That said, I know EXACTLY what Pops is saying. I had plenty of "skateboard" friends when i was 14-15 years old and nowadays I couldnt even imagine hanging with them. We were all just SO different. But when there is only like 5-15 kids that skate in the towns nearby, you make due and latch onto each with the bridge that is skateboarding.
Of course we'd be friendly now, but they just wouldnt be people id want to hang with everyday again.
This has happened to me a few times over the years, too. You start to skate with someone every day for some reason, maybe your schedules are the same, you dig the same spots, you just click. Then you just drift apart at some point, nothing dramatic happens but you just realize that at the end of the day the only thing you had in common was skating. And there's nothing wrong with that, it just happens, that's life. I see one of those dudes around sometimes and we say what's up but we have nothing in common except that we shared some good times skating ten or 15 years ago.
I love these episodes, so good on many levels.
Its so easy to loose touch with people. It's part of life. I'm at a point in my life of reaching back out to people that I went to highschool with that I haven't spoken to in years. But I think as an adult you gotta succeed some way in life and maybe the skaters you used to skate with, you just saw your self not going in the same direction as them, and that seems to me whats going on here, and skaters should respect eachothers artistic expression, aka don't be hater. I'm starting to feel old facing 27 this year, and as I continue skating I definetly am way more patient of other styles of skating compared to when I was SIXTEEN in '98. Fucking shit man, 2 things about this shit, imo
Brian needs to grow up
Anthony should've had a few more techer tricks in his part
