I've been reading Thrasher magazine for over 30 years (I love your tattoo, by the way). As a kid it was a place to not only see sick photos and learn about great skaters, but also a place to find out about punk rock, crazy art, and the whole skater way of life. I've seen boards go from skinny little seventies things to big, clunky things with no noses in the eighties, to the modern deck and the down hill boards. I love skating and skater culture and I still skate, though I have to take it easy now, I don't get up as easy as I used to- haha. I like to ride mini half pipes and small bowls and really enjoy lip tricks, there is nothing as satisfying as a nice long 50/50 grind. But the best thing is, I have passed this culture on to my 9 year old son. We live in the middle of the woods and have to drive to go skate, so he's not like some of the 9 year olds I see at the park who skate every day and are better than I ever was or hoped to even be, but we have fun. He also loves punk rock music, which to me, is a part of the whole culture. That's awesome you are sponsored. Post some pictures, bro!
