I remember when that Natas Kaupas came out it was so demonic, friends...Moms wasn't having some of the symbolism...



Hustle you got an OG Caballero deck in your collection?

I've had a total of 130-something pro models in my career.. my parents got most of em.. ​

Thats wassup.. I read a couple of your articles.. You must have gone mainstream around the same time I fell back and stopped actively checking on the culture..

The only Black skater me and my cousins really knew about was Ray Barbie and he was just getting started from what I remember..

that middle deck is cray!

so,..did you get residuals for every deck sold?
also,..how do other skaters feel about weezy.
possibly making more than likely a larger check than them. while not being an actual skater?

imo, it would be better to show love to skaters by honoring them.

than actually undermining them, in the manner weezy is.

people can skateboard everyday, but it doesn't guarantee you'll be good at it.. it takes alot of time, and dedication.. its also a mental game.. only thing i can compare it to, is golf..

Wayne just don't got what it takes.. him liking to skateboard, and him parading around like hes gonna be the best and trying to make money all the while is what really makes him look goofy as fukk.. he should do like Chris Brown, Beiber'velli and the rest of them cats who just enjoy doing it on the low.. everything aint about being flashy, and making money.. especially amongst the skateboard culture.. peep that BB trailer, and watch what Tony Hawk says.. dude just wanted to skateboard.. thats truthfully all any skater wants to do.. especially his first few years.. all the other shyt, is a added bonus after years of dedicating yourself to the sport..

the love of skating and skater's love to do it, is similiar to my love of emcee'n.
i just do it to do it and what happens from it happens from it.
i think i have done well to not be into the commercialism.
which is why i find this whole weezy shyt a ruse.
as weezy's inability to ramp up just makes no sense for all his talk on these vids.
it is gateway noob to liar bandwagoning at best. just like his ability to pick sports teams.

since i was seven i have idolized tony hawk and chrisitian hosoi, especially.
shyt thrashin', thrasher mag vids and curb dogs were on repeat.
just as hard as style wars and wild style for me.

yo, hustle,....
why don't you commission weezy to hire you as a consultant, to train duke.
the rub would help your permeation in the urban market, as an added plus.
maybe you could instill some realness into his skating.

everyone transitioned to other decks, around 89/90.. all the boards started to get alot skinnier/lighter because people were really straying away from any kinda components like rails, nose guard, copers & tail skids that actually made the boards heavier, and restricted you from doing alot of tricks..

i learned a majority of skateboard tricks, within my first 2yrs.. i started skating at the beginning of Summer, and by the end I was doing inverts on flatground.. doing trcks off waist-high launch ramps.. pretty much all my basics, and was even dropping in my homies backyard vert ramp by the time school came back in.. i never owned pads, and honestly still don't to this day(I Wouldn't recommend that, tho :mjpls:)..

I actually have a old school Gator, in practically mint condition.. it was the first one, where it said Mark Rogowski, instead of Mark "Gator" Rogowski in his signature.. for those of you who remember Gators, it's the one before the jagged lines in the hypnotic-esque graphic.. i still skate it here & there, and can do all old-school, and modern tricks on it with no problem..

also, for any fans of Robert Williams(of Juxtapos fame, and he also did the BDP "Sex & Violence" cover) he released a series with all the OG Santa Cruz cats(Dressen Tom Know, Jason Jesse, etc) and I got my hands on one of them as well.. :smugdraper: he recently did one with Gonz, Im currently gonna track down.. dog, my crib look like a skateboard museum.. just got a 8x10 B&W OG print of Hosoi in Venice 1988, doing a method air off a jumpramp.. :ahh:

damn, you takin me back. I saw Animal Chin right before I started skating. it was all about street plants and launch ramps. my first board was a Schmitt Stix Ripsaw. I remember my boy had a Hosoi Hammerhead. I think I remember that Hosoi pic. what is that, a 'crooked cop'? :heh:
