So without getting into a whole bunch of ish right here, I've been legally binded (haha binded) to wear an ankle bracelet for about the past 4 months or so (a quarter of a year, gnarly). It sucks, lemme tell ya. It's a big clunky thing that doesn't ever come off. It hurts like a bastard and gets hella raw, literally to the bone. So when this first happened (I had no idea how long it would be on) I resolved to not skate. The anklet is worth about $3000 or so and I didn't want to fuck it up with a runaway-would-be shinner-torpedo-skateboard or some such shit, so I didn't skate. Then, eventually I fucking snapped. I had to skate in order to maintain what little scrap of sanity I had left and also because like so many rednecks before me have said (and I paraphrase here), if I don't ride my skateboard, then the terrorists have already won.
No, but seriously folks, skateboarding to me and so many countless others represents freedom among many other noble virtues, and as a skateboarder, American and citizen of the world it is my freedom, honor, privilege and duty to skate as frequently as I deem appropriate. America, Fuck Yeah!
And with that, from my video soapbox, I give you Scram Skating...

C. Hoff I included this one because I was wearing shorts that day, and because honestly I was pretty fucking stoked to get something on that wall, even if it was just a bitty scratch
--fuck dudes, i'm gonna go do some scram skating right now later---
