Skating to the beat of your own drum
Skating to the beat of your own drum
Recently, after watching this section section of Ulph Andersson killing shit backed by his own band, I got thinking about other skaters who’s sections have been set to music fully or partially created by themselves. Music choice can make or break a section and, while some skateboarders have a major part in choosing what song they skate too, others leave this side of things to the vagaries of chance and editors’ tastes. I’ve always liked seeing people skate to music they have created, both are deeply imprinted with personality and give an idea of the character in question. Not only that, it is always good to see people with interests outside of the four wheeled plank making good in different areas! Here are a few of our favourite skateboarding musos to shred to their own musical output.
