I have been rather interested in skateboarding lately, but not the sport aspect of it; I'm interested in the athletes desires to push their limits, the sheer grimy-ness of it, and its strong stance in pop culture. Lords of Dogtown has to be one of my favorite movies, not just because Emile Hirsch aka Jay Adams is fucking hot as hell, but because the boys are so dirty and free spirited, and they love it. The whole skateboarding culture in California in the summers of the 60's was so relaxed and boys and girls tried to show their mad skillz by creating new tricks that seemed to defy limits. Anyway, this guy Geoff Rowley is an insane skater and up there with the best of them. He is by far one of my favorite skaters because he has such dedication that's more than clear in his hard work and constant practice sesh's. It doesn't hurt that his name is Geoff either because anybody who knows me knows that I like the name. . . . okay, love the name.
