Hometown Hero

As kids there were a few ways of transportation, your bicycle, your feet, or your skateboard. Bikes were still pretty expensive, walking was way too slow hahaha. It seemed like skateboards were most used by the kids in my neighborhood. I grew up riding skateboards with all my friends. It was big, it was cool, we skated everywhere. Parking lots, our famous local high schools, where ever we could. If we got kicked out there were other places to go.

Well, growing up in Garden Grove, our hometown hero was none other than Pat Channita. Our parents knew each other and we hung out with the Channita family all the time. I remember hella kids would show up on Jackson street to see Pat skate on these spray painted benches and boxes, while DJ Thicks was on the turntables hahah. I think the best part was when he gave us his old skateboards, bomb ass stickers, and making fun of us. HAHAHA.

Paying homage to one of the Greats of Garden Grove, CA. Pat Channita. This is the 411VM issue 34. Check out his new video on YouTube! He still doing intricate flips on ya.
