Burn Out Or Fade Away?


Just when I think that the present day skateboarding culture is being driven by uneducated, interchangeable, stoner/boozer retards, and the companies that make money off of them, I found a couple of nuggets of sanity in the latest TransWorld skateboard magazine.

In two separate interviews, Mike Vallely, Christan Hosoi, and Jim Greco talk candidly about success, failure, redemption, drugs, and what skateboarding means to them.

For those of us who love skateboarding, and also have a few miles under our trucks, we understand that being a skateboarder is not what we are, but instead, part of who we are.
