from Mike V.Skateboarding.Is it a sport, an art form, a lifestyle? How can we describe or define it? Must we?It seems to me the entire thing has become so fragmented and confused, that there are so many divisions and versions and aversions within the entire skateboard world that pinning down one description, one definition is near to impossible. I've lived the lifestyle, I've participated in the sport and I've known and promoted the art form but to fully understand skateboarding at it's core is to simply call it and understand it as Skateboarding.There is nothing else like it in the world. Comparison to anything else cheapens it. No definition is capable of communicating it. There is only one word appropriate, all encompassing enough to articulate it: Skateboarding.Using the word Skateboarding is the only way, if we must, to describe or define Skateboarding. And unless you've lived it, breathed and bled it, you can't understand or know it.My skateboarding has grown and evolved through the years to be completely free of any and all categories, divisions, definitions and styles. It is no longer a thing that has a past or future; it lives in the moment. I have severed all ties and allegiances and no longer try to bottle or label my skateboarding in anyway. I don't even really feel the need to call it skateboarding. For me, it is just expression in action. A spontaneous action that lives in the moment that it takes place. Every movement, every articulation is free to be what it is.You can call it "Old School," you can label and define it so that it does not threaten you but it is impervious to any attack because it is totally free and open and thus it can not be measured or restrained. It lives within no timeframe or window, it is not a thing of the future or of the past, it is right here, right now, like the flight of the eagle.There are no rules, there is no right or wrong about it. Those who subscribe to any type of conditioning or tradition are merely followers and imitators. Skateboarding should flow through us uninhibited, unrestrained, without thought or prejudice. It is an expression of the self.-- Mike V
