The first skateboarders who crystalized the concept of a “skate trip” must have known they stumbled onto gold. The hack of all hacks. Imagine a crew of friends bound together by playing basketball telling their girlfriends, boyfriends, spouses and bosses that they’re hopping on a plane to play basketball on this different court they reallllly wanna play on. How’s that gonna go?
But a crew of skateboarders?!
“Baby, it’s a SKATE TRIP!”
Imagine that same hypothetical crew of ballin’ ass friends coming back with highlights from their games filmed on a camera released in 1995 and edited to Gloria Estefan as justification for their time off?
But skaters? It seems that society has given us infinite leeway in that regard, provided that we come back with proof in the form on an edit.
