Go Skateboarding Day in Ohio looked like a lot of fun. Riding in the back of pickup trucks and blowing up fireworks may be illegal here in California, but in good old Ohio they wouldn’t have it any other way. As you watch this video, you may be wondering what Norwegian Black Metal has to do with Go Skateboarding Day in Ohio. That’s good, cause so am I. Video courtesy of Erik Bragg.

Jason is the co-owner of Stereo/rider and in currently starring in the hit TV series “My name is Earl”. Yes, he still gets down on the stunt wood, while being crazy busy with his other ventures. Lee is someone I’ve always looked up to. He’s a skater that has been creatively successful, instead of just burning out on drugs like most. At 15 me and my skate posse attacked LA skate spots and tried to grow mutten chops after watching this part in Video Days. Check it out and do the same!

Ray Barbee! One of the nicest guys I know! The same guy who almost single handedly help the skate scene transition from neon crap/spandex to wearing jeans and ball caps! At least in my little scene. At the time the runs Ray was doing and all the no complys was out of this world. I’ve attached a little You Tube video of his 1989 part in Powell’s “Ban This”. Come check out Ray grooving with his new band at the Santa Monica Active’s WeActive! event this Saturday May 17th 2-4pm. The rest of the WESC crew will be there signing autographs.
