Well, I have not been sent to A Gulag, yet. So, I reckon that I cannot complain.

I am both Proud and Humbled that 2009-2023, I had the opportunity to coach and mentor some of The-Most-Incredible Female Skaters, Snowboarders and Surfers from around-the-world, who participated in “Supergirl” / “Super Girl” events.

“THROW-BACK-THURSDAY”

Year 2026 marks the 20th Anniversary of the “Supergirl” / “Super Girl” Festivals held in Oceanside, California.

One would have to be “Old-School” to remember when there were tee shirts as this one.

Judging how this nation continues to spiral into Jim Crow 2.0 and Gilded Age 2.0, it appears that the answer to Rodeny King’s question is “No.”

However, I took hundreds of photographs and I could literally write-a-book about what I personally witnessed in the courtrooms along with all of the Misinformation, Disinformation and Outright Lies disseminated regarding the beating, the arrests and the trials.

I refused to testify in both the State Trial held in Simi Valley, and the US Federal Department of Justice Trial held in Downtown Los Angeles.

I still crack-up each time that I think about the time a group of condescending financial advisors who had that “deer in the headlights look” and they began taking-notes, just as the students in the Rodney (“Thorton Melon”) Dangerfield (RIP) film “Back to School (1986)”.

Now that the Washington Post has laid-off 300+ employees, and much of the remaining media in this nation appears to be difficult to discern what is real, and what is not real, I simply share the following from Year 2002.:

It is Truly-Sad that what was once A Great Surfing Rag continues to waste time on such folks as Jay Alvarez, who has never done anything to further the Sport of Surfing, but who has done a lot to help make Surfing a repository for Fakes and Kooks, pretending to live the lives of “The Rich & Famous.”
