"Watch out for your teeth." - Mom
I have long been an admirer of skateboarding. It’s a huge part of pop culture that I’ve always oggled over. Everyone from the Beastie Boys to Bam Margera to Willy Santos have all blown my mind. I remember standing around at Slam City Jam watching the riders drop-in, rail-grind…and even just stand upright on the boards totally balanced. I was jealous.
I’ve decided that I need something constructive to channel myself into since everything else in my life right now seems to be destructing. Okay, so that’s somewhat of a hyperbole but it certainly feels that way. Anyways, Susie popped the trunk on her car to reveal her 10+ years old Willy Santos deck with Sumo wheels. I grabbed it and rode down the length of our parking garage.
“Can I borrow this? Riding this is actually making me smile.”
“Sure” she replied.
So now the deck is sitting in my entranceway, waiting to come back to the Island with me this weekend. This is the first time in weeks that I’ve been really excited about something. True, I am excited for Christmas, setting up my decorations and shopping and all that, but that isn’t yet something tangible. Although, making my wish list did leave me a little tingly.

…damn right, you better watch those teeth!!!
You know Keys, You’d look pretty cute in some Koston’s, baggy jeans and a tight world industries zip up
I would, wouldn’t I?
Oh wait! World Industries? No, never…I hate their little flame guy logo. I stick to the basics like Volcom and Etnies.
but those aren’t REAL skater.. those are chic-fashionista-skater. Only the pretty peopel wear those brand s because they don’t actually skate in them.
Aren’t I a “pretty people?”
now you can be a pretty people poser… its the PPP triple threat!!!
watch yourself skate world, K is on her way.
oooh, that rhymes. sorta.
Who knows, Brock. Maybe I have the skills to pay the bills. At least I know I have balance.
YOU SHOULD GET A LONGBOARD INSTEAD! much easier/smoother ride.. much hotter… mmmm less teeth injury too… its like surfing on concrete..mmmm
