I think they're residing in Area 51, alive and well.  They love playing bingo with Elvis and Hoffa.

Shit, I still have an old school Dogtown deck.

Fuck me they're bigger than your boat

I remember once when I was about 15 sitting around the park we skated watching some 'old guy' (probably really in his early to mid 30s) skating the bowl on his own. Very determined, skating well but really trying and wearing tight jeans and a big baggy t shirt (really uncool looking at the time) and  we all just watched with our jaws open like we were watching BigFoot eating out of our bins.

It wasn't that he couldn't skate. He could.  It was that he was appearing to try to skate well. He was a 'try hard' to us.

I'll be honest I hated that guy. Mainly because he was honest.

In reality he probably didn't care about us. In reality we were the try hards.

I could be that guy now if I wanted. But I'd say I'm still too much of a try hard and that doesn't wash when you're 27.

Am I missing something here or were Di and Dodi on a giant double-skateboard when they were bumped off on the orders of Phil the Greek, Brian and Brenda...

Otherwise all this treacherous talk could well disgust me.
