Whatever

Maybe I should apologise for yet another lapse into 80s skating. Then again, maybe I shouldn't. It's killer. If you don't get it, you don't get a lot of things. As I keep telling my sons.

(Here's what they say: "Dad, can't you just grow up and be normal?"

Me: "Do you want me to wear beige trousers, stop skating and proclaim my allegiance to conservatism?"

Them: "Whatever.")

Cool skate vid, this is from the Santa Cruz vid Wheels of fire that has been re-issued, easily the best pre-90’s skate film with a sound track that sad to say I still listen to. Also on the vid is Tony Alva skating whole pipe, Christian Hosoi at rapid water half pipe etc.etc.
