chrome ball incident #199: yeah, you know.











Q: "You know about life, right? Why don't you summarize it for me in 17 words exactly?"

A: "Oh yeah. Just like a beehive, alot of action, and for what? Survival, that's the bottom line."

this Thrasher interview is even before my time but i took one look at that cover on ebay and was sold. the top and bottom (some personal faves) are from transworld a few years later. figured i hadn't put up any Neil in a while so I thought I'd sneak some in before chrome ball incident #200.

now I realize that this 200th post isn't such a big deal anymore as I've found myself getting more and more carried away with the size of these things since chrome ball #100... but I still think it'll be pretty rad.

You can NEVER go wrong with Neil Blender---the guy had and still has style for miles....a true legend.

I remember that pic with the negative cat. Great shot.

And that front rock looks so sick!

Interview is before my time as well.

If Blender started a company now, it would be so legit.

Thanks for this post right here, my homie nb is one of the best ever to be on a skateboard and that's not even talking about his skateboard ability.

And to the earlier post by Keith, he did help start a company, Alien Workshop, he did graphics, photo, music, and film/video originally (check out Memory Screen) but then...yeah i'll let him tell that story.

Hey!

It's John Drake! How cool. Always enjoyed your skating. I know Blender was one of the main dudes that started Alien (I have been skating since 1988) but these days, he has little/nothing to do with it.

I was just saying... if he started a company now in 2009, with all the old school nostalgia going around these days, it would be so sick!
