Ocean Howell is a legend. He has been a pro and continued his education to receive a Ph.D in architectural history at Berkeley. His words are wise. Scott Kip put this up on SkateNerd. From the article:
“Tony acknowledged that this was all a misrepresentation but argued it would benefit skateboarding. I couldn’t have disagreed more. But Tony owned a business and had a family that he had struggled to support during the slow years. I understood his embrace of the new attention, but these contests gave me the creeps.”
contest announcers give me the kreeps.flash n roll, brother.
this dude speaks some deep shit about architecture, phenomonology, skateboarding and society.
Watch his part in the Birdhouse video..”Untitled”….amazing.
