Awadh Mohammed and 👉 Aaron Sweeney at Jon’s Ramp in the late 2000s, along with 👉 more Awadh at Harlow Skatepark. I stumbled upon these clips whilst doomscrolling @kevinparrott’s account the other night in search of some Cardiel footage, and figured they were due a reup. Was always a pleasure to witness these two on any terrain - enjoy!
