I'm glad I went to college when I did.
The growth of anti-intellectualism over the last six or seven years doesn't help. There's a state university in my town and every semester they complain about the declining enrollment. I wish it would register with them that when you raise the tuition every year that it is going to price students out. Offering vague scholarships or discounts isn't going to help, but dropping the cost would. We don't need all those extra deans, vice presidents, or fancy Schools of _______. Those cuts at the top are never going to happen, but it'd be great if it did.
I got a bearing press a few years go. It's wonderful. I still need to put some Venture stickers over the Indy logos. You can't set up your board with power tools, unless you are drilling holes for rails or a nose guard.
I think people see the dork tricks and think they can do them without the necessary prep work, which is how you end up with shitty bonelesses and laybacks. A well done boneless that is blasted into the air on a quarterpipe or vert ramp is a thing of beauty. The key with off the wall tricks is to sprinkle them in sparingly with the regular tricks of the day. Also thought has to go into picking out the tricks, too. Dusting off a long forgotten mini ramp trick is cool because it shows attention to detail and the history of skateboarding. You can't just be backflipping off of stuff as your main gimmick.
Didn't Monkey Stix try a board company for a minute? Enrique Lorenzo was on the team, possibly after riding for Deca.
We are less living in a robust pluralism than a debilitating relativism . . .
things are fragile and need protecting, like think about Stereo turning a girl bowl skater pro for Welcome Stereo -
there is a pervasive anti-critical stance where people are egotistical about not caring about "being cool" - like its all just subjective, but what they don't consider is within subjectivity there are value judgements being flouted (now more than ever), but you still can't complain because it's all subjective bro
just look at all the companies we cared about so much as teenagers now parodies of themselves now that we are in middle age . . . its depressing
that being said, I want to colab on EMB the musical! Lets get some West Side Story Show tunes/mixed with Tony Fergusson's song in Goldfish! :p
