Great post
Bro you bought back so many memories, I'm sitting here thinking about my first skateboard, before pads, grip tape........shit before urathane wheels. I went down a hill in Torrance..and when I mean down........STRAIGHT DOWN.....no slalom......just straight fuking balls out down. I must have been going a good 20mph and BAM......head first into the asphalt
I think my body rolled at least 20 times, my friends thought I was dead....there was nothing left of my LEVIS and it took the doctors 3 hours to scrub the gravel out of my skin over 65% of my body, a crack in my forehead 2 inches in length and I walked like a Zombie for 2 weeks......GOD THAT WAS FUKIN FUN!! i should have been dead, but they grew us tough then, not like these fukin pansies now.
Remember dirt claud fights?? Getting beaned with a nice 3 inch round solid piece of mother earth in the forhead was a blast....shit I remember there would be teams of 8 on 8 fighting in the hills, now those hills are gone and the kids now play with guns when they have a score to settle.
Yea, we really have progressed into a society of hiding behind our phones,cars, and homes. God forbid anyone just show up on your door anymore just to stop and say "hello"
Anyhoo......thanks for the post it really brought back a truly wonderful childhood that I had forgotten
