I remember as a kid going through the years past Thrasher magazines and dreaming of what might be under the Christmas Tree. But this year with the continued economic repression I went down to the local park and gave away all my used gear to the kids that live off Apache Blvd. (Local crack and prostitute street) The kids wiped all my cynicism away as they were super stoked and started skating the fun box with the new gear. One kid even learned 50-50s. One thing that has not changed in skateboarding is the fact that we take care of our own! And if left to our own devices long enough we build our own. And thats what Im thankful for this year. Thank you everyone that got involved in the creativity of Local DIY spots, Local shops, Local Zines and Local companies. Merry Christmas and Happy New year! Special Thanks To; SkateArchives.com and Thrasher Magazine for the Images.
