Let freedom ride

Thrasher Magazine, July, 2004

4TH OF JULY--vacation day, sun, skating, food, and watching your friends run for their lives from a bottle rocket onslaught. "Incoming!" Most skaters associate England with Rowley, Penny and rough streets. But 230 years ago (an eyeblink in world history) some free-thinking fellows risked it all and barely beat the Redcoats so we could enjoy the finer and gnarlier things in life.

These guys could not have foreseen skateboarding, but you know they would have been down--the movement, the freedom, the independence. No sappy star-spangled salute here. Just a reminder to let freedom ride.
