Georgia, teenagers climbed onto the attic stage to see their heros. One stood outside on a two foot wide, thirty foot tall balcony like Zac in a Sycamore tree. They didn’t care about the heat, the dust, the Sycamore tree. The kids looked beyond heat staring at their heros-the light of their youth when they were ten. Their heros had arrived-BAKER< SHAKE JUNT<DEATHWISH<KREW.The celebration is this: not only to be the bread (skate) but to be the bread that’s being baked. I saw the kids happy and sad–I saw them anxious and surprised. I saw Coby Silvers skate with Andrew Reynolds as Lizard King filmed it in front of our local art at the halfpipe. ”It’s hard to outgive a giver.” I said to Jim Greco as he gave his board to Noah whose board was taken. The passing down of the true skateboarding spirit that I loved coming to life again–the great to the small–a quiet uninterrupted passing of the torch.  Four hundred skaters are now ready to get baked. Thanks to everyone who helped make this event possible
