10/14/2002 Entry: "the answer is never"
Jocko Weyland, a skateboarder, photographer and artist, recently had a book published entitled The Answer is Never. It's both a history of skateboarding and a personal history of his own life in skateboarding. Growing up in Estes Park, Colorado, he was often the only skateboarder around for miles, and would ride his skate ramp alone, for hours. Most of my Sunday was spent reading the book, and it's a powerful story about the overriding force skateboarding and punk rock music (and later hip-hop) had in his life, and how these passions led to his travelling the world skateboarding, photographing, and seeking out life experience.
A condensed section of the book is available.
