    "When you keep yourself in that kook phase, you expose yourself, you make yourself vulnerable, and you open yourself up so life has a chance to get in you, and work its magic on you." So good Stacy Peralta.

      Stop. Your autism isn't important. Neither is this self centered boomer brain. Normal people learn a science, invent a technology, cure a disease. This dude literally spends his time on himself, it will never benefit anyone else.

    "Every kid needs to feel beautiful. Because when you feel beautiful, you're connected to yourself - and to the ground." Oh my gosh, how true and how beautiful. Because the truth is we are so individually very beautiful, and each person needs to know this about their self by feeling it. I always walk around reflecting a kid's beauty back to them - because I see it and I want them to always be reminded of that truth so that one day, when maybe they've been a bit too beat down by life or nobody let them hold on to that knowledge-through-feeling, my little confirmation will have added up within them as a resilience that protects them from the lies the world tells them about their self. I love turning into a crone of a woman. I love the rewards of being old(er)! I love this wisdom. But yeah, one has to fight against the gravity of life pressing down against you. ;) Love love love this message/story! LOVE YOUR ARTWORK! Thank you for sharing yourself! :D

    hey Peralta - thanks for this, thanks for being rad in Dogtown & thanks for giving us skate dudes the Brigade. ‘Chin’ was for us. I know y’all hate it, but it was your Powell & Peralta Snobs’ SNL of that era. it’s badass that you’re creating art, still. thanks for that & please charge on…many of us are still all-in.

    Love it. Great guy! I am a 1976 (Paris) skateboarder and I which I would still have kept all me skateboards. Especially the last one for that period for me. A 7 layers laminated Hobie board, ACS trucks and 65 red Kryptonics wheels. I never had a better combination after that. Not sure what happened to it. I moved so many times. I lost it all. No big deal.

Love your paintings. I still have several of my old boards including one with Chicago trucks and Roller Sports Mk iv wheels . Keep the stoke alive

SO THANK YOU STACY PERALTA FOR PUTTING THE WORD "KOOK" IN A WHOLE NEW LIGHT, I HAD ONE OF YOUR BOARDS BACK IN THE DAY BUT NEVER IN MY WILDEST DREAMS DID I THINK YOU WOULD BE NARRATING THIS TALE OF CREATIVITY AS A SPIRITUAL PURSUIT, GOD BLESS YOU STACEY YOU'RE AWESOME!❤😢😮😅❤
    It takes a real man to say "Kids need to feel beautiful" - they should put that on a plaque somewhere!❤(?!)!

    Stacy, I'm not sure if you're going to read this, but you've been the brightest light of inspiration in my life since I could remember being alive. Probably 3 or 4 years old. You've always represented the magic in the world, and the possible magic that is available to me, in the creative ways I've lived.
    If there is such a thing as magic in our world, your mind, body and spirit contain an astonishingly generous amount of it. Maybe because you've always been looking for things no one else notices? Maybe because you're tuned in with a level of awareness that many of us aren't open enough to realize is there? All I can say is thank you for being such a great mentor from afar, providing inspiration and unveiling radical colors, expansive shapes and far out vistas the rest of us could never have imagined! You've shown us so many glimpses of the passageway to a secret and magical world, that gives us all a deeper awareness of what boundaries might exist out there for us to make our own discoveries and push beyond the limits of what we know. I understand what you're saying here about getting your cues from the creative subconscious, rather than the loud noise of the mind. I think when you're able to connect with that space, anything is possible, and perhaps this is where the most innovative ideas and art are possible?
    Dana... this is the best. Thank you. I've never seen Stacy on camera being so open and honest before about his inner world and thoughts. It's truly inspiring to hear him speak after years of experiencing his spirit in the outer world.

    Stacy, your abstract drawings are so cool. I would love to see some of your original artwork like the ones in your book of drawings on a new Stacy Peralta signature model deck from Powell Peralta. I would buy that and ride it instantly. Thanks for showing us your skateboards. The progression is amazing, especially the last 4 yellow Powell boards, which show a finer granularity of evolution, as you perfected and invented your ideal skateboard with George Powell; the skateboard you would become a famous visual iconic superhero for, forever.
