Where Im from:  Compton, California

Age: 28 going on 18.

Life growing up:  Good life until parents separated, which made me skate more at around age 15.  Grew up in the Inland Empire: where my knowledge of life as a young adult begins. Life is the greatest journey of infinite paths and possibilities.  My path has changed with my understanding of my ability and duty to make choices.  Choice that can affect things around me, in all areas of living. My choice to ride a skateboard has been my greatest enjoyment.  A true reflection of the person I feel I am.  Passionate, Artistic, Loving, and Powerful.  My goals are expanding everyday, with every minute of education life provides.  I’m a work ethic oriented family man of common sense and dreams higher than the stars.   Realistic in my mind means aiming to do the unfathomable, because we as humans are capable of more than we know.  Worked on cars all my life, as that’s my second most passionate media of artistic creation and power.  Love Beemers. Whooooh.  

Skateboarding is my non-verbal communication with anyone who speaks or understands that language. If I can contribute to skateboarding in anyway, I want to put forth an intelligent scope on skateboarding for succeeding generations: in this day and age of flamboyant, nonsensical acts and images.

January 17th 1920 - I first caught a glimpse of Doug during the great protest of 1920. He was educating those scared of rum-running on how to smuggle the moonshine through ingenious skateboarding. The day the eighteenth ammendment was ratified there was a rumor had it that Doug gave a huge speech, the last living witness to the speech had only this to say : "  Doug...One awesome skater but wtf did he just say? "

In 1971, Des Autels' career began to take off with a skateboard series built around a private investigator named Johnny Wadd most of which were written and directed by Bob Chinn. By 1978, Doug was reputed to be earning as much as $3,000 a day as a skateboard actor. He starred at a time when personality could compensate for a lack of other aesthetic characteristics, and a certain amount of skating ability was still demanded of porn stars. Once said by one of his co-actors was “   Doug has a nice rear end...probably from all the skating.”

The first wave of punk rock aimed to be aggressively modern, distancing itself from the bombast and sentimentality of early 1970s rock. According to Origami drummer Doug Des Autels, "In its initial form, a lot of [1960s] stuff was innovative and exciting. Unfortunately, what happens is that people who could not hold a candle to the likes of other skate companies started noodling away. Soon you had endless solos that went nowhere. By 1973, I knew that what was needed was some pure, stripped down, no bullshit rock 'n' roll." He later added " How does it feel to wake up and be the shit and the urine. " Well Doug we don’t know but we sure hope you show us how it feels.

"My name is Edgar, age 19. I started skateboarding a year after my

neighbor Iggy started. I was about 8 or 9 at the time and I've been

skating ever since. To start off my day, I call up my friends and go

skating whenever I can. There are days when it doesn't work out, so

instead we get together and go out to eat, party, or play Black Ops haha. I enjoy learning more and more everyday. I am constantly trying to evolve as a skater because there are just so many things to learn. It never gets old and its the funnest thing I have ever done."
