A Skateboarding Zine

Fuck your phone, and TicTok, and FB, and IG

Discontent Rant #1

You heard me. Fuck all that shit.

Fuck your social media. Fuck the money people who have tried to steal skateboarding. Fuck the marketing people who want you to be a jock. Fuck the "social media" managers and AI content bots who just want you to keep on scrolling and clicking like some goddamned mouse in lab.

Fuck the business scumbags who only see you as a consumer. You are not a fucking consumer or "user". You're a goddamned human being and you're a goddamned skateboarder!

Fuck your favorite pro skateboarder. They don't matter. What matters is you getting on that board and riding.

Are you young? Old? Fat? Skinny? Male? Female? Other? It matters not. Just ride that skateboard. That's what matters.

Do you have a skatepark where you ride? Do you ride in the street? A rough and shitty parking lot? A curb? A ditch. A patch of flat ground?

ALL GOOD. JUST RIDE.
