jays dords - dtown

Over the last 2 decades in skateboarding i've had the pleasure of meeting some real unique fellows, one-of-kind weirdos, heroes where you'd expect only drinkers and gamblers, some proper champions amongst men. rory sweeney is one or all of the above. he is the engine behind the d-town skatepark in Donegal town. a park pretty far from the beaten track, a park where none really ought to exist, this is all part of the magic. we hit the road, through the Barnsmore gap last weekend insearch of the mythic park and to share a bit of passive smoke with the wild man of the Donegal Hills....
