Style is the answer to everything // A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing // To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it // To do a dangerous thing with style is what I call art

- Charles Bukowski

When you hear the opening line of Charles Bukowski's poem, you can't help but think he's talking about skateboarding. This is our representation of some of the most iconic styles in skateboarding. We premiered this piece at the 2014 TWS Awards before the Jay Adams retrospective video, one of skateboarding's original styles.

Billy Valdes has Los Angeles pedigree. He knows the city as well anyone and still holds down a stylistic line on the skateboard with ease. Some things never change. Here are some film images captured by Innocnts from various hangs with Billy in and around the Silver Lake area. Stay tuned for an upcoming Innocnts video short with Billy and long time friend Paulo Diaz. Coming soon enough.
