Shutting it down
So DANE says, “really… If I land this in five more tries I get wheels and we’re never coming back here… Never coming back?! Oh it’s going down….”
This was after a handful of tries and a bit of tape. The “Raintree Ledges” as we call them, will cause what most call frustration… Lol
Sorry, I only laugh because I only skate for fun… I know my limits, I know when I can skate, lurk and film…. Or when to sit down.. I dont do battles well. I don’t like to be filmed, so I don’t have to worry about all that stuff. Anyways, back to the story…
This spot is a hard spot to get use too, but it’s quite attractive to many skaters. It’s even been in the best skate video out of Colorado to date. Oh… the title… wait you don’t know…. Well check it out! “The Stakes is High” presented by The Denver Shop or you could be lame and look up some of the parts on there YouTube! But anyway, I have been going back to this spot over and over and over, throughout the last 10 or so years, filming battles of every kind from: BACK SMITHS to HURRICANES to this present battle your reading about.
This battle began at Ka*Mitt SkateShop
at 9am… The previous week or so, I had given an order to all the P’web-Lokos to get to the shop early (9am) so we can go filming, because…. well how the Chocolate Skateboard Company says about there newest video… “We are working on it…” but of course nobody showed up… Except for Dane.
So of course, we went to the spots he wanted to partake in stunt stick maneuvers…
First we went to the brick yard!! It’s a little place in Pueblo that is full of creative things, that could be cool spots… but most skate the corner. It’s over a big curb into brick bank. Makes for good tricks and way fun to film. Dane got his first trick of the day here….
I am not going to tell you what he did, but you might be able guess what it is from the pic.
Anyways, we allowed RickD to proceed in a battle called a little tre-flip… And he couldn’t win. Therefore, allowing the spot to kick his ass! HA!
After this… For some reason I won’t say *clear throat while saying* Ricky… So we had went to the shop and charged the batteries for a little and sold some product…. Then we decided to go to another spot for Ricky.
The Raintree Ledges
This was where three tricks went down.. Nic Abeyta, Ricky DeHerrera, and Dane Scott came through putting some clips down… Dane had a little bit more of a fight with his actually trying for quite a while… But in the end, after all the shit talking, falls, missed attempts, bitching and bets… All it took was to tell him…
“If you land it in five try’s… Ricky will get you those wheels… And I will make sure we never come back to this spot!!
Sure enough two try’s in…. BAM! Clip captured… Nice one Dane!
P’WEB-LOKOS for life

SO HERE WE ARE!!
Well three months ago I (fred) got a wild hair up my @$$ and decided to go talk to my buddy Ricky D. “Yo, how much money can you come up with??” I asked him. “I don’t know I will have to talk to my G-ma and Mom.” He replied. A week later we were sitting around a table smoking cigarettes and talking of how we are going to do this shop.
And the Dream was born….. Then we start working are butts off trying to find a building….. building after building we call and start trying to wheel and deal a lease into order. 
finally we find a building, but needs ridiculous amounts of work so we begin…. Ripping down walls and destroying the inside of this building to make it into the space we need to make a great shop!!
It definitely was a blast! Punching holes in the wall… watching Tracy try to run through a wall… and just going crazy on some of that shit…. LOL!!! BUT, the cleanup and construction was a pain in the hands, back, hip and ass. BUT definitely was well worth it and semi-fun too!!!
Next was construction…. I know something about… RICKY, on the other hand… well nevermind, he doesn’t know shit!!! Well except for big kickflips!! LOL….. But anyway so we started finishing the walls, scraping the floor, clean, clean, and clean… Then we had to get some electrical work done. Luckily, I have a great friend, by the name of Von Ripper, who not only loaned us all the tools and knowledge to get the final product, but introduced us to his dad. His dad was an electrical genius and even gave us a great deal!! THANKS BIG WILL!!!
Next we started doing the texture and finish work to get the building ready for some paint. The texture was an absolute pain in the ass!! Mainly because Fred decided, “Let’s flat finish the bottom and have an orange peel texture up top…
” That was a dumb idea… oh whoops that was me… oh well it was dumb, but now that it is done, it’s a great idea. It looks pretty good… have had a lot of feedback.
That is the end of it!!….. NOT… now to rip all tape and paper and plastic down and finish the wall with some colors. Now on the colors… not my fault (Fred). I asked everyone for some input. All I wanted was olive-green…. it ended up being “baby diariah green” LOL, but still I think looks good. They grey is way cool because of the way we set up the colored lights. Did I know it would do that… OF COURSE, if you’re really asking me. (but I really didn’t till it was done) The white just goes good… and the red? Red came from a collaboration of Mrod telling me to have an accent wall orange and Riv Von Ripper saying I should put red somewhere. Originally, I wanted the door red but it ended up being wood and the orange wasn’t my steez…. so we put red!! So that was the decision!!
Finally we can slap some paint on the walls! This is the hallway that we built to have the doors to the office, store-room, and bathroom located. That is the base gray we used!! Eventually we painted the entire bathroom red!! This is the final color scheme!! I like it, some others like it… some hate it… LET ME KNOW!!
After it’s all said and done we have worked our BUTTS off, but I think it’s definitely worth it… We are definitely a CORE shop.. being skater owned and operated!!
So COME ON IN… CHECK US OUT…. WE WON’T BITE!! and we will order anything that you want even if we don’t carry it!! We want to help grow the scene and make Pueblo known for being a great skateboarding community of Colorado!!! Shit…. Maybe even get someone sponsored out of here… so grab your stunt sticks and get stunty!@!
Thank you for your time!! Skatin Por Vida!!
