Photos by Jonathan Becker

This spot had a tall ass fence you had to hop to get in. I got on top and the crotch of my pants got caught on the fence. I was completely upside down with one leg over one side and the rest of my body on the other being held up by the fabric of my jeans. Becker tries to snap a flick and soon as the cams out the fabric gives and I fell off the fence. Now we’re inside the spot and it’s brick as shit out, 20-25 degrees, and mad windy. We got the photo as quick as possible and called it a day shortly after.
Becker picked me up and we headed up to north Philly. It starts to rain pretty heavy but we still went anyways, optimistic that it would chill. We pull up and without time to waste I jump out and pop a few ollies over the rail. Not too much long after we walk away with a heelflip too.
We finally were able to go to the original rail up north I had been fiending to hit. Except this time it’s even colder than before, and for some reason, I couldn’t get myself to hop on. I decided It’d probably be best to just get something down the stairs instead. Nothing worked out the way it was supposed to but we walked away with some great content I’m happy with. Becker’s the man for making this all possible and for being open to cruise all over Philly to check out these spots with me. It was the most fun I had in a minute.
