Shawn is actually dragging me out tonight...
Comply: NO COMPLY
Remember back in those halcyon summer days, when kids with spike-swoop haircuts would sulk over to your house on their skateboards, kick-flipping the whole way, bangs covering everyone’s pot-reddened eyes, just to bask in your glory as Thrasher’s newly claimed “heir to the Hosoi throne”? Man, those were the days. The chicks, the sponsorships, the Jimmy Z woody, all the righteous goodness. Remember that?
No?
Of course not. That's probably because like the rest of us, you sucked massive balls on a board and have scars on your face to prove it. Speaking of proving things (and brilliant transitions!), it’s high time you broke out your gnawed-up Natas and showed today’s newschoolers how the Bones Brigade really found Animal Chin: embarrassed by your sick-sh*t ramp skills.
Tonight at Beauty Bar, you’ll get the opportunity to bust out your old moves, and reclaim a piece of treasured nostalgia or whatever it is that working folks try to reclaim when they get back out on a chipped board and wreck the universe. Or crack their pelvis.
Local skate suppliers NO COMPLY (owned by local skate pros Elias and Simon Bingham, and Jake Nunn) are teaming up with Adidas, Krew Clothing, Steaz, and musicians to bring you Team No Comply riding ramps, music for your ears, kickassness, more ramps, and then some ramps for you to bust your sweet ass on (if you are willing to sign a safety waiver, because you know what’ll happen). So there’ll be professionals skating, then some dudes from around the way skating, then perhaps YOU doing some skating, all in an environment of free-flowing music and booze. And Adidas.
Psychotropic DJs will be spinning between live music sets by Julian Decided and The Tunnels. Local photog legend Courtney Chavanell will be taking portraits so you’ll remember your moment of glory forever.
Yabble-mutherf*ckin’-dabble.
