Long Time Goal Attained

Here's the thing about Nik. He brings the stoke. Even if he doesn't bring it with him for his own personal use, he brings it for YOU. Every time - every skate. He may be havin one of those shitty skates that everyone gets served up occasionally (or often, for some of us), but, when it is your run, he still gives you props. Hell, YOU may be havin one of those shitty skates that everyone gets served up occasionally (or often, for some of us), but, when it is your run, he is there to remind you that every run is a good run. Because you had a chance to get a run. Because: a) you are above ground, and b) you are on a skateboard. Sometimes it is easy to lose sight of the specialness of these two seemingly small things. Nik, however, seems to never forget the value of these things and his stoke reminds YOU that these are good things. That is why Nik Rocks.

So, when Nik checks a box on his skate card - a box that has been mocking him for years with its vacuous, blindingly white, emptiness of checklessness - he deserves BIG props. A big build up and his own damn post complete with video. THIS is why Nik Rocks!



So, Cheers to YOU, Mr. Dawson! May the Skate Gods always smile on you!!
