"In 1980 I was 6 years old, and my dad brought home this cassette tape. My brother and I used to listen to it wearing our big white Pioneer™ studio headphones, volume set to 10. I haven't been the same since, I always needed my music faster, louder, more insane than the last thing, and that's why I hate all the music you like. Thanks Dad!"

Instagram: Slappy 3...

Original screen grab from iPhone4 video

Artsy Instagram manipuation

So, this is the 3rd and final slappy that I captured on video using mai white, non S, iPhone4.

It was a magical dei of bringing a dilapidated, neglected, crusty yellow curb back to life without the aid of petroleum based byproducts. Just the right speed, the right lean, and the right trucks.

So, last sunday, March 25th, 2012 I was supposed to meet up to skate with Marfa from Wellborn Clothing and some other random dewdz. They were waiting around for one moar guy to show up so I decided to park, go on a the hunt for a virgin slappy curb, and wait for them.
I had no wax, no broom, and only the loose Indys that god [Fausto] intended for just such an adventure.
These are mai pictures of that adventure...

So, this is mai friend Joey, he hurt his foot 7 months ago and hasn't skated the whole time. Okay, maybe twice, but that was just to roll around to get rid of the withdrawal symptoms.

Skateboarding is like a drug in that sense.

He's just been playing a lot moar guitar, working to keep occupied, and fill the no skate void.

We planned this big group to go to Cream City todei to, kind of, celebrate his return to skateboarding.

Wouldn't you do the same for you friend?

Welcome Back, Joey.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "20 Eyes" by Misfits from the album "Walk Among Us" released in 1982.
