Big Boys Wheel-Release Party at Lizard DIY
4/23/2023
A few weekends back, Cherries wheels (the first female-owned wheel company) hosted a skate party at Austin’s Lizard DIY to celebrate the release of their new Big Boys wheel—a tribute to the legendary Austin Skate Rock band. This community skate event summoned different generations of skaters and music enthusiast all in one ditch, with “family reunion” being the most overheard phrase of the day. Complete with contemporary Skate Rock from Black Mercy, the Pinky Rings performance, food from Moonowl and the chance to get first dibs on fresh Cherries merch, the party was fun, fun, fun for everyone. —Cattackular
