As a kid most of the people I hung around were BIG into skateboarding. So naturally, I wanted to be a part of their merry urban adventures. But alas, I could barely stay upright on a board, and the one or two times I ATTEMPTED to do a “trick” ended in disaster. I even went so far as to study the great Tony Hawk and read his auto-biography in the hopes of stirring some sort of skater passion lying deep within me. Eventually I realized that I just wasn’t meant to walk the path of four wheels and pursued other interests. But when you watch Thalente (Pronounced Talent) or listen to him talk, you can just feel this kinetic energy and undying love that he has for skating. There is no conceivable way that you could mistake his feelings for skating boarding as passing phase. For this South African, skating is life, and life is skating. It’s never really flat out said, but it’s pretty clear that if it weren’t for his board, he would’ve ended up a dead a long time ago.
