“I gave my life to skateboarding, you know? I fucked up.” - Jake Phelps 🌹 RIP 🌹

[shootshootshootbang]

“I gave my life to skateboarding, you know? I fucked up. I don’t have no kids, I got no wife, I got nothing. I just skate. But I don’t regret it at all. I would never change a lick. I mean, it’s awkward at times to explain it to people. My dad’s still like, ‘You still skate?’ and I still have to say, ‘Yeah I know Pops, it sounds ridiculous, but yeah, I still skate.’ Because there’s nothing better flying down a fucking hill at 40 miles an hour and realising that if you don’t make it you’re going to die, and I know it sounds like a fucking Red Bull commercial, but I am an adrenalin junkie. I just love skating, I love the sound of it. When people get psyched on making a trick, the look on the little kids’ faces, when they make something they never tried before. Those little things, that’s what keeps me hyped on skating. And you can’t buy it, you can’t buy credibility. People know who I am because they know I gave everything to skating. People know I’m the real deal, I’m not clowning it. I don’t give a fuck about what costume you wear, I just care about skateboarding, here and now, and that’s it.”

Thank you.

Dearest followers it comes as a crushing blow to hear today that Tumblr will begin censoring and dismantling the artwork that we have created over the past decade. Not every piece will be taken down but the museum will forever be marred. 

Over the past 10 years that Dethjunkie* has existed the blog maintained a continuous and unending flow of juxtaposed photographs and artworks. Like the links of a chain, each piece was chosen to be in the exact spot it was chosen to be to maintain a subtle non-linear narrative. A narrative that has continued over the course of ten years.

Now with great sadness, it seems that this time-based work of art and curation will be disassembled and tarnished. Like the pages of a book being ripped out. What will remain of the story? We will soon find out.

From the depths of my soul thank you for your years of support. Hope you were able to find some inspiration and as always … remember what the door mouse said…

Though I register with anarchy more than any other belief system, this pisses me off that someone would ever let their dog be a “riot dog”. Fuck the person who allowed to expose their 4-legged homie to this. I come home to have love and comfort from my dog (dawg) and I want to be with him as long as possible. Instead of taking your dog to a riot take them hiking you short-sighted, mental midget.

On days like these (9 October 2014) “Loukanikos”, internationally known as the “Riot Dog”, passed away in Athens at the age of 10. His health was adversely affected by police asphyxiating gas and from being repeatedly kicked by cops.Remembering our comrade in riot.
