notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: Black binder with plastic cover with a color picture of a man inside a matchbook with flames all around it. The inside contains white pages enclosed in polyethylene sleeves. The pages are filled with small colored photographs of skaters skating in various places in and around North Carolina. They include pipe hubbas, stair stacks, ledges, banks, bumps, hips, tranny walls, manual pads, gaps, and miscellaneous cell phone pics. Some of the images are circled in red. The donor created this “Spot book” of local skate spots in North Carolina about 10 years ago. The binder was kept so visiting skaters could get an idea of available skateable terrain and visit the spots. “Spot Books” are legendary in the skate world but with the rise of digital devices are seldom used or seen anymore.
