We grew up in the Golden Age of Skateboarding; The Bones Brigade/Animal Chin Era. A time when skate shops had demos and you could see the legends of skateboarding at your local park or shop. We were children of the 70's and 80's and skateboarding was our passion. No curb, mini ramp, or launch ramp was safe. We would stay out until the street lights came on skating, talking skating, and loving everything about skating and the culture. Then we grew up and life/school/work/family/responsibility took a front seat. Skateboarding was replaced by school and jobs and bills and diapers and soon became another thing we "used to do as a kid". We are all in our mid-30's and 40's and our kids are reaching the age where skateboarding is possible. We always talked about "getting back out there" but never could find (or justify to our wives) the time. Our kids provided the perfect opportunity to join them and learn with them. Sure, our kids are into it but not nearly to the level we are. Our newly rekindled passion to learn to skate and relive our love for the culture drives us. We meet every weekend and make skate park pilgrimages and try not to get too hurt for the next work day. This page was created to follow those of us that have a love for skateboarding and have realized we are never to old to get back out there and have a blast. Join us on the journey will you?

#Repost @hallofmeat ・・・ Skating is a Journey. Thrasher ran this feature in the Sept 2010 mag and we still get asked about it to this day. So, we reformatted it from print and breathed new life into it. Story and animation by @accreagan / Art by @barfcomics Song by Mastodon “Asleep In The Deep” The Journey: “Give this a try, kid. You’ll have a hell of a ride. Stick with it to the end, and I promise I’ll see you again. There’s a reward that awaits you. Be warned: you shall encounter many dangers on your journey… / …the Pad Nasties of Daycareia try to smother and suffocate you. / …couch slugs devour all your energy. / …the skate proofed petrified forest has not a single spot and you will feel like quitting. But carry on! / …beware the enticements of the Hubba monster. / …next comes the Flat Bank of Doom. Flip-To-Fakie ghouls will launch their devices in an attack. Stay alert. / …poorly mixed cement has created a DIY death trap. Tread lightly. / …you must navigate through hard-partying wayward youth. / ...the swamps of internet shit-talkers spew hateful bile. Heed them not. / …media hordes feast on your abilities. / …as reptilian agents whisper promises. / …relationships, employment, and the ravages of age may end your quest. / …toxic fumes of “I Used To Skate” creeps may bore you to death. / …and when the end is near, as I promised, we shall meet again. / …it is only at that point when the reward will reveal itself. / …as having been the journey all along." #thankyouskateboarding
