DOUG BROWN: Beyond the Board
A purpose and meaning from four wheels and a piece of wood
Authored by: Doug Brown

This isn't a story about skateboarding. This is a story of how I found myself through skateboarding. You won't find a focus on my skate maneuvers or a book of trick tips. It's all irrelevant what companies I represent or the accolades that come with skating as a profession. It's been a time line of self discovery, experience, and communication. The bulk of these writings took place in airports while on long layovers or hotel rooms while on the road. I wrote out my thoughts using a pad of paper here, the back of a menu waiting for room service there. Looking back, I hold this time of my life dear to my heart and never want to forget it. As much as I want to write it for my own satisfaction, I write it also to share with anyone who wonders how a person gets to this point in his life. Like most people, I've had some highs, had some lows and experienced a lot of things. Lucky for me, I've done it through something I love, skateboarding. In this world of skateboarding I have found self worth, freedom, friends, travel, adventure, and a dream career. Living life we all have a story to tell. This one is mine.

"Not only did Doug have a great story but he told it in a way that kids should see it. Not just another, "Just Say No" speech. It came from a guy that knows what it takes. He has given everyone hope, dreams and the knowledge that you don't have to do drugs to be cool. The dude's a professional skateboarder fitting the criteria of being cool. Doug Brown has life on straight with these kids, the skaters, future skaters everyone listened and took it all in. We appreciate Doug's efforts to encourage all of us!" - Clinton County Skatepark Association

whoa man, you can already read parts of the book online. this shit has pulitzer written all over it. here's a line from a few pages in:

"Along with my breakin' skills, i was also a talented juggler."

first page:

Sleazy · « **Reply #817 on:** April 14, 2010, 06:35:58 AM »

i'm guessing that juggling is his slang for skating

Delusions of grandeur. Is this guy even for real? This whole thing has to be a hoax. Who is hiring him? He's really winning contests? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!? I'M SCARED AND CONFUSED!!!!

i was smoking meth and shooting heroin pretty badly a few years ago... even whored myself out when i was broke and needed a fix. one time i just finished shooting up in a kfc bathroom when all of a sudden there was this ...light. it was blinding at first but then he did a 360 boneless on flat and i noticed his 20 inch side pipe bulging from his pants and i knew it could only be doug. he told me to skate straight and buy ollie pop gum then pushed mongo into the shadows. i'm 3 years sober as of last week. thanks doug!!

There's like a million things wrong with that picture. It cannot be real.

My cat fucking shat herself I laughed so hard at that! Fucking hell.

How does he do it, im almost tempted to get his book. Is he actually making money off of all this? how did he get to this point? I mean I dont use drugs, am shit at skateboarding and sometimes push mongo if my right leg gets really tired....am I in a position to sell my soul to ollie pop bubble gum for a quick buck?

I was just watching Mosaic and couldn't help but notice Doug's name in the additional filming credits. So apparently he's an awesome filmer too.

When's Doug gonna tour Europe? The fans are anxious.

Galletly · « **Reply #833 on:** June 19, 2010, 03:23:30 PM »

Don't the locals humiliate this guy every time he rolls into town? It can't take much from a hometown hero to steal his thunder. Jesus, even if it's the Mike V stuff that's blowing the little kids' minds, loads of dudes have a boneless or two up their sleeve (so to speak).

Doug only performs at supervised events, churches and anywhere where brain washing is provided.
