heh, sounds like a good enough reason not to like him. the younger kids out here vouch for him [late 20s, early 30s] but what you said kinda cancels that out.
i spit on richie bonnevie once cause he housed shotgun from me and gloated about it. he was too young for me to sock is why i did it, he just turned 30 the other day but at one time he was maybe 15 to my 23.
not a boston skater but tim powers who usedta run TRUE EAST is rad. i'm forever indebted to him cause he taught me wallrides and once i got broken up w/ by my wife at yellowstone so i drank my way to detroit and back here. i'm talking shit to some scenester fucks at the bar and when i get back from the bathroom my skate has been stolen!
the friend of the thieves is still there and i ain't seen tim in yrs, right? i tell him what happened w/ my ex, the stolen skateboard, my whole life is shit and he starts choking the remaining scenester kid.
'nah, tim! i would do that if he was culpable.'
so he peels off $90 and hands it to me 'cool, i got the next round.'
'no. it's for a skateboard.'
'word, appreciate ya tim!'
haven't seen him since but i heard he returned to Vincent's and punked the guilty parties and got his money back.
