The Volcom Brand Jeans Costalombia Tour just finished up with a demo in Medellin,
Colombia. David Gonzalez, Luan Oliveira and Collin Provost were all shredding at the
Skatepark del Estadio while Gravette hung with the crowd and signed autographs, having
injured himself earlier on the tour. This was the first time David Gonzalez ever did a demo
in his hometown and he was super excited to see some friends and family in the crowd. As
expected, the skatepark was overtaken by the massive crowd with hundreds of people
waiting to see some action. It took about 30 minutes for the local police to clear the crowd
from the inner part of the skatepark, then the shredding began.
Collin looked a little shocked upon seeing the crowd surrounding the park.
We made our way to the top of the park to hear the crowd chanting "DAVID, DAVID,
DAVID!"
The local police had to clear out the park so that we could skate.
The crowd.
Security had to lock hands around the perimeter to keep the crowd from taking over the
skatepark.
People were even watching from the surrounding trees.
