Today we started our rounds in the ghetto giving out all the used skateboards we collected all year long. Every time we go to the rough part of the hood, I forget there are so many culture differences it feels like you’re in another country. One of the most obvious ones is that the entire neighborhood is generally welcoming and curious about strangers like us. They’re all outside and hanging out with each other. When I think of your average uptight white neighborhood, I picture high fences, privacy concerns, strangers treated as “guilty” until proven “innocent” and other things that are generally the opposite of the environment these kids are growing up in. Interesting stuff. I hope some of these kids get hooked on skateboarding like I did. It sure kept me out of most trouble growing up. Most.
