&ldquo;When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the h***, leap.&rdquo;<br /> -Cynthia Heimel

wheels of clay
ravage these ruins
try to beat us with skyscrapers
but through the cracks we've
already fallen.

found the edge
of the sidewalk
and decided to jump.
shirts off, banshee howling.

only children but we've
already hardened
beyond the flecks of asphalt
lodged in our faces.

it's a romantic chaos
but we don't notice it
at 70 mph on a
downhill slope.

you think you're ready
for this
but we just shake our heads
and laugh.
because motherf'r,
you've gotta be born this way.

About the legendary Zephyr Team, a group of outcast skateboarders from the slums of Los Angeles who revolutionized the entire sport and virtually invented vertical and aerial skateboarding during the 1970's. Enjoy.
