"God Bless all the skaters that have the balls to skateboard."
A direct quote from a hobo in one of the 411 videos...
Eric Koston: im going to kill myself on this 360 flip to noseblunt down this 10 stair.
Rick Mcrank: at least you have the balls to try it.

The mortal enemy of the rollerblader, scooter fag and rent-a-cop. Known to hunt in packs the vicious skaters will threaten and attack if provoked. Sharing a common enemy with the BMXers these groups have been known to hunt together however it is common to see skaters and BMXers in conflict over there shared habitat.

The good ol' plank o' wood. A skateboard is NOT a toy; it's a part of your fucking life, bro. Cruise to school, bomb hills, haul ass, eat shit, and learn a thing or two from and on your board. A skateboard has always been there. Get on and forget all the bullshit; enjoy the ride. You CANNOT use a skateboard as a fashion sense; if you do, you're a shithead. Thrash everything in sight and ride until you die.
Fuck doing homework. I have my skateboard.
Fuck doing drugs. I have my skateboard.
Fuck all this bullshit. I have my skateboard.

Is a misunderstood artform/sport that is often critisized by the mainstream who do not grasp the concept. This is mainly due to the fact that there are no uniforms, rules, times etc. to clearly define the activity. Most people do not even understand how skaters 'ollie' their decks, and true to human nature they criticise what they cannot comprehend.
It is without a doubt far more skillful, creative and extreme than any team sport i can think of - and can only be compared to a select few of other sports/artforms such as surfing, snowboarding, even BMX.
Anyone can perform the most basic requirement of football - ie. kicking a stupid ball (or catching one).
Yet only a small minority of people will ever manage to perform the most basic requirement of skateboarding. ie. the 'ollie'. (Tip: its all about physics)
Due to the sports misconception, the real riders are mostly those who feel ill-at-ease with our conservative society, and feel the need to express themselves accordingly. This can admittedly result in the use of public property that is different to its intended purpose..
However, the greedy corporate fat cats have realised that there is potential cash in bottling this so-called teen-angst. As a result we have a whole pop-culture full of posers, companies, music groups and even shredders whose prime interest is gaining publicity, money and mainstream approval.
The soul riders are those individuals you will see milling around street corners, in dark crevices of the cityscape, wary of beefed-up security, all battle-scarred and torn, yet somewhat proud of our victimised counter-culture..
...Skateboarding is NOT: Tony Hawk games; World Industry clothing; Avril Laviegne; drug-using space-cadets.
...Skateboarding is: the underground; the artform; the family; the expression; the knocks and falls; the persistence; the reward...
I was skateboarding down the street before a cop pulled over and said "you cant ride on the street". So i skated down the path and i copped scowling stares from every direction - so i went down to the industrial estate and was confronted by a steroid wank of a security guard.
so i said 'fuck it' i'l just skate in your faces - just try and catch me..
