Tags: #jkjhnsn
Additional Comment: In short, Jake’s board shot out and hit a lady in the ankle and dudes tried keeping him there until the cops came. Jake humored them for a good hour until I convinced him that we were wasting way too much time and to dip. Once we did, the lady’s husband chased us on foot for a good 5 blocks, with no chance of catching us, obviously.

Additional Comment: Was skating this set up after Slappy Sundays at Astor and this dude came up trying to kick us out of this spot that he has nothing to do with (skating construction material in front of a building still being built, which he does not own nor lives in). I skated in circles around him the whole time he was on the phone with the cops, making his dogs go crazy, pulling him in all directions.
