Happy Birthday Harold! Legends never die. (SKATEYOGI weekend forecast 4/6/14)

Another Sunday late edition!

Hi everybody! Sorry, another week with the forecast slipping deep into the weekend but what a beautiful day it is!! The subject line references this past Wednesday which woulda been Harold Hunter's 40th Birthday. He passed away in 2006 but his legacy lives on as one of the quintessential skateboarders in NYC history, touching so many hearts with his energy and known to a larger audience for his role in the movie Kids. The Harold Hunter Foundation threw a birthday bash for him with some previously unreleased documentary footage playing downstairs keeping the memory fresh. Their mission is to harness the power of skateboarding to transform lives.
