Rodney Mullen Instagram – For all the accomplished, even famous, artists who draw from skateboarding, there are even more who commit themselves to a service of a different sort. They don’t talk or debate; rather, when the call comes, they answer it for the rest of us, a sacrifice that often stays with them even when they do make it back. Skaters populate our most elite Special Forces (Thank You, Chris!), NORAD (Yeah Ben!), while others quietly walk amongst us, restarting their lives. Bret’s friend (Jeff) was an Infantry Marine; he used to visualize lines on vert to help center himself on deployments; once home, he started Buzz Bomb Skateboards because, “Skateboarding brought me back to me.” After Bret joined up, I asked if I could be part of a collaboration, with the good word from Almost. Our boards will be released next week— check ‘em @buzzbombskates. (Photo: Upon hearing, Jeff sent this Bible he found on a dusty shelf in Ramadi.) | Posted on 09/Apr/2017 21:10:07
