your chance to get published in the Fine Print - september issue
As readers of CW know, the Fine Print is that massive block of text that surrounds the opening photo. It's usually devoted to my stream of consciousness...mad ravings of a skategeezer...those who read it tell me they like it - well, most of the time. Those who don't like it have kept quiet.
The time has come however to reach out to the silverfish community and get them to contribute. We are dealing with about 600 words...which means 12 folks can write 50 words.
So, create a brilliant rant in 50 words and post it here and I will choose the best 12.
It can be on anything, as long as it is skate related.
Feel free to comment on other's posts...they might wind up in there too!

Fluids in flux,
Earth vibrates in pulses and ripples,
Spinning alive with motion
We be but the few brave,
skating, surfing, silently, sync,
searching in the solitude
of the cement and asphalt
for ourselves.
no rebels,
we only embrace emptiness
running black obscure road rivers
we ride earth waves

skateboarding is a drug
you can lose your mind to it, easily.
Its so simple, yet, it can take your life over in less than a second
the first time you step on a board its either your addicted, or its not your thing
There is no in between. -Trygve

OK.
But seriously:
When a dog chases you on a bicycle you go faster to outrun the dog.
When a dog chases you on a skateboard you pull out a large-caliber piece and shoot the dog.
This doesn't mean skateboarders are ruthless cold-blooded killers.
It just means bicyclists are p u ssies who run away.

Skateboarding is still alive and well despite the many attempts on its life. By the likes of but not limited to Rocco trying TO sell it to corporate america The X games and tony hawks name on everything. Mullen ruining deck designs for twenty years and wheels being of plastic bolted to trucks that don't turn and balsa wood disposable Chinese LOGO deck manufacturers owned by NIKE and similair unscrupulous business types.
I don't mind I skate hills on antique goodies and I have enough decks to survive the next twenty years as well

Quentin Crisp once said that in life “you fall out of your mother's womb, you crawl across open country under fire, and drop into your grave.” I beg to differ. We all know that longboarders slide out of the womb, bomb the open country, and crash, not fall, into graves.
