remind me of the kids at the park:

me: what are you trying?

kid: 540 flip to darkslide to nose manny out

me: can you even boardslide that rail?

kid: no...

at least the Gawd char knows the names of some tricks.. I'll give him that much..

btw, I know both Chris & Ed.. known Chris alot longer, but their both my people.. matter of fact, i went to Chris' wedding..

I don't really be at south beach much, unless its to go to a club. props though homie, much more success to you and your future

yea.. im not too big on S. Beach, but to each their own.. appreciate it tho, my man..

i got into thgame, relatively early..first procontest was Munster '92..

and, Rays still around.. hes really good people.. i shot a spread wearing his limited issue Vans a few years back, and he personally shot me a pair.. even after everything, that was huge to me.. i looked up to that dude so much growing up, and for him to do that was a huge honor..

u still mees around on the board, much..? alot of folks from back in the day been getting back in the scene heavy.. good seeing old friends i grew up with, pros, etc back out there just having fun with it

for the limited board- yes.. one of the few times I got residuals.. other than that, its usually a flat rate.. anywhere from $2-5k monthly for boards, plus other sponsors pay well.. a 4/5k a month, plus all the travel, product, etc just to do what you love aint a bad deal.. especially in the 90s/early 2000s.. now, kids alot of these kids are seeing that Tony Hawk/Christian Hosoi/Gator dough.. them cats were making like 30k/month on boards alone in the mid-80s..


from what I gather, alot of people have skated with dude.. some of the best.. he just don't got it.. he's too worried about things that have absolutely nothing to do with skateboarding..

imo, its like he knows hes lost a huge part of his hip-hop fanbase, so he's literally reaching for anything to remain in the public eye.. his music doesn't seem to have the same effect it did years ago, so he has to find a way to keep his name out there at all costs.. be interesting to see if he actually stuck with skating.. i don't think he will.. he'll probly get some kinda "injury", that will prevent him from ever skating again and his dumb ass fans will eat it up..

that nikka look like my best friend who had a gargoyle, after i got mine.
then, never learned to skate on some lazy shyt. man, back in the day i had to go upside these nikkaz at the beach heads with the trucks.

to, steal his gargoyle back for him. they pushed him off of on the bike trail.
i was trailing the rear and i saw them nikkaz and schwap, paq paq them old folks ass nikka tha fukk up.excuse me trying to verbalize what the sound efx sound like. nuffin siund like hitting a nikka upside the head with the trucks. my fukk'n skate crew was spooked and all them nikkaz left me.

i had to hide out in the park and catch back up with them.

shyt was wild,....
i never umderstood how if you got a deck. you would not be on it.
shyt is still kinda mindboggling.
i got this transformer deck and the trucks is all bent. if i win a jackpot, i'm thinking about just going to two bullshyt trucks like fukk it.
make this crib into some tommy'n em shyt from thrashin. shred the shyt outta this cheap laminate bullshyt in the front room.
so i guess i can't feel weezy on this bullshyt he on.

nikkaz would give anything to be healthy as a shawty and been able to keep skating.
i still remember the doc like,..you won't be skatin' or playing basketball to much anymore....

fukk'n life over!!

from that weak ass eighties medicine,......

my best friend growin up, had the Twig Stix.. man, I remember when that Chris Miller Schmitt Stix dropped with the pointy nose.. that board, was one of the first skinny street boards with concave and everything..dog, that shyt was TOO sweet..

btw, Natas ollied the cowin Ohio Skaetout.. he didnt skate Savanna Slamma.. Savanna Slamma was the contest Gonz rode up the 6ft quarter, and front board UP that tall rail.. that shyt was epic.. one of the first videos I ever saw.. I was hooked on street from that point, because my first few years I really only skated vert & pools..

speaking of stix!

this was my favorite ad!

skate or die went hard, too(this is the nike marketing retread for the dunk, which was nostslgia, personified)

i still remember drawing or copying these shyt's, back then!!

Lucero killin it. my second board was a Lucero. this one:

I used to like to draw the rat bones all over everything

 

[Art Barr]

Natas was the man back then. I remember he ollied that cow at Savanna Slamma or whatever. there was all that talk that his name was 'satan' spelled backwards. I remember his story was that his parents though he was gonna be a girl and wanted to name him Natasha. but then he said 'fukk it' and ran with it with that 101 deck

i'm glad my pops took me to cop a deck.
lol, if moms saw a deck like this,...i know she wasn't going.

great memories, from this shyt.
me and my guy used to keep thrashin from getting rented at visions.
he would get it on the weekend i did not get it.
we watched thrashin' on fukkin' loop!!
i remember he was younger.
so he still got to skate and i still saw gleaming the cube with him.

it was a dream for your room to be like the one in that movie!

I grew up skating with Jim Gagne (w mass represent) and he introduced me to Lucero at the ASR one year. dude was on his elvis/johnny cash steeze, all drunk with two blonds holding him up. I was psyched
