Ha! Lappers! I remember these from the 80s. Before I learned to ollie, if you had a lapper, you could just lift your front wheels up onto the curb and the lapper would magically get your back truck up. What I remember being fun were copers....cutting out some PVC pipe, covering your trucks and you would grind for miles. It was so fun but in a sense cheating...you didn't get that nice metal on concrete grind sound effect with a coper.
“I don’t want to see a Frito’s commercial with a skateboarder on it. It’s not in the spirit of skateboarding. We’re not supposed to be in the limelight. We’re supposed to be the scuttlebutt. We’re not supposed to be heroes. We’re supposed to be zeroes. If we look good, we look bad.”
