Freediving: Diving Au Naturel
What Is Freediving? Freediving is the act of diving down under the surface of water with no air source, ie holding you breath.

Suffolk Park Final Designs
After some process drama, the two new Suffolk skatepark designs are here from Spohn Ranch. Suffolk was working with a small budget and wanted two parks. Originally one was going to be a bowl, but budget and site constraints kept that from happening. Personally I am stoked on these parks. No fences, no monitors or passes. No giant vert walls. Just fun stuff to skate. I'd like to see other cities building more smaller parks instead of one giant park. What do you guys think?
