Flashbang

In Long Beach, California along the amusement zone of The Pike skateboard wheels strike brick corners; clipping momentum. Old Skool catapults himself like a grasshopper into the air. A powerful flashbang pins him at the apex with a stunningly powerful burst of light. He displays a balletic body movement with his own characteristic rhythm. No comply. With the wind and sun at his back, he sails across a timeline of sails at an exact moment the trick was invented by John Lucero. Hardware screws are strewn with golden light. The flight deck invites air-capable vessels to take off. There’s no stoppers on the shoreline for offset angle launches. The tourists gather around. No compliance officers could disburse freedom.
