I tried to do a trick of a picnic table, the board went straight down and I landed on top of it. Let me tell you this was the worst bruise I have ever had in my entire life. LOL

Neither race nor color should define talent and interest. But hey, this isn’t a perfect world and there are so many complexities that come with life. If only more people would just learn to let go and share the love. At least, change does seem to spring up.

I remember when Tony Hawk was a 17 year-old kid with his own house and a new Subaru (how cool was that?!) But I also remember there were some Brothers on the Pro set that I looked up to, most notably Steve Steadham (Google/Wiki him) that paved the way. As rampant drug use and gang activity (on its way back?) became less of a defaulted choice in the mid/late 90′s we found that skating fit nicely with our backpacks, Mountain Dew and Pharcyde CD’s. Those were the days…

Sorry, but I’m compelled to get a quick hit in on the story I’ve been waiting for the tweezers of journalism and sociology to finally grasp: Black is not a race. Specifically, we have been wrong to maintain the idea

I’ve been noticing the same thing out here in Jersey, and was wondering about the basis. It allows kids growing up in the hip-hop generation an alternative image to subscribe to.
