There are a ton of dicks spray painted at our local skatepark wondering if this is what happened to GAY!
[close]

Speaking of triggers! Your question posed as a statement took me back.....back.........back...............back

I was a little straight boy in Albuquerque, New Mexico, wheeling around on my Variflex "Twisted". That board was my first big board...something that wasn't just a little strip of yellow plastic and some shitty wheels on tiny trucks. I was so proud of it but when I would push it, it would circle hard to the right because the trucks were so screwed up. Since I was new to skateboarding I didn't know if that was some kind of "feature"...like, since it was called the "Twisted" model it curved hard to the right. I was ignorant and scared of other skaters because everything was so new and skateboarders seemed so rough and mean, so I never asked anyone. I just rode around in circles and tried to look cool. #embarrassing

Me and some neighborhood kids went to skate the ditch nearby. Ditch skating is everything in Albuquerque and everyone lives near one. Some are more ridable than others due to their steepness and having some kind of a transition at the bottom rather than just a hard angle. I lived near one that was particularly popular with the big kids who could do bonelesses and such, and as such the ditch was covered with graffiti and all sorts� of gnarly stuff that bigger kids did when they were smoking cigarettes and ditching class.

On this particular day it was just me and li'l Ricky from up the street. We were both horrible at skating...we'd try to skate the ditch standing up but it was really scary, so often we'd sit on our boards and ride down the ditch and then kind of fall off on the other side. This day was different though...there was some new graffiti...images I'd never seen before. Some were really cool, like the Rat Bones logo and an anarchy symbol, images I'd draw on jean jackets and notebook covers over and over from that day forward. But there was another image there at the ditch...one that burned into my retinas, that hooked itself into my subconscious, that took over my psyche like no other idea that had occurred to me before. It was similar to this:



For the record, that's just a facsimile of the image I happened across that day, but the effect is the same. From that day forward I wanted to know more about this deity that had been scribed upon the side of the ditch there off Comanche in my home town. I needed to know. I craved this thing...I didn't know what I could do with it, but something inside me said that I wanted to eat it or sit on it, although I didn't understand what that meant at that early age. I loved this thing.

I've always thought that if I hadn't stumbled upon this image in the ditch I might be a Youth Minister of a Baptist Church today with 2 kids and a wife who obeyed my every whim.

Damn that image in the ditch. Damn it to hell, which is where I'll be going since it ruined my life.
lol! I actually heard the wind chimes/xylophone effect in my head and the "back" getting more reverby

one thing i find rather puzzling is OP's concern that arto and/or the video guy might be into nazism because someone drew a symbol in the background of a place in which arto happened to skate, but he doesn't seem too concerned over the widely known fact that adi dassler, the creator of adidas footwear, was a member of the nazi party. as evidenced by his posts inquiring about adidas shoes that he seems to fancy.

it's only flammable cause you're being flaming about it. should we edit out penis grafitti or cusswords from skate photos? wouldn't that be kind of erasing history? next you and your sewing circle should protest schools that read huck finn.

Yeah but it's like an ancient hindu symbol of oneness and peace and stuff, and this was from 1916, so doesn't count.  ;)

Can we change this thread to awesome swazi pictures instead of worrying about the intention behind Arto's documentarian's editing?

Gay, it's a good thing your local ditch didn't have this as graffiti, or who knows where your life would be now?!

I always wanted to start a swazifails.tumblr, but I'm just too lazy for that shit. Still snap a picture every time I find one though.

Hoping this is just some random incident in the foreground and not a statement by the photographer of his upbringing?

Also I'm questioning the editor of the magazine. The dude included a photo with the swazi clearly visible.  Why include it at all when you know it's an inflammable topic?

Mike Carroll and Arto definitely started their careers in Danny Way's Hitlerjugend.

The "PC" generation at its finest.  Leave the burn bubble you all dwell in.  Don't like it, don't look at it, cause you and I know you wouldn't have the balls to say anything in person to someone that drew it.  You are worse than the people that put these on walls.

I would have never even realized that was a swastika. I guess he was going for a Manson vibe with the forehead but damn does that look like shit.

Didn't your buddy make a swasdicka shirt? Think I remember that from some real old YWS post, maybe on one of those trips where you guys got sponsored by beer. I remember being very jealous that I was not sponsored by beer.
