Got my deck. Just need some grip tape, indys, reds, and slime balls, and I'm ready to roll.

You do soft wheels for shredding or hard for real riding?

Probably somewhere right in the middle these days, although I might go softer so I'm not tempted to be a complete jackass and injure myself. My knees are shot from how hard I rode during the 15 or so years when I was a kid. So I might steer away from slime balls.

It's been 20 years since I gave away my Jeff Kendall Atomic Man build. That was it for me, but these bitchass youngsters on my block need some lessons. They bail every fucking trick. Soft wimps are askeered to get a little scrape. I'm nowhere near the level of skill my mentor was -- no one is -- but I figure it could be fun.

Last board I had was a Blind David Bowie board that I rode on and off for years. I went towards mountain biking and climbing more.

My son really wants a skateboard, but he's a little too tiny and he still has no sense of self-preservation. I told him maybe next year the last time he asked. I want him to be close enough to the ground to rebound from falls and to still have some of that fearlessness to not bail. What I don't want is him blindly rolling through busy intersections.

He saw me open the deck yesterday morning and said, "No fair!"

It will probably wind up being his. Little fucker!

They get a lot of my good Pearl Jam stuff. Daughter has Cracker Jack and Miami Sperry; son has Transformers; they both get all the stickers.

The Catch is mine, though, damn it!

Figure it will be covered in grip tape anyway, so it doesn't really matter what color it is. I doubt that much thought went into it.
