This reminds me of an intro editorial in al hard copy version of Slap mag, not sure of the issue but it was published after 2000.
It was making the argument that driving to a spot is lame if you don't need to, and that you should skate to spots whenever possible. There was a pic of a dude using a jump ramp to launch over a car, and the caption read something like, "The only acceptable use of a car at a skate spot."
I thought it was kind of a ridiculous claim. Drive if you want to, drive around the world. Or ride your bike. Who cares.
