almost 20 years now.....jesus... i remember the first time i felt like i NEEDED to skateboard.....i was at the warwick mall in RI (it was an RI mall, i know that much), and i wanted to take my big fucking single kicktail (not even a nash....a Benny's no-name skateboard that had a badass skull with a knife through it and just skate off the ledge next to the entrance as fast as humanly possible. i had no idea about tricks, no fucking clue about kickflips, shuv its, tailslides, NOTHING. just going fast, and jumping off of big fucking things. Fuck yeah.

if you are skateboarding as a hobby....you will be quitting in no time. they always do.

props to all the people who recognize their first love.

 

 

I've been skateboarding 22 years.

I gave up any fantasy of ever turning it into a living well over 10 years ago.

Skateboarding is a hobby for me. It's something that I do because it's fun.

 

And I wasn't dead serious with that post about "everybody go find a new hobby".

i find it strange when people consider a commitment to skateboarding the same as building model cars or collecting guns or scrapbooking or restoring old furniture...because thats what i think of when i hear the word hobby.

 

since we have our dicks out...ive been skating since 1987-88....ive gotten shop flow when i was younger...but i skate now for the same reason i skated when i was a kid...because i love it.

"I like grinding, dude, that's what it's all about. For me, alls I want to do is fucking grind my back truck to hell and back. It's all about grinding the back truck. You're not skating unless you grind the back truck. I don't give a fuck about the front truck, grind the back truck. Grind the back truck, and then you're a real skateboarder. Grind it. Grind the fucking back truck."

 

I think that just summed up everything for me. Ever. If you've seen me skate, you know.
