When I was a rebellious teenager in the late 1980’s, I did some stuff of questionable legality. No, let me rephrase that - I did a bunch of stupid stuff and got into a bunch of trouble. Trouble is funny, especially in hindsight? Indeed. Starting with working at my favorite skate shop and managing the shop’s sposored skater team, concluding with a few of the misadventures I had with my friend and pro skater Gator (yes, THAT Gator). This episode could be a road map of what NOT to do if you are looking to avoid run-ins with the law. Call this episode a cautionary tale. I called it fun. This episode also features a brief interview with Kevin Seconds (done via e-mail and read by me), plus a few 7 Seconds songs from the 80’s as an added bonus. Here are some links for Mr. Kevin Seconds and all the rad stuff he does -

Gator in VC Pool, I think? Transworld Skateboarding of the late 1980’s.
THE Rock Socks stickers. They were everywhere in those days.
I was wearing a reggae shirt. Someone should’ve punched me.
Taken at Derby Park in Santa Cruz, CA 1987/1988?
Trying really, really hard to break my fingers here.
