Jason Dill continues musing on SF, learning how to do tricks, and the respect, style, and art of skateboarding. Some words inspiring to any creative.
It’s no surprise skateboarding has made a big impact on my youth, just like every Californian. Their attitude, creativity, and philosophy have bred and meshed together with so many subcultures because by definition skateboarding is an act, not a trend, genre or clique.

Jason Dill spills some words on The Gonz, the diversity in skateboarding, and the originality that breeds from it. Enjoy.

Ed has always been an inspiration, I think for all the generations of skateboarders since him. And now, artists as well. Here’s one from a year ago uploaded by Emerica Europe.
