Perfection over pride
This is to acknowledge all the skaters who never give up.
Who fall and just laugh it off.
Who persevere until their board breaks, or they do.
Skateboarding isn’t something that can so easily be dismissed as an “urban sport”. There is a philosophy of never giving up, never backing down and over coming the fears of trying new tricks and pushing physical boundaries as well as creative ones when adapting to your surroundings. Innovative skateboarders are not skating for the money or fame, they are doing it as an expression of freedom, as a way of overcoming fears and proving something to yourself. With these accomplishments comes the effort taken to achieve them, be it scars on your body, scratches on your skateboard or markings all along a wall showing that you have been here.
Perfection over pride aims to teach you the hard work, courage and persistence that skateboarders go through every day just because they can. Skateboarding has been around long enough for people to realize it is not just kids riding about, it is an art form as well as a sport, after practising for a while you see your surroundings differently thinking not only how you could travel on foot but also on a skateboard, therefore opening up the possibilities.
