This is exactly what I was thinking. Also, why does the history of skateboarding have to be included into every single article on skateboarding?

That felt more like an essay written by a middle-schooler about skate-stoppers.

Skateboarding was invented in the 70s.
Ledges got skated.
Skate stoppers turned into fish.

At least now I know that if I happen to notice curious objects on the side of concrete blocks I can consult the wikipedia article on skateboarding and get my shit published in the NYT.

You either die a hero or live long enough to watch yourself become the Berra.

From the article:
"Skate-stoppers come in many styles: brackets, knobs and clips. The creatures, cast in bronze by Ronnie Frostad, were installed in 2002. Cobblestone and grass also deter, though some skaters jump those surfaces. .."

I laughed audibly when I read this.

i was wondering this. we're all just a bunch of hubba smoking vandals that break into people's backyards & destroy their pools with our skateboards right?

It's easier to say this than to have to explain what an ollie is to people, which would probably be equally painful/hilarious to read.
