There are "KZbin skateboarders" that the old guard likes to clown, but those guys don't care because they are still professional skateboarders who make much more money than most establishment pros. Phelps et al aren't the ones who get to decide if you have a career or not anymore. I knew a pro back in the day who lost his career because he made one comment about a retail chain in an interview.

@@kyle2441 Because SF houses mostly dont have yards and much smaller square space. I'm older now and I bought a house in the suburbs for more space. Im just a few minutes away and still go often. I dont need to live in the big city to party anymore and go to bars and clubs like all the younger people. just wanted less "city life" But you have a lot of hate in you. You see the city the way most outsiders see it, through the lens of the media and those that hate. But you should actually take a visit and stay out of downtown and the tenderloin and you will see a different perspective. People are super nice, theres no poop on the sidewalk and the restaurants are incredible. The views of the ocean and the across the bay to Marin is so beatuiful.

Sociology and history - there's a lot of it in skateboarding. They go, hand and hand, really. This video did a good job, illustration, how important a "spot" can be. It's a meeting place for skaters (trust me, there aren't enough "meeting places" for skaters, we'd come together more, if there were) and that becomes a place for skating to evolve or for a local scene to grow and evolve. People meet, friendships are formed, SKATE is played and you help each other, get "better", maybe like minds come together and start a company... That doesn't happen if there isn't a spot to go to and meet up. Not everyone has a skatepark and frankly, I grew up skating in the streets of Flint and Detroit, not skateparks, so those are ok places to meet up but it's not always a great place or even, an option. Please, never stop celebrating and sharing the history of all of the legendary skate spots (big and small, if they matter, it doesn't matter) because they will not last, forever, and neither will those who can tell the history of some of these places. Nobody is getting any younger and these new generations, rippers as they may be (which they are), need to know where these thing started from and where it found it's way, along the way.

I lived in SF 98-2002. Got to skate or at least go to all the legendary spots. Wallenberg, Ft. Miley, China Banks, Hubba, Pier 7, Black Rock. By the time I moved there, EMB was being renovated and not skateable, but there was still some brick areas left that were pretty rough. All those spots except Pier 7 and Black Rock were really rough to skate on. I grew up skating Freedom Plaza in DC, so I guess I had been spoiled by smooth marble.

It was the most insane concussive impact ive ever seen, and i sure hope those homies were good after that shit. Growing up and skating in the city was the best man.
