Skateboarding Tales: Dropping In; Board-Bound Runaways; SoCal Days at the Concrete Wave

This week we once again eschew the ball sports and this time head to the skateparks and mean streets to find our stories from the world of skateboarding. First up, Story Forward's own Larry Rosen brings us a medley of wicked formative stories from his time as a serious (more serious than we ever knew!) skateboard kid in the early days of the SoCal scene. The Concrete Wave skatepark, fitting in, and Stacy Peralta play prominent roles. THEN our man Brett Badostain of EaseDrop Podcast Network fame delivers a touching father/son runaway and return story about his angst-ridden skateboarding prodigal days, and the loving father who understood just what young Brett needed. AND to round out our boarding stories, longtime friend of Story Forward, filmmaker, creator, and badass skateboarding maven, Erica Deshner Cornwall, delivers a full-throated story about learning to drop in, and how skateboarding has and will always influence and inform her life as an artist and human being.
