(Most) Skateboarders Aren’t Treating Their Bodies Like Garbage Cans Anymore
The story of skateboarders going from drunken, drug addled piles to vegan yogi’s over the past decade or so is one that has been told many times, but gets more true every day. It’s always the wild boys like Andrew Reynolds and Neen Williams that show the most remarkable transformation. This article from VICE goes in detail on how skateboarders used to be and how they treat themselves now.
Sample:
“When I first started going on skate tours it would blow my mind how we would be in a van for four hours with nonstop beers and joints and then show up at a spot and dudes would just immediately start hucking themselves down the biggest gaps or rails I’ve ever seen,” pro Walker Ryan told VICE. “And most of them would get tricks. It’s just this amazing thing that skaters are able to pull off these incredible feats with no warm-up. Athletically it just doesn’t make sense.”
