Had lurked for years, showing up dutifully to take “the temp on the skreets” every time some new gossip would unfold.
Used to have a pretty solid regime of checking the craig tap boards, Deluxe boards, skate daily, etc. & wound up with the impression that this place had the snarkasm dial turned to just the right spot for my tastes.
Of all things, it was the thread announcing the new Gring King
Disruptor trucks that got me to finally create a user profile & start posting.
At first that
@GK Satoshi fellow’s chipper demeanor galled me, but I came to love him for it in time.
I went in hard on our boy ChaDD Sinclair for a few posts initially too, but that Rojo Norteño won me over when he went wrist deep up that Feddy Potter dude’s ass & gave the works to those Scientologist bros at Remive.
I love when people I don’t care for at first give me cause to second guess myself & examine my motivations for disliking them. I usually discover an insecurity of my own & every once in a while I get the validation of finding out that person actually IS an asshole & I was right. So I win either way: thanks SLAP bloards.
Plus, I’ve met some cool people & made more than a few rad IRL friends in here.
I’m actually looking forward to meeting YOU, next time your in my neighborhood. Hit me up when you’re in the city.
