Steve Thatcher (Yeah, this is the editor's brother, but
that's not why we put him in) backside edger carve
at the Dish.
Someone once defined the act of skateboarding as throwing one's self out of
control and then attempting to pull it back in. Curtis Ick demonstrates the
theory at Brant's ramp in Berkeley, CA.
Hacked off coping creates a razor edge for Keith Mook at the full again
empty again Buena Pool In S.C., CA.
Then, you either make it or you don't.
Nothing else matters.
Even in today's world of complacent
skaters who are used to seeing multi-
named, twisting, flipping maneuvers
with one foot, a good full-tilt, burly
micro edger will draw a "hoot," whether
completely internal or from people
nearby If there happen to be any.
Good thing.
