Lately my external hard drive has taken on the form of a stumbling drunk fool, vomiting up chunks of footage and coating the streets of cyberspace with bile and filth. All of this is perfectly fine, because after all, what is else is the internet good for?
In the edit I have created here for all of you loyal Cloggers I attempt to juxtapose the act of skating inside the confines of a skatepark with that of shredding in the mean streets. I also bring into view strange and disturbing elements of life outside the realm of skating. All of these images have been set to a Rolling Stones songs whose meaning has always been a mystery to me. The question, "have you seen your mother baby, standing in the shadows," confuses me to this day. I will just assume that the lyrics of this song, centered around darkness, light, and alternate realities, perfectly describe the themes of the video. Who here has truly lived in the shadows?
ps. Happy birthday to both Kara and Mikey.
