AGE,COLOR AND CREED TO CONVERGEON CITY STREETS AROUND THE GLOBE IN THE CELEBRATION OF PURE SKATEBOARDING.
WE DECLARE THAT SKATEBOARDING IS NO LONGER A SPECTATOR SPORT.WE
BELIVE IN DEMOLISHINGTHE INVISIBLE BARRIERS THAT SEPERATE PRO SKATERSFROM THE REST OF US .WILD IN THE STREETS IS COMPRISED
OF ALL EQUAL PARTICIPANTS.
WE ALSO CONTEND THAT CONVENTIONAL ORGANIZED SKATEBOARDING COMPETITIONSAND
EVENTS ARE,IN EFFECT,A MISREPRESENTATION OF SKATEBOARDING ,SAFETYAND CONVENIENTLY RE-PACKAGED FOR MAINSTREAM CORPORATE CONSUMTION.WILD
IN THE STREETS IS ABOUT CHALLENGING CONFORMITY.
AND WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE VERY SOCIETY THAT HAS MARGINALIZED
US AS SKATEBOARDERS IS NOW FORMALY ENGAGED IN THE PENETRATION AND MISAPPROPPRIATION OF OUR ORIGINAL AND DISTINCT SKATE
CULTURE.THEY,IN TURN,FEED IT BACK TO US AS MORE MIND-POLLUTING PROPAGANDA.

IS IN THE ABILITY OF SKATEBOARDERSTO SUCCESSFULLY REINTERPRET THIER EXISTING ENVIROMENTSTO CREATE FUN .WE ARE ABOUT TAKING
SKATEBOARDING BACK TO WERE IT WAS BORN-THE STREETS .
TOGETHER,WE CAN DEFY CONVENTIONAL AND REJECT SKATEBOARDING'S IMAGE
FACTORIES AND TRENDS MARKETERS USE TO DEVISE AND CATOGORIZE US BASED OFF OF OUR HAIR ,OR THE CUT OF OUR PANTS ,WILD IN THE
STREETS IN ABOUT TRANSENDING THESE PETTY,TREND BASED DIVERSIONS.
TOGETHER,WE CAN BE OUR OWN REPRESENATIVE TO THE WORLD AND BRING
AWARNESS TO OUR OWN COLLECTIVE NEEDS .THE SPECTACULAROF HUNDREDSOF SKATEBOARDERSCONVERGING ON CITY STREETS AROUND THE GLOBE
HAS AN IMPACT THAT CANT BE DENIED.WILD IN THE STREETS IS ABOUT DOIN IT OUR SELFS .

WORLDS PROBLEMS . WE KNOW WE COULDN'T ,EVEN IF WE TRIED .THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF WILD IN THE STREETS IS PURE AND SIMPLE :FUN.THIS
