hardflip the legal code bich
Anyone ready to confess actually ordering it and reading? How bad can it be?
Warning: The story includes a few scenes with drugs, sex, swearing and other subjects that might not be suitable for children.Of course Walker Ryan put this warning on his book. Don’t buy it for your kids guys.
People writing fiction about skating has almost always been bad in relation to both skating and writing. Just like skateboarding movies are usually pretty bad at both skateboarding and being movies. I don't expect this to be any better. Though, how would I know? I still can't work up the stomach to read Kyle Beachy's novel and he's almost definitely a better writer than Walker Ryan. I think skateboarding is better suited to memoir style writing and cultural analysis as opposed to fiction. Skating is something you do and document and talk about. It's not really something you tell a story about. Especially not for an audience of non-skaters. Maybe Frank could write a novel about Ducky Darnsworth and Gary Headlock or something that's just so wacky and out there absurd that it would make for a funny read. But, for me, skating and fiction don't really work.

I have read and enjoyed Tony Hawk's autobiography even though it is not really a great book by any literary standarts. I also enjoyed Dave Carnies's "boob" and Nieratko's "Skinema". All of these books aren't really fiction, though.I haven't been a fan of Scott Burns writing even though I tried hard to like it, because I like his skating and some of his interviews as a skater were interesting. But: His attempt at complete authenticity or whatever he's trying to do just doesn't work for me. That shit died when Hemingway put a gun to his head. Don't take yourself so seriously man.I am interested in Walker Ryan's book. Can someone write a review for us? Anyone read that Kyle Beachy book?

i saw my grandma bail off a 4 set once in my house and she even got up and came to red lobster after.
get wasted and pass out.
Anyone ready to confess actually ordering it and reading? How bad can it be?Nowadays it seems so easy to write and publish a book. However readable books are from authors with some writing background.I enjoy Walker's skating but I doubt him as an author.
I love when people bring up world hunger. It makes everything meaningless."That guy is double parked.""Who cares? There are people starving to death! Besides, how does that affect you? Does it lessen the joy of parking?
