@joe_sib: I thought… the Village People were rad. And then when I go to the skateboard park, there’s this. It was like. It was like being like, born.
Because I walk in there with my dad and it’s totally foreign. Everything to me, you know, to the way that the kids that were there to to the way everyone’s, you know, skating and and seeing it as a sport suddenly and then being welcomed into that. And I wasn’t good. But being like, that’s the great thing about skateboarding is that you can go to a skateboard park tonight and you, you could show up and, and you can join a session that is being just, you know, just being shredded and ripped apart by just the locals. And, and then you can drop in and just do a little kick turn. And if the next time you drop in the kick turn just a foot higher, everyone is going to cheer for you just as loud as they are for that guy blasting a backside air or a Smith grind and you’re like, whoa, like I’m a part of this. So I love that. And the music changed. You know? That was the first place ever that I heard punk rock that like, true punk rock. The germs, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, 999, the Buzzcocks. I was just like, what the hell is this?
