This song was written about the skate film, The Search for Animal Chin.
lyrics
30 years ago today
Five skaters went on their way
Searching for a wise old man
Who built a park with his bare hands
They didn’t know where they would roam
Even with maps to the skaters homes
But they needed just to venture out
They’ve got no time for thoughts of doubt
So let’s go
On a ride
They don’t know
What they will find
A ramp on a hill, or some rails in a ditch
But they know that they’re on the search for Animal Chin
They got tired and needed ride
So they copped an old blue 59
Rode through the desert in hyperdrive
Can’t give up on what they’re needing to find
They got to Vegas in record time
Dropped by Blue Tile to skate some lines
Got some help from Johnny Rad
Needed it no matter how bad
But now
They’re on our way
A ramp
It calls their names
They don’t know where the man has been
But they’re staying on the search for Animal Chin
