Skate Warrior 1992, 1999, 2020
Here's a shower thought I recently had. I was massively into skateboarding in the second half of my teenage years, up until I was 20-21 give or take. And while I was the typical computer nerd who wrote cli programs to solve his math homework, only recently I saw a potential connection between the two activities: street skateboarding(the post 1980's ramps and bowls) has a fundamental and striking similarity with hacking. When I say "hacking", I'm referring to the definition of the term:<p>In both cases people use things in which they were not meant to be used and in some instances some bizarre, strange, odd, ridiculous or completely outrageous results are born. And sometimes absolutely beautiful and mind boggling. Sure, you often end up misjudging your abilities or what is even realistically possible but the fundamental idea is completely valid for both activities. Now that I think about it, I kind of miss those endless summer nights of jumping over fences to get into some school's yard when it was raining outside and carrying and stacking benches and tables over one another and whatnot...<p>R.I.P. Steve.<p>Edit: Oddly enough, last year I managed to get my hands on this[1] and it immediately became a decorative element. The picture on the deck itself is a perfect representation of what I just said I think.<p>[1] <a href="https://i.imgur.com/OoeVEF6.png" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/OoeVEF6.png</a>
