Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
Dallas skateboarder Jeff Phillips was landing tricks in skate parks before Bob Burnquist could walk. He popularized “Phillips 66,” an adaptation of the fakie 360 invert. He even beat skateboard legends Tony Hawk, Mike McGill and Steve Caballero in the same tournament (reportedly while he was tripping on acid). But Phillips’ suicide in 1993 ended his career. Pay tribute to the legend at 2 p.m. Saturday at Boneless One 3 at the Overground Project (2117 S. Ervay St.) and watch renowned skateboarders such as Dave Allen and Jake Brown shred on a world-class vertical ramp (50 feet wide and 13 feet tall). Tickets are $10 at Index Skateboard Supply or $15 at the door. For more information, visit facebook.com/overgroundskateboarding.
