Keep on Skatin'

Summer will soon be here!
I am getting very anxious to skate again. It will be almost 10 years this coming Easter that I have been skating. It has grown to become a lifestyle of mine.
I was very much involved with it during highschool. Yet, as of now I try to shy away from the media side of it. Skateboarding has become so mainstream lately, that it has lost the true meaning behind it. Which is to have fun.

I say, screw the stereotypical values that go along with it...i.e. the clothes, the language, the media. That isn't why I began.

This picture encapsulates so much. It is Mike Carroll at EMB in San Fran. Classic pose, classic style. Almost looks like he's dancing. Artistic impression at its finest.
