How could you not be an Alcosmolik? Weâre talking about the style, the attitude, the embodiment of everything that made the San Diego scene blow up in the 1990s. Peter Smolik was on the cutting edge of ledge skating for days, with the signature sag, crooked brim, and puffy shoes just adding to the allure. But it was the moves that made us fans, and Smolikâs still hold up. Handpicked by Muska to be on the Shortyâs squad, he was on a roll until the luster of the Shortyâs / Osiris / San Diego scene just sort of wore off. But itâs Smolik, and with Sk8Mafia he picked right back up where he left off, and now all we need is one more part like this out of him.
