"Fear no Evil" "Skate or Die."
The BoardPunks are one of the Yogangs featured in CyberGeneration (Non-Canon).
Overview[]
You're a rebel without a car: a BoardPunk driven to a rootless lifestyle by a frustration with rules and laws and convention, and a simple desire for freedom you can get by being on a board. Whatever it is, if it's flat and needs to be in a balance, you can ride it. And you're proud to claim that right. There are many types of BoardPunk yogangs, each dedicated to his or her style of "plank".[1]
How to Identify a BoardPunk[]
The easiest way to identify a BoardPunk is that they are usually riding a board of some kind. Clothing they usually wear is either a Roadrasher or a Wetsuit with optional reinforced Knee, elbow and wrist guards, some Board punks even option a high collar neck brace or a air regulator mask. Out of the regular boarding gear they wear loose fitting clothes with board brands or gang logos. BoardPunks generally have long hair because they can't be bothered to have it cut.
