When I met him during Slam City—drunk in a bathroom at the Commodore, I think—I told him that I'd ridden his "Have a Heart" slick. He laughed and thanked me for the couple of dollars my purchases put in his pocket.Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471076293349020220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-74382773079988442952011-08-02T06:50:25.470-07:002011-08-02T06:50:25.470-07:00Birdman (not that Birdman) is prolly the first pro...Birdman (not that Birdman) is prolly the first pro I read about who made the transition from skater to team manager. At first I had no real idea what a TM did, but I soon realized it was quite possibly the most hellish job in the skateboarding industry. Imagine being in charge of a bunch of teenagers and early 20-somethings. All down for smoking,dranking,kicking it,gambling,bird hunting and other types of ill shit. It's a wonder more team managers don't have vicious amounts of gray hair. Can you imagine having to do per diems, hotel reservations,etc. UGHKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328567058927319267noreply@blogger.com
