I first saw you with your Ridiculousness and have been a fan. Now I saw your Fantasy Factory reruns and am captivated with your irrationality. As an OLD skateboarder, who never heard of you before these shows, I respect your skating abilities.You see, I learned to "Bum Board" (before Jan and Dean made it famous with :Sidewalk Surfing") at 22nd Street, Hermosa, in 1957, when we saw a guy go by on a 4ft. 2 by 4, with metal clip on skates used as the trucks. I then built our own designed boards, until I was drafted for Vietnam. But when I returned from there, I found that "Bones" had came out with Urethane, which we thought were anti-religious (they wouldn't side-slide like metal). Now, of course, my age and bodily defects preclude me from doing what the younger generation does. But, you ate so fun to watch. Oh, I'm 73.
