time served, we got the pool dried out and were too tired to really get in on the waves. needless to say, that started a long lasting friendship between him and i.
im continually impressed with with quite a few things about hoss. first and foremost, what started as only skating permission pools quickly turned to jumping fences with us,,, or more like us with him... even at the young age of 50 years old, hes not only keeping up, but more like surpassing everyone else. skating way into the darkness after sun down and always, i mean always, keeping his back foot in place... he skates unlike anyone else ive ever seen and i attribute it to him skating the dead cat pool in phoenix in 75... see. hes been skating pools as long as anyone and has photos and footage to prove it...
so this post, is and ode to hoss rogers, father, husband, homeowner, skateboarder silver smith and friend... heres a link to his website to see his work.
HOSS ROGERS SILVERSMITH
and heres a photo of his just yesterday somewhere deep in west phoenix..so next time you say or think, "im too old to skate" at all.. crawl back into the hole youre living and continue to lose at life...
hoss this is for you my friend... ripping...
