…skate & destroy… February 14th, 2008
UPDATE: my very good friend Joe was kind enough to post an old shot of me riding that very board on his blog “Everything Under the Sun”
I watched the “Dogtown and Z-Boys” documentary the other night on the Biography Channel. It has since inspired me to do the following:
1. Pull my long neglected board out of the trunk of my car and use it to run errands around Adams Morgan
2. Purchase a new sweet pair of es Jasper shoes (which kind of look like Timberlands but I like them anyway)
3. Dork out and take a series of photographs of my abused/loved board
Next thinks on the list are:
4. remember how to do some damn tricks
5. buy some softer wheels so I can get around with out sounding like a freight train
6. scan in my old skateboarding photos so I can archive them and relive my past glories
7. remember that I’m not 14 anymore and try not to break myself
The set-up hasn’t received much attention since I graduated high-school but here is what I’m riding:
Deck: Alien Workshop w/ sweet homemade OBEY GIANT stickers
Trucks: Venture
Wheels: 56mm Spitfire
Here is a link to a youtube video of my buddy from growing up Willy Akers . Willy stuck with it when everyone else fell off, rumor is he might have a pro board coming out soon from 5Boro (that’s him on the entry page). Sick.
