It was GI kids. That's different than both the rich kids looking for an excuse and eventually helping to steal from us and other Street Skaters and the Street Skaters from all over the U.S.
Street means where you skate. Vert is on ramps and skate parks are again a different set. This is all U.S. sub-culture and skateboarding quickly turns an addictive cult with all side effects.
The same guys that shot at New York Graffiti kids in the 70ies to 80ies would hunt skaters off a parking lot with the very same attitude. The Rockers and Thugs would try to recruit you for selling and taking drugs telling you the most stupid bullshit of their gear being performance enhancing and only the rich thugs kept reading the Thrasher Magazine for more than one copy, because of that bullshit.
Big Red One is a special unit. Since about ever, having a Good Character, a offender can avoid trial by signing up for service there. The FBI and Police on hunt against the other Way of Life in America used that hard. Millionaire is fine, freedom not, dishwasher.
Big Red One is a Frontline Division. That means they go in first. Before Marines, before the Airforce, before fucking everyone else and no one talks about it, like they all read the Thrasher Magazine and guess what. The CIA connected Officer kids all had that mag coming in every copy home delivered into their small villas in the Skyline Barracks on the Hill of Hell's Kitchen looking at an old Fortress on the other hill across that Valley packed with Germans, with Nazis badly hiding their persevered attitude of drugs and superiority.
Training and schedule was made, while their boroughs back in the U.S were flooded with drugs and corrupt Police covered by their customers working for the media, to kill as many of the enemy before dying themself in a great war against the bad bad commies.
Those that share everything, like them with their brothers in arms, hardly knowing personal possessions.
The library was even bigger than a Federal Prison Library and the High School was also a Collage connected straight to West Point. The only Ivory League Collage that won't give you a just a 10k singing bonus for excellence in all industries no matter the PhD.
Sports was not only encouraged, but prime reason and justification of existence. Skateboarding was easy and simple provable like all other Street Sports of being not only helpful, but an advantage in military physical readiness. There are statistics about Skaters having no leg, foot and joint injuries anymore after they managed to jump a 360 Kick Flip down more than 5 steps. It just did not happen anymore.
The treatment was hard and fair with hard drug use being not tolerated at all. Not 0, Arctic Warfare Polar storm sub zero. It meant prison time immediately ending the contract. Racism was hunted. Unfair orders and punishment resulted in loss or rank and contract. Treated hot like a Desert Sand Storm and the only way to witness a white officer in full rage having a red shining head being from the Corn Belt.
Except the CIA guys. They ran parallel. They were different. They loved the Germans, often spoke German and had money they showed off. They came after everyone skating no matter General orders as if they were a constant active test of having understood orders, rules and codex as a GI.
We did not fight Bladers or BMX guys. They were part of us. We were commis in that respect. The Germans didn't. The Germans took drugs and many of the CIA kids right along with them.
We all wanted to fight the Germans. One more time. This time a last time and the CIA guys as hard.

But Commis?
We found a way!
CIA is still around. Unlike Commis they are all the same. Commis is a wide spectrum and Stalinists are the only bad guys. Those formed the Sowjet Union. Lenin was with his movement all about finding a way in early industrialization to avoid worker poverty and thereby eventually a new slavery, even so he would not phrase it exactly like that. With Stalin the drugged took over by scaring everyone. With Che Guevara Lenin's fight turned world wide militant and they fought both Stalin and our problem, just having had a much softer training and less sophisticated military education, beside no skateboards.
Being under the rigid training and military education of a Nuclear World War expecting Division no drugged human will be able to scare you. You look at them and in split seconds understand a dozen ways to snap their lives out of their drugged bodies and egos, for ever, including predicting the consequences being ready to break those, too.
That attitude they all brought back home into their U.S. boroughs and quickly we all made a name among the most hardcore U.S. Gangs. Terrorist Gangs aka Prison Gangs, just we don't go to prison.
Veteran status. The Army remembers.
We are few among the Skateboarders. They called us The Hardcore and I wonder if that term still is around in The Hills and Manhattan's housing, because I got stuck here, in the Valley full of a Nazi generations that does not know U.S. forces around. It is all Hollywood to them, unreal, like a Video Game. I stayed. Some gotta stay behind.
No U.S. ID. Well, none that would stand an investigation and I attract trouble. Beside, I hate them as much as they hate me and learned from how to hide that, just better, until here. Their system failure. Le Terrisage in TIE.
