Skating Culture in Atlanta

I wanted to ask you about the skating culture in the suburbs of atlanta growing up. How is that played into your work? I mean, that's quite a dreamy, collegiate, friendly world, isn't it? The world of scape boating. You know, i say that like it expanded my horizons. Cause another thing about li, a middle school of or heigh shools, that it's so regionalized and so alized.
