there’s never a moment where I feel
satisfied with skating it’s always in
you and then when you find when you take
the skates off you move through life
skating
when I come out here to skate I come out
here to find this other space that’s
just incredible my body has figured out
what it wants to do and it just has come
up with all these routines that I have
and I’ve been doing this for a long time
it’s kind of a meditation
I smoke a joint and I spent around 50
times you know the world is wonderful
my first pair of inline skates I got at
the beach in Venice we rented them and
skated up and down the beach and it was
like I was a fish that had been thrown
back in the water
when we got back to the rental place we
didn’t give the skates back we paid for
them and skated away with them that was
really a pivotal moment my life
so I looked at a magazine they had OJ
Simpson with a pair of these blue and
yellow rollerskates and he’s like got
his little collar he’s cool I’m like I
want those I got those yellow hard
wheels and we started skating every day
my name is Terrence grew up in San
Francisco with my two brothers we only
have two skates so we had to share the
skates so we started with one skate on
one foot
what inspired me to get back into
skating was actually a comic book it was
about whole bunch a whole bunch of kids
and high-tech motorized skis I dude
that’s awesome
my nickname here is Morpheus I got this
cut on my 20th birthday around that time
I started like losing my hair for some
reason and I was like looking for these
type of glasses and then Dean all of a
sudden like I said hey what’s up for
this and said oh oh what water corn says
I do look like him just without that
suit but I don’t want to ski in this
suit
my nickname was z z ee when I was out
here you know in the early stages I met
a girl and her name was tiny and she was
from Puerto Rico and she was a she was a
good pick pocketer man like wow I just
come up with a lot of electronics and
stuff like that I got this I got that I
get they say what ma’am what is it that
you don’t ever get then they said you
know that’s what i’ma call you gonna
call you Z you’re getting everything
from A to Z but she died of AIDS man
bless her heart man marriage may not
rest in peace man I’m just grateful to
be alive and enjoy to do this and I
think I won’t never take that for
granted
this same energy that we are
experiencing out here is just as
powerful now as it was when I first came
out here March 1979 this group here has
been the epitome of what San Francisco
is you can come out to the park you
don’t have to live up to any
expectations you’re accepted as long as
you’re cool they’re cool
you’ll see a place where you get people
of all ages all colors all races and all
walks of life coming together to have
one kind of fun nobody cares what you
look like how old you are and what you
do for a living just come out have fun
people come by and they go I got to do
that and some of them are thinking only
in San Francisco what a bunch of weirdos
so what if it looks weird so what if
it’s not mainstream popular if it’s not
for you then it’s not for you but if it
is for you and if other people think
it’s weird or not cool then don’t listen
to them
just listen to your heart
you can have all the drugs alcohol
anything you want to get you high but no
matter what its gonna run its course and
you’re gonna come down when you get high
on life without dealing with dancing you
go higher than you can ever imagine and
you can stay there just as long as you
want to stay there then when you do want
to come down there’s no side effects and
you didn’t pay a thing
it was all totally free
satisfied with skating it’s always in
you and then when you find when you take
the skates off you move through life
skating
