"Mike’s always been Mike. You gotta give him credit. He’s always been into his own thing and he’s always been on his own. He’s really driven, dedicated and stubborn… in a good way." -Dune

Never Forget.

Golden-era interview from Poweredge, 1989... amongst other goodies.

chrome ball incident #746: diary of a madman

Not Alex Olson's Dad.

A personal favorite back in the day before dude decided to leave our universe entirely. 

Another one of skateboarding's hip-hop casualties... the Crazy Monk, 90's Steve Olson.

Forgot how he used to dismantle Hubba Hideout. So sick.

Nowadays we just use this guy and non-oneISM Josh Beagle to confuse the shit out of anybody under the age of 25. Teenage kryptonite.

Big up to Ned Hadden and Andy Howell.

chrome ball incident #745: zimmerman

"He came up from Panama and was gnarly commando-style: sleeping in the park and just getting by but full-on skating. He loved to skate and I loved to skate so we started hanging out all the time, just being street rats. We’d sneak into the movies or into night clubs. He was always down for whatever." -Jahmal Williams

Was always a fan of this part... but this one is seriously bonkers.
 
Such a sick style.
 
Be back Thursday.
