After four years without setting foot on a board, I zapped it was one of the coolest things in the world. For a long time skateboarding had lost its nobility probably because of the mass media, rich kids, small poufs, skate brands herself who wanted to make money, it had become a fashionable dress. Everyone wore enormous pairs of Globe, so ugly that they looked like tanks. Everyone listened to crappy punk melodic and music industry suspected the money was done with a tube called atrocious "sk8ter boy". Agony, agony. And then one day the little rich and small poufs have turned rock n'roll, and it is replaced by skinny jeans and baggy soup with another soup. And whoever said love skateboarding was regarded as a nerdy and good for him.
Years 90-2000 were perversion skate, the guys began to invent tricks (figures) for ultra balèze grandstanding kind of cheerleaders on the bench. People have become idiots. Basically you were not technical, not undermined et t'avais un matos perave : t'étais naze!
La belle époque du skate, c'était celle de Natas Kaupas, des Z Boys et bien sur de Marty dans Retour vers le Futur. L'époque où c'était juste cool. Oui cool, mais si les graffitis "Locals Only" fleurissaient sur les palissades et que les bagarres entre bandes alimentaient les faits-divers des journaux, c'était super rock n'roll! D'ailleurs si tu tombes sur le documentaire "Dogtown and Z boys" tu verras la genèse du skate en images. C'est assez dingue, les planches sont rudimentaires : le bois c'est du vulgaire contre-plaqué, et on dirait même que les trucks ont été piqués sur des patins à roulettes. Les mecs se repeignent banana between two slides before they go surfing at Venice Beach, with the bottom of the atmosphere Straitjackets.
Mademoiselle Riposte!
