Most would call it
senseless vandalism, but
loafed curbs, dirty buildings,
worked planter boxes and broken
benches are true things of
beauty. Concrete, wood, rock,
or anything in the path is worthy
of a skater's wrath. Each notch
is evidence of endurance and deter
mination, a message to those
who would try and deter us. Each
scuff is a marking of territory as
surely as dog piss on a fire hydrant.
A grind mark is trivial when seen as a
single scrape but, over time, streams
become canyons.
