AWESOME!
So I put a lot of time into making this video in remembrance of Lakeland’s Adair Skatepark. It may not have been the greatest park in the world, but I can honestly say I had a deep appreciation for this place and I’ll never forget the last 11 years that I skated there regularly. Some of the local homies have teamed up and created a Facebook page to support the building of a new skatepark here in town. With your support we can really make this project come alive. Please visit this link and click LIKE. That’s all I ask. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lakeland-Skaters-Alliance/240641595989019
And yes, I made this entire movie using my iPhone 4s. It’s seriously incredible what this phone is capable of. I even made this post from my iPhone. Leave your comments in my ask box or on the Facebook page. I’d appreciate it. ENJOY!!!!

Every year the Lakeland Christmas parade of chairs is viewed by thousands.
Ok. Truth is, this crazy town lets people set up chairs 24 hours before the parade.
