With the LA City Council’s recent attempt to crack down on hill-bombing skateboarders, the LA Times has been the repository for comments from general citizens who applaud the work of the council. Our favorite was from Edward Golden of Northridge, California.
Skateboarders should have been reeled in a long time ago. Their total lack of accountability should have been lawfully addressed from the start. . . They menace the citizenry and disturb the peace in residential neighborhoods and vandalize city property by relentlessly pounding curbs, streets and you-name-it in an endless pursuit of becoming the next Tony Hawk.
It’s never a real discussion until someone mentions Hitler Tony Hawk. Apparently, Golden is the real “caveman poet” of skateboarding.

“Hold everybody accountable? Ridiculous!”
W Edwards Deming
And do we know who Deming was Mr. Golden, sir???
Much more significant to this world than you Mr Edward Golden, sir. I doubt our kids who skate have much interest in becoming the next Tony Hawk – they just want to have fun.
“What ever happened to all the fun in the world?” F. Zappa
And do we know who F. Zappa was, Mr Golden, sir??
