First off. I’d like to take this time, to wish skateboarding LEGEND- Mr. Chuck Dinkins. A very, Happy Birthday!! Thank you for your contribution to the culture, brother. And, here’s to many more!
On today’s episode. We pick right back up, with part 2 of our conversation. Chuck discusses how he got into downhill racing, with Alan Gelfand & friends in Albuquerque, NM. We talk “fake spots”, confused gate-keeping and how Steve Berra was actually onto something back in the day. He also discusses some stories of racism, both past & present in skateboarding. Pressures of being a Black skateboarder. How the Alva boys took him in on the road. And, all things skateboarding!!
For the culture, of course.
Yall make sure to tap-in, and tell quadruple-OG Chuck Dinkins- Happy Birthday. This man has done a lot, for a lot of us. All praises due. Lets get this show going.- Clyde Singleton
