From RGold's book of wisdom:
"We need more kids who know basic trig identities, not more kids with mad skatin' skilz."
I could not agree more.

Let's play,
( I'll try to get it to show! , reduce the code to 'No Apersand, or equals sign, )
(then back it into a brackets that starts wth YouTube=. C! That worked! Cool video)
Skateboarding
Skatin' was a way to get out and we had some street runs that were reported to be super fast 23-6mph!m
I think ?
So I'm one, of course, as JBro pointed out at post #3(?) I've also got a PH.D. In the hustle on f the red cloth that was once always aGreen felt over slate.
Rack'em up has had many meanings in my 5 decades

Send all these punks to Skate Academy if they won't keep their grades up and persistently hang with low types, getting into a gang, maybe, even.
My son Scottie the Finder was a skater and Bueno Boarding was his shop, but he continued to take business classes at the JC and now is respectable in spectacles and only because it's a relaxed office does he not have to wear a tie.
His mom let him skate to his heart's content and he got VERY GOOD and became a local icon for lots of younger punks who loved to hang at the shop when not skating. Unfortunately, his income there wasn't enough to raise a family, so all those kids were left hanging. Or not hanging around Bueno, anyway.
For the whole two years the shop remained open Scottie provided transportation for a carload of punks and their boards and backpacks to and from skating comps all over the Central Valley, Bay Area, and the Central Coast. The deal was that parents needed to be informed fully of where and when, and with whom; the kid had to maintain his grades at a certain level or he was banned until they came back to snuff; and there was no smoking oar contraband allowed.
I've talked to several young men around town who recall Scott's mentoring and his ability on the wheels. They are all in agreement that his example made a difference in their lives.
He started up a company to sell his custom-designed decks over two years ago. He arranged this evening in May RIGHT DOWNSTAIRS from where I live on Main Street to celebrate his start-up.
I posted it all on The Flames soon after.

Schools are for learning, not for skating comps. We have enough official "jock" stuff. Let the skaters rule themselves and you'd maybe be surprised, though Scottie is like one in I don't know how many dealers that would take the trouble to help kids live better lives in their futures.

damn that r mullen video was super technical sk8n. Its crazy to think about how much he's influenced/progressed skating in the last 30 yrs, but personally Id much rather watch aaron homoki any day.....
for me sk8n should be ... a lil less hip hop and a whole lot more punk rock
