Hanging with the homies of Haggard reminded me of my old high school buddies. All summer long, swimming at one someone’s house, blaring the music, and when it time to clean the pool, you rode it until next year.

We all know that skateboarding has come along way since the days of T&C boards, rubber board protectors, and clay wheels. Clay wheels? Kind of reminds you of The Flintstones, right?

Bakersfield has a grip of skate factions - I usually encounter a select group around the downtown parking structure every night I walk out to my car. They’re always cool, just doing their thing.

A couple of months ago, I received a message from Daniel Scheidle about Haggard Longboards, a new upstart business he and some friends had started.

When we set up the interview, I was impressed to find out that all five friends that make up the Haggard team of builders are really a tight group of buds living the endless summer.

They’re no slouches, these dudes have brains and their minds set on success. I’m sure you’ll agree after reading their story.

Speaking of friends, the passing of local promoter Kurtis Willingham shocked many in the scene. We will miss his mellow demeanor and passion for music, but his spirit lives on in the audience forever.

In this issue we have all kinds of coolness, courtesy of our contributors, some of whom I met at the Ice Cube concert on Aug. 27.

Bakotopia would like say “Welcome back” to all of our Bakersfield College readers. Study hard and keep on reading Bakotopia! We’ll see you all at “Bakotopia’s Back To School Bashes” at The Dome and Narducci’s, and after Villagefest at Fishlips for my B-day rager on Sept. 6!
