So my friend posted a 'new trick' 'for him' on a vert ramp, padless. I put the comment from the business page, I used to he able to that in 1991, some kid writes, 'no you didnt.' I sent him this photo from #mikeballard publish in #poweredge at #visaliaskatecamp 1989 and another one from San Jose warehouse in 89 and he writes 'not the same trick' I told him to youtube it @jacobrosenberg filmed and posted it, I believe I did one with a nose grab that day🙏🏽 thanks for sending this over @peanut186 these kids have to be taught to have some respect, no one has schooled them, each one teach one, or get bombed on with knowledge #elseñorjewelry #elseñorskate #elseñornewyork #elseñorvisalia (at Visalia, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Jt4kzlvmm/?igshid=u52h43x4h84g
