SPOTLIGHT: we skate hardcore / the exhibition
by wes driver
Recently I was visiting New York and found myself in Richie
Valasquez's old hood. Williamsburg, Brooklyn to be exact.
Birthplace of the term “hipster” and home to bands like the
Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Interpol. The 80’s came back in style here
like five years ago, so take note; the shit you just discovered
has been played out for years. Find something new to latch
onto, but not here, because areas like this mean business,
and everyone here is automatically cooler than you. I know
becasuse I lived there for a few years, and needless to say I
thought I earned my street-cred (I didn't). I also learned many
other things, like the meaning of the word “gentrification,”
and how it affects neighborhoods like Williamsburg. This also
happens to be one of the themes of "We Skate Hardcore."
our local streets awkwardly in 1996, on a Friday night, when
things were definitely in the “developmental” stages of our
sport. The scene in Brooklyn was no different. The focus of
the book, and this exhibition, was that people unite and
commit to doing activities other than those people consider
ordinary. In this case, skating pulled these individuals away
from drugs, violence, and environmental hazards. Don’t forget,
Brooklyn hasn’t always been safe for cool kids in tight jeans,
oversized sunglasses and cowboy boots. This transition was
only made possible after the area had been deemed “cool,”
and “safe.” Then the suburban kids from the Midwest started
moving there to pursue the dream. Either way, rollerbladers
thrived there first.
The closing day of the exhibition for “We Skate Hardcore”
(from the book by Vincent Cianni) was met with sparse
crowds and no media attention. 104th St. and 5th Avenue
seemed a little slow for a Saturday in the heart of Museum
Row. I had spent the previous night out on the town, and
honestly wasn’t looking forward to the long trek uptown. Oh,
how some things in life turn out to be worth the extra effort.
I can thank Ray Mendez for the kick in the ass.
The “We Skate Hardcore” photo essay follows a group from
the streets of Williamsburg to their current day professions.
Some got caught up in the negatives, while others joined
the military, started a career, or disappeared. One of those
individuals became a pro skater for Rollerblade and runs one
of the premiere skate parks in the world. The neighborhood
where he grew up may have become the epicenter for “cool,”
but to Richie, I’m sure it will always just be where his passion
for skating was born.
To be honest I have seen the book, and like most, overlooked
the text that accompanied the photos. This was a big mistake
because the pictures are only half the story. Walking throughout
the exhibition I was overwhelmed by a confrontation with my
own past. Crews are crews, and everyone has their original
scene, and everyone remembers how things change, and
people move on. Of course, for some of us this meant cruising

hip stretches
by tom hyser
illustrations by micah barrett
Hip injuries are one of the most common types of skate injuries.
Repetitive abuse of your hips can lead to deep bruising, fluid build
up, tightness and muscle strains. Once a hip is bruised I recommend
the standard 48-72 hours of ice, then 48 hours of heat. This is a basic
first-aid rule. To keep initial swelling down with the ice, I suggest
icing immediately after the injury for 10-15 minutes, and then pretty
much whenever possible after that. A bag of frozen corn or peas works
great and is less messy than melting ice. Just make sure you label the
package as your ice pack to avoid eating food that has been repeatedly
frozen and defrosted. After the first 48-72 hours you can use a heat
pack to loosen up the area and get the fluid flowing back out. If you
don’t have a heat pack or heating pad you can improvise with a clean
sock and some dry rice. Fill up the sock, tie it off, and heat the sock
in your microwave for about 30 seconds. DO NOT GET THE RICE WET.
Light massage toward the heart, preferably by your hottie, is also a
nice way to speed up recovery.
1.
Another way to prevent injury is to keep your hips nice and flexible. The
following is a stretching routine that can help you maintain flexibility
and get the most out of your body. If you are smart, you will do this
every day. If your body and mind feel good, you will skate well. It’s
just that simple.
Hip Stretch #1
2.
Lay flat on your back with one leg straight out, flat on the ground. Pull the
other leg up to your chest. Cross your retracted leg in front of your outstretched
leg. Grab behind the knee and pull your outstretched leg to your chest. You
should feel a good pull in the hip joint and your lower back muscles. Do this
for both sides of the body. Take deep full breaths through the nose and out
the mouth. Keep your shoulders nice and relaxed, and make sure the muscles
in your neck, face and jaw are relaxed as well.
Hip Stretch #2
Lay flat on your back with your arms stretched out to the side of your body.
One leg is straight out, flat on the ground. Pull the other leg up to your chest.
Slowly move the retracted leg across your body, trying to get your knee to the
floor. If you like, you can use your opposite hand to lightly push your knee
down to the ground. Make sure your shoulders do not come off the ground.
They should be firmly planted to the floor. Do this for both sides of the body.
Take deep full breaths through the nose and out the mouth.
3.
Hip Stretch #3
Lay flat on your back with one leg straight out, flat on the ground. Pull the
other leg up to your chest. Grab behind the knee and pull your leg to your
chest. This will feel good on the lower back, hamstrings, and hips. Do this for
both sides of the body. Take deep full breaths through the nose and out the
mouth.
4.
Hip Stretch #4
Post up on your hands and knees. Extend one leg straight behind you, flat on
the ground. The other leg is retracted and under your body at a slight angle.
(Be aware of any knee issues. This should not cause any knee pain.) Try to
keep your hips squared. In other words, do not fall over onto the hip you are
stretching. It should stay level with your other hip. If you are flexible, both
hips will be near the ground. You will feel an amazing hip stretch on this one.
To get a better stretch you can take it down to your elbows and then to the
ground. Do this for both sides of the body. Take deep full breaths through the
nose and out the mouth.
Hip Stretch #5
Stand up straight and use a doorway to balance. Place one leg across the other
at the knee. Pretend you have a chair under your butt and begin to bend the
knee you are standing on. Do not allow the knee to go in front of the toes. This
will cause knee pain. The deeper you sit, the better the stretch. Once you’ve
mastered the stretch try doing it without the aid of the doorway. This will not
only stretch the hip, but work on your balance and coordination as well. Do
this for both sides of the body. Take deep full breaths through the nose and
out the mouth.
