It sure wasn't the first thing. Pushing down the sidewalk on a clay or steel-
wheeled board was probably the first thing. It probably wasn't the second thing
either. Cranking tight frontside and backside low-rotational-butt an inch off the
ground, 's' turns down a smooth downhill side street with your body leaning into
the hill almost parallel with the street was, most probably, the second thing. The
properties of the urethane wheel provided traction, as well as speed. With the
advent of these qualities, the doors opened wider, leading toward another terrain.
BANKS. In the mid-to-late seventies, there were the balls-out sessions going
down in Hawaii at Wallos. BANKS. Anarchy sessions were occuring at several in-
clined locales with names like: Avo-bowl, the Reservoir, the Toilet Bowl, Uvas
Reservoir, P.B. Banks, Vista Bowl, the Ditch, along with numerous others.
BANKS. Embankments, The Incline, The Angled Slope, Ditches, Storm Drains,
Banked Loading Docks. BANKS. Each with their own personalities and evils.
Some, equipped with the heavy-duty gnarly transitions, used to snap your
baseplates constantly (a savvy skater kept a stock of baseplates for this). There's
the relatively mild transitions and the smooth trannys. Often, the riding surfaces
are tough, harsh-grit, skin-removing material. This factor aroused uncommon
bravery in the early primitive equipment days, giving that extra-added incentive
to stay on, or die. BANKS. Sometimes there were obstacles in the wrong, making
for serious line-drawing with no backing out.
BANKS, are gyration forevers in a banked ditch that disappears into the
horizon, giving you a feeling of wanderlust, alone against the terrain, willing your
soul to your mind's command. BANKS, are 'speed-line' forevers with 50-50 infini-
ty grinds, sweeping lip-slides, twenty-foot four-wheel power drifters, weaving
through the holes in the flat bottom, hopping the crack before powering through
the transition that severed your buddy's truck-hangar from the baseplate and sent
him to the hospital with a separated shoulder because he miscalculated his line
by just a little bit. You don't make the same mistake because your line is all
you're thinking about, next to the rushing tingle of freedom that cradles your ex-
istence. BANKS, where you loosen your trucks so you can carve, grind and con-
trol the fully horizontal frontside Bertleman with just the rough outside edge of
your front foot and the worn inside edge of your back foot. Loose, because you're
gonna come down off of that embankment, make the tight backside bottom turn,
your wheels chirping, begging to break loose and shoot back up the same wall
towards the bush hanging over the lip, to shoot an all-tucked botanical tube ride
as the mind sifts life's confusions.
BANKS. Merciless.
BANKS. Heaven.
BANKS. Where the wild things are.
