Some boneheads try to scare me when I was skating down to the shops. Like what happened to you, they made light of my dress sense and haircut, which was that Tony Hawk kinda image. I was also relieved to get away unscathed from those gnarly looking thugs.<BR/>About year later I decided I wanted to become a "ska skin". I got my head shaved, bought some DM boots and a flyer jacket etc... Just like that kid from "This Is England". That fad lasted about a year. I just couldn't stand drawing negative attention to myself.<BR/>Man, am I thankful I discovered hardcore.<BR/>Cheers, <BR/>Al from Melbourne, AustraliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-67854168405505919742008-08-21T15:53:00.000-04:002008-08-21T15:53:00.000-04:00i hate the 'investigative reporters'i hate the 'investigative reporters'nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285824002271829977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-7543572385590467632008-08-21T09:34:00.000-04:002008-08-21T09:34:00.000-04:00there's two bits of footage of some of the Suburba...there's two bits of footage of some of the Suburban Uprise/The Uprise guys in this thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-84059888148661523202008-08-21T07:15:00.000-04:002008-08-21T07:15:00.000-04:00Yeah, you're right.Yeah, you're right.Brett Hardwarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01088061590265579338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-32326896261208138262008-08-20T12:54:00.000-04:002008-08-20T12:54:00.000-04:00This was from October of '88.

Peter K (the guy who is afraid of losing his job on Long Island) is the older brother of Archie S.I.B., the leader of the Strong Island Boys, who died apparently of a drug overdose. Peter recently wrote a book in which he claims his brother was murdered by the system:<BR/><BR/>"Murder is not only the unlawful killing of one human being by another; it is also a conscious system or policies that contribute to purposeful deaths. My brother and I grew up ignorant in a rigged and manipulated system. Our choices and decisions at every step were from implanted subconscious responses from this rigged system. There are clear manipulators and people who understand the inner workings of this system and are therefore equipped with the knowledge to make better decisions, so the actions of the mindless drones (self included) that stem from this system are their ultimate responsibility. You cannot fault a person that has existed in ignorance, sometimes through generations, for not being able to choose through this rigged system. It is like telling a monkey to work out a mathematical equation. Unlike the animal, a human has the potential to break out of his ignorance."<BR/><BR/>The number of people who won't take responsibility or accept responsibility never ceases to amaze me.Dave Steinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13348647340802330182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-40416053952125553202008-08-20T10:33:00.000-04:002008-08-20T10:33:00.000-04:00Do you people really think that even if you were o...Do you people really think that even if you were on stage singing along to every second of all the footage that any "adult" would have know that is was taped the Sunday you said you were supoosed to be somewhere? You think Coach Johnson would be like "I saw that NFAA footage from CBs and I know that NFAA played there on Sept 12th and they're from Cali, so they don't play CBs a lot, so I know that was you there on that date and not at our swim meet!" C'mon now! To normal people that footage does not matter and could be from any time and they only know it's CBs if they pay attention to the reported in front of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-54548260190638468042008-08-20T10:25:00.000-04:002008-08-20T10:25:00.000-04:00city gardens "skins" were the worst... ...city gardens "skins" were the worst... <BR/><BR/>absolutely hated going there. way too many idiots. my usual exit was stage diving & then being escorted out the side door. <BR/><BR/>-jeffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-88035688486887218412008-08-20T08:17:00.000-04:002008-08-20T08:17:00.000-04:00brian btw is in the red shirt standing in front of...brian btw is in the red shirt standing in front of the stage in the NFAA footage.adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03779900021718675789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-19420544070253448832008-08-20T07:57:00.000-04:002008-08-20T07:57:00.000-04:00i remember being at the NFAA show at CBGB's with a...i remember being at the NFAA show at CBGB's with a bunch of friends from CT, in particular my friend Brian Roberts who was also on the wrestling team with me. we had skipped a wrestling meet that Saturday to go into NYC and when he found out that the NFAA show was being shown on TV he was terrified that our coach would see him. Of course he gets shown prominantly in the the footage, but our coach back in CT never watched NYC news stations!adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03779900021718675789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-22190277933010418012008-08-20T07:34:00.000-04:002008-08-20T07:34:00.000-04:00I think this was from 1989 Tim.

I remember watching this on the ABC news with my Mother and praying I didn't show up in the crowd shots at CB's, since I wasn't supposed to be there.
