Remember reading a Templeton interview years ago, were he said this was going to happen and talks about all the stuff with underage girls and dudes on tour. Anyone else remember this?
since forever skateboarding was about teenlust - homo erotic - small time criminals - because most of the skateboarders are stupid teenagers wild in the streets.
the only think i know about Jason is he a was the new baker kid couple of years ago - i have no picture of him skating in my head.
but that underage sex thing is nothing new in our skateboarding world... for Keelan as an grown up man - totally different story.
if you touch a little teen girl as a grown man then you do sexual abuse no matter of that girl.
but if you are a stupid teenager from the ghetto like jason you try hard and the girls around you too - so its easy to put a finger on him.
For both sides a bad start to life - they should have parents who protect them.
I don't grow up that bad - but i was not very protected by my parents - i start skating with 11 and was the whole weekend by myself
straying through the city... my success with girls startet with 14 and it didn't feel wrong if i make out with a teenage girl in my age.
But i have seen shit happen over all that years, also the big names - i remember a party Eric Kosten got hooked up by a girl - i need to say SHE was really going for it - but she was 14-max15 - i know her personal - i was 17 - and Eric is 2 years older then me so he was 19- which was strange to me... or Gershon Mosley - in Europe he was already in the late 20s - and was with a group of skatepark groupies that classic backpack girlies - i did know the age - but i know i was pretty ashamed by one of that girls because she came up to me on a party - with a backpack on - and ask my if i didn't remember her - we know each other from the skatepark... - i was surrounded on that party by grown man and woman and she looks like 12-14 - i was ashamed to speak with her because she looks so young.
Gershon was dating her friend over a couple of month!
in my teen / tween time i have seen some sketchy things -myself was looking for some real woman - not that skater girls - but there where
a couple of offers... i was skating regular a spot in some bad neighborhood - i was already 21-22 had some nice car and and cash - and
always some teenage girls show off - acting crazy - trying hard to get attention - sometimes it was difficult to focus on skating.
walking topless out of the bush - or offering blowjobs if we would drive them out of town.
after some time we stop skating that spot because of that girls- there where also some little gangsters - but after watching
us jumping the gap all dirty and bloody the lost interest to mess with us. we really stopped skating that spot because of that
aggressiv sexual teen girls.
but now 20 years later if come the skatepark - i got checked out by the mothers - "hey mister, maybe you can show my son to do it right..."
