Notes

  • Editor's note: About The King of Fakey, Jenkins writes: "A few years back, my then 14 year old son made me watch a DVD of one of his inline skating heroes, Chris Haffey, describing him as The King of Fakey. I loved the phrase, and also the total immersion the skaters had in the Kingdom of Skate. Fakey, as I found out, is the practice of skating backwards, but its ambiguity is a truly wonderful thing."
