Lord of the Fruit Boots



dear makers of the Dog Brothers of Z Town,
I saw the first documentary, how your upper-class suburban boredom brought about skateboarding from surfing. Maybe I saw the follow-up-- Gleaming the Tube, or Follow the Liquid, the one with all the footage and stills set to hip music. But the Stacy Peralta story?! Please cut it out after this.

My tweens into twenties were spent trying to demystify skateboarders.

Dear Tweeners,
Don't fall victim to the crush on "a boy who is doing something I can watch" syndrome, like the girls in this picture.

Sincerely,
SkateBetty Wisenstein
