Matyred Vagabonds

To be a street skateboarder means you have to embrace the streets, to understand that even a simple curb can be used for endless hours of tricks, to not shout at the slightest scrape, and to accept dirt as if it was air, for you will be in contact with it, be it through the sweat that drips from your brow, or from the intimate contact with pavement that one most probably will have ever so often at the beginning stages of this baptism. In other words, you must learn to be like a vagabond.A person of the streets. And if you get good enough to be noticed, not just by a skate brand, a company, a crew, but the world, then you have gained the status many crave for. Use that status wisely, be original yet copy, be different yet alike, and you will reach Matyrdom. Like a legend, your name will be on the lips of every skate crew, every skateboarder, and every believer of flight. When you have reached that stage, you are not longer an ordinary vagabond. You'd have become a Matyred Vagabond.
