Do you brush your teeth twice a day?
No, I don't.
Just once?
Once, but it's a damn good brushing. Bleeding gums and the whole bit. When it comes to brushing, if you don't bleed, it ain't clean.
For some reason I've always remembered Ray's quote about brushing his teeth from his pro spotlight interview with Stacy Peralta.
Ray died from cancer a year ago. He was a long time Powell Peralta rider during the heyday of the Bones Brigade. He invented the classic experimental deck that you would see in the videos when pros were testing out new shapes. He was a very stylish and clean skater.
