State of Skate

A weird little gangsta with cornrows named Lennie Kirk came outta nowhere sometime in 95 and everyone took note of his switch skills.

This weird little cornrowed gangsta found God sometime while filming an Alien Workshop video and filled his part with clips of him preaching. And he skated to gospel music.

That video was Time Code, and in it there is a clip Kirk trying to 50 50 a dumpster when he falls backwards onto his head and neck. Thrown casually into the part, it was a pretty devastating slam. After the slam, he went blind for several hours. When he could see again, Lennie Kirk had found God.

Neither Lennie nor the skate industry has been the same since.
