HELTER SHELTER
Helter Shelter: 9.6SE
Life
There’s no single skate house that is timeless. Each perfect example has its rise to infamy and its inevitable decline (think: Warner Ave, 6 Newell, Pender Beach). These places are the stuff of local legend. Each could be heaven or hell depending where your head’s at. Each could be a laugh-a-second or a chamber of torture. Every one is slightly different but amongst them are some common threads (besides skate videos, Top Ramen and pre-made pizza), that weave their way through the sordid tapestry that is, quintessentially, The Skate House.
