this is stupid, everything in north

live under was designed for us to spend
spend spend. failure to recognize this
is just plain ignorance. longboard
companies arent out to help you bro
around events, or lift poor kids out of
the ghetto. they're there to turn
longboards into the money machine
skateboarding was during the 90's, and
its heading that way, so suck it up
sweetheart. thats life, dont like it,
wear paper bags and move into a cave.

hurting my head while i have my morning
coffee.

try living and skating in Aus, everything is twice the price or more and our dollar is worth more, I have bigzigs that I have been riding almost every day for over a year because its so expensive to replace them.
