"Hawai’i Fridays Skate Gang
The Hawai’i Fridays Skate Gang, or just Skate Gang, is a splort association and network for Fridays, fans, and Hawaiians who like skateboarding. For many years, it existed in a loose, more casual form, but it was officially established and incorporated into the larger Fridays organization by Mordecai Kingbird after his transfer and move to Hawai’i in the β16 Postseason.
In one interview, a fellow skateboarding down Interstate H-2 while being chased after by a reporter said, “The #SkateGang was originally started by a bunch of us Fridays fans who would skateboard to games and bang our boards against the bleachers to celebrate. Then Mordecai came and made it an official part of the Fridays. That’s when they got the Fletcher Yamamoto Memorial Grind Rail (He's not dead, it's fine).” The Skate Gang tend to know the spots with the best vibes and are often the first to relocate when the vibes shift. Known for their love for all things groovy and radical, the group commonly heralds their unofficial slogan: “Skate or die”. When asked what this meant, avid skateboarder and cousin Annick Throgmorten commented, “You either skate, or you die.”
Despite it’s informal manner, the Skate Gang has played an important role for and by the Fridays in-game. In Season β17, they played a hand in the effort to recover previous Fridays player Alyssa Harrell after her Redaction. The team managed to bring her back, bring her home, and give her a skateboard all in one go. Similarly, upon the opening of the Hall of Flame and the melting of the Coin in Season β24, the newly revived Hawai’i Fridays navigated full speed directly from the Hall and towards the Horizon to complete one last skateboard trick before all of Baseball was nullified. This was due to the efforts of the Skate Gang, excited to be back in the game (though they were not back in the games), allowing the team to finish out the era in proper Fridays’ style.
The Skate Gang is open to any and all folks who want to join. While there is no official list of membership, notable members of the Skate Gang include: Kingbird, Throgmorten, Harrell, Fletcher Berger II, and community members such as local teen rascals and an actual bunny."
