Looks so cool and easy to ride it, pure fun.

threw em away only last week. using the classic vidion street wears now (got 5 pairs of those last month very cheap, for the same purpose )

did I mention I slammed hard a few days after this was filmed? right now I got road rash on both knees & elbows and I think I have a crack in my wrist (which I'm not seeing a doctor for, it'll heal by itsself). it was getting dark & I wanted to do one last air before calling it a day. obviously that didn't turn out so well

doesn't matter, I'll prolly skate till I fall apart, it keeps me off the drugs . oldschool rules

In my time "gay" meant "happy" goddamnit!
