BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE WITH DARYL ANGEL
A small child with a book of matches is a happy child indeed. When you're young, and blessed with innocent stupidity, the flicker of a flame devouring a small pile of brush is magical. Burning hot and leaving nothing but ashes behind, fire is a catalyst that can turn even the most boring Summer afternoon into a day you'll remember for the rest of your life. Of course, any kid with a halfway responsible parent knows that playing with fire is a big no- no, but one is never too young to learn life's most important lesson: if something is taboo, it must be fun.

What type of images seep into your mind when you envision the city of Oakland?
It is not my intention in writing this piece to insert sensationalistic stories of the multi-generational quest to achieve ghetto fabulous stardom and then to be crowned with the title of the biggest baller within Oakland city limits. The “Town,” as it is lovingly referred to by its residents is much more than high homicide rates, hyphy movements, MC Hammer, and of course the Raider Nation.

IT would be easy to imagine the life of a skate team manager a glamorous one. In theory, you’d befriend the world’s best skateboarders while parading them around the world to the delight of the legions of skate fans. Ask a few TM’s though and you will find, their job is often not very glamorous at all. In many cases the skate team manager is nothing more than a glorified nanny. The TM’s role is to deal with an assortment of issues that have absolutely nothing to do with skateboarding. The list of problems is a long one, Ams having nervous breakdowns, destroyed hotel rooms, drunken retardedness, stinky vans, primadona pros, unwanted pregnancies, vomit, emergency room trips, etcetera, etcetera. Next time you see a TM give’em a big ol’ hug, and tell him you appreciate all that he does.
