When We Was Rad:
Skateboard History from UK Vintage Magazine

Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness (Part 4)


Life Liberty and Pursuit of Skateboarding

Alex Moul and Pete Dosset feature here, along with an indoor wooden bowl from Birmingham. (Might be wrong about Birmingham.)

The truth is skateboard magazines have always talked a kind of crap. They’ve talked this kind of crap because it’s always been more fun and that was skateboarding’s bottom line. Now more than ever, fun should be paramount.
Worldly discussions these days seem to be concentrating on words like ‘freedom’ and ‘democratisation’, but what are these words without fun? They’re what skateboarding is without it: another soul-less slug.

  1. Birmingham Wheels! That’s right. Thanks. How long was it there for, I wonder? I only ever went to the bowl once (though I did enough stuff at Wheels over the years — cold or what).
