For those of you who don’t know me (which probably not many do) I am Marcel Scott. I am 31 years old and am not currently a very good skater. Someday, with a little help from my friends, I will be. I used to skate way back in the day (for me anyway). It was from about 1990 to 1999 that I skated. I was decent, nothing to write home about, but decent. My first skate board was a Christian Hosoi. It had Independent Trucks, Bones wheels and the board itself was fat with no nose, like the boards from Gleaming the Cube, which by the way is an awesome movie. It was awesome and that board will live on in my memory forever.
My cohort, Randy, has gotten me to have the skate buzz again, and for this I am eternally grateful. His passion for skating has reinvigorated me and I hope again to be able to ollie while moving one day. As for right now, the ollying must be standing still, but one day I will concur! I will land an ollie and stand up and say "I have become a MAN!" One day! One day it will happen but until that day comes I will dream the dream knowing that dream will become my reality. Also, one day, I will lose this beer gut that has grown steadily over the past 8 years. This will be due to skating again, so in a sense I will owe my life to skating. Thank you skateboard, I am indebted to you forever!
I truly look forward to seeing this company (Weatherd Skateboards) progress from the grass roots stage. I am honored to be part of it, even though I haven’t been skating for so long. I hope to see it become a company skaters can be proud of. A company they feel like they want to support because of the way it is run and because of the attitudes of those who are running it. This will truly be a great experience. I look forward to the day of Awsomeness. It will be fun and I will finally get a board again that day, so look out. I guess all I have left to say at this point is SKATE ON!
