skateboarder  I mean, when it comes down to it, skateboarding is just as dumb as any other thing people do for fun. That said, skateboarding was different in San Francisco. It was gritty and raw. We had big ass hills to bomb, Hispanic gangs to avoid and bums to fight. It wasn't some kids down at the rec center, the whole city was the skate park. In a weird way, I owe my life to 4 wheels and that place. |

I was doing some remodeling at my mom and dad's house about 15 years ago and had to open a wall to rewire some stuff and to replace some crappy sheetrock my younger brother installed in 1989. When I got the sheetrock off, I noticed there was no insulation. Instead, my brother had stuffed the wall with old newspapers and copies of Thrasher Magazine circa 1981-1984. I told my mom about it and she said she gave him money for insulation, but it appears he stole the money and stuffed the wall with magazines. Sounds about right. I just tossed the mags. Were they worth something?
My experience with SF skateboarders in the 80's was they were anti-social pricks who hung out at Justin Herman Plaza and Union Square harassing tourists and shoppers. |

Thrash in peace, Phelpers.
Most of the times in my life that I've been to the ER, or SHOULD have gone, a skateboard was involved. And I'd have it no other way.
I have never been a good skater but I swear I'm not done yet. If I can get my weight back down below 200 pounds, I'm going to get back on the board yet again. I'm 53. |

I've still got my Gordon & Smith FibreFlex with Tracker Trucks, G&S Yo-Yo's, and a spare set of Belair Lip Bombs, Cell Blocks and Pivot Pad. I bought them new in 1978 and still have them. The old school clay-rubber truck pads are getting harder and harder to find.
I'm about the same age as Jake. I cannot imagine wrecking (...or riding fast) at my age or in 2017...wow |

I had a Nash fishtail plastic board in the late 70s, and would tear-ass all over our neighborhood on it or my bicycle. I never got good enough to do tricks on it, but would find a tall, steep hill(lots of them in West Nashville)and go as fast as I dared. My rides usually ended in speed-wobbling, falling off the board, and then sliding to a stop on some part of my body.
The grass grows thick and lush in Belmont/Hillsboro due to the amount of skin and blood I left on the streets. |

At my retirement ceremony I was presented with a deck signed by Master Chief Brian Brannon, aka the frontman for JFA.
Been years since I rode one. Might need to get back on. |

I tried to skate when I was a kid... it looked so awesome. I was just not cut out for it, but always appreciated and envied those who could thrash.

Having a boy three years ago really got me back into it (his board second from bottom). I wore wrist guards for the first year back, smartest thing I could have done. |
