Stay Gold.<br /><br />rcoope summed it up for me:<br /><br />"One aspect of this culture that they mentioned but didn't completely explore degree to which this scene respects elders. Like that picture Max had here a few months ago of someone's grandfather on his bike back in the 50's, "cooler than you will ever be". Twenty years ago no skater would have ever put up a picture of anyone's grandpa doing anything and suggested it was cool at all. I think it shows the notion of wholesale rebellion against your parents was very much a baby boomer phenomenon. The cool guys were the returning soldiers (older than boomers) and the boomers were just annoying. It's taken their kids to realize that the whole a-historic general rebellion thing is a waste of time." <br /><br />See you on the road...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04567185706898849230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1199565261434052777.post-66353724715085117142010-07-23T16:33:00.081-07:002010-07-23T16:33:00.081-07:00Skateboarders are Bike-Curious...Skateboarders are Bike-Curious...Rouferthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01077651357345615622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1199565261434052777.post-62233093787408314032010-07-23T02:11:36.886-07:002010-07-23T02:11:36.886-07:00freekin awsome... with you 100% well said. i'm...freekin awsome... with you 100% well said. i'm just too big to SK8 now, a little too much flex in the board..jonspeedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12980878462083528571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1199565261434052777.post-29806394723086248432010-07-23T02:06:13.324-07:002010-07-23T02:06:13.324-07:00fuck yeah max.

I don't identify with their Skate/motorcycle view. HD has to do what they need to.
