Really now, why have we done and forgotten our brothers in the skate boarding world. I read an article in powder magazine about snowboarding giving rise to the train park which gave rise to the Jibbers, which gave a resurgence to skiing, and there for saved skiing. The only problem is no mention of skate boarding starting it all is made. Street skaters were the o.g., grinding the rails, jumping street gaps, tossing mad tricks, it all started with skate boarding. Hell, with out skate boarding there would be no snowboarding, and no jibbers for that matter. I am not saying I know a lot about skate boarding, I like to do it and I think skaters are awesome athletes. I think they should get the credint they deserve. We should all take a moment to remember the hard core, cement bros on trucks and wheels who gave props to us on the slopes. Word.
