- MENTORS...
- Those of us who like to play in the dirt, snow, water, and concrete jungle...
- Those of us who remember Bones Brigade and Animal Chin. we idolized Tony Hawk way before ESPN knew who he was, and still thought we'd sk8 better than him. Christ Airs, Acid Drops, No-Complies, Foot Plants, and 360 kickflips. Remember pool sk8ing, Remember The Turf! (R.I.P)
- Those of us who remember Craig Kelly and 'wood' Burton Shredders. we were stoked when "twin tip freestyle boards" were the newest buzz words. We were pissed back in the day when no "ski" slope gave a shit about snowboarders. (some wouldn't even let you ride their snow, you know who you are!!) But we never let that stop us... We'd sneak in after hours and hike just to throw a run by moonlight.
- Those of us who were front row, in the pit, at sweaty $5 rock n'roll shows, even if it was Green Day before they "found themselves". We are known for speeding by tweaking our eardrums on everything from Sunny Day Real Estate to Fu Manchu to The Rolling Stones to Pantera to Beastie Boys to JawBox to N.W.A.
- If it's got attitude and makes you wanna ride then Crank it Up!!!
- we say stupid shit like Stoked!, Sick!, Right On!, RAD!, Bitching!, and La!
- We have seen the past and can predict the future!! (don't laugh, we've done it before, haven't you been paying attention...what's 'cool' to you?)
- Most importantly we started doing it for all the right reasons, not for the girls and fashion statement. (although we may continue to do it for the women.) We do it for the brotherhood, the Fun, the Rush, the tingling sensation between your knees, and for a damn good reason to get in your face a yell Fuck You!!
- (oh yeh, and 'cause we're X-treme dude!)
