i by no means keep abreast [or apenis] of black ninja's exploits but his actual parts are the dopeshow! 'guess who's skatin again? wallridin again, w/ a filmer and friend?' gets stuck in my head from time to time. and when someone dodges traffic i think 'ya need to slow it down like whoah serge murphy'.
when i was explaining 50-50 to wallride i think he had a video showing just that, kid is really good.
i had an epiphany a wk or so ago that i shared w/ jim and dan. my partner in DIY, filming and whatever else is a 36 yr old who's marketed to like a little kid. there's all this youtube out there full of classics, new guys killing it, in betweens like jake johnson who weren't around in the 90s but aren't new jacks either and my man is watching andy shrock. and drinking red bull. and riding elements.
i wanna do an intervention but since we don't have much of a peer group, it's just us 2 sharing space w/ all the other skaters of my town on differing shifts there's nobody to tell him he's indoctrinated.
i mean, i can tell him but it doesn't have the same shame inducing tone coming from me.
wish my man would just drink a large regular from Cumby's, skate a deck from an east coast company and watch some damn jerry fisher or something.
