“Vera” is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their 1979 album, The Wall. The title is a reference to Vera Lynn, a British singer who came to prominence during World War II with her popular song “We’ll Meet Again”. The reference is ironic, as Roger Waters (and his fictional character “Pink”) would not meet his father, lost in the war. The lyric “Vera, what has become of you?” suggests that Vera Lynn herself, like her promise, vanished.
The opening dialogue (“Where the hell are you, Simon?”) and the sound effects are from the 1969 film The Battle of Britain.
The film version of Pink Floyd The Wall opens with a snippet of Vera Lynn singing “The Little Boy that Santa Claus Forgot”, a song about a boy — like Roger Waters — without a father. In addition, in The Wall Live, the first track opens with Lynn’s “We’ll Meet Again” instead of the snippet of “Outside the Wall” that plays on the album.

Skateboarding is a pastime activity, a work of art, or a method of transportation. Skateboarding has been designed and influenced by many skateboarders throughout the years. A 2002 report by American Sports Data discovered that there are 18.5 million skaters in the world. 85 percent of skateboarders polled who had used a board in the most recent year were under the age of 18, and 74 percent were male. Those numbers have doubled since then. In the ensuing years the physical locations of skate parks have more than tripled making skateboarding more accessible as publicly and privately owned parks and indoor parks are coming into the picture.

The biggest change has been the generation bubble that skated in their youth and have grown up with the “X” Games explosion into the worldwide mainstream of competitive sports and sees it as a participation sport or art for their children led by X-Games Athletes who are affiliated and instruct for our brand and web site.
