hello no one who's reading this blog... i hope one day to have a few hits... but let's get the bs out of the way...
my name's ben, i live in the LA area with my baby's momma and lil boy, used to reside in VA, in the DC metro area, but boot scoot and boogied out to the westcoast to be none other than famous baby! but seriously, some of you probably know me... and the rest of you soon will...
constant internet lurker, full time dad, constant hater, and 100% skater, that's me, and while half of us hide behind screennames and talk smack on rumor forums, and the other half only talk sh!t with our homies, i'm bringing uncut, judgemental, and honest talk about what i think of some stuff going on in skateboarding, and you're right, i might just be hiding behind this blog post, but if you really need to get at me, i'll let you...
think about it, we all watch videos, right? so when was the last time you saw a magazine give a skate vid a bad review? are all skate videos that good? c'mon now, we all know that certain videos suck, but who's gonna put it out there like that?
and when was the last time you saw someone really talk about how they feel about skater XYZ? with the exception of clyde singleton and dave carnie (two of the realest dudes holding it down for honest talk in skateboarding) everyone else is quick to bite tongue about some sell out un-original stock trick reality tv show skater...
but who am i to crown myself as an honest critic of skateboarding? you're right, i'm nobody. a average skater who barely has time for the damn thing anymore, a dude who will never be sponsored or do half a trick in any video... but i love skating, I F#CKING LOVE THIS $HIT! it's the only thing i've kept constant for over half my life, and no matter what, it's something i can always go to, even if it's just for five minutes...
so what can we expect from this lil blog of mine...
probably some talk about this guy... this guy...
and crap like this...
so stay posted.. hope you guys like, or hate... and i'll be around...
ben...
