chrome ball incident #280: sharks and sailors

I really think I'd just about kill someone for one of those o.g. dolls.

big, stompin, sequence-free post featuring the guy I originally had slated for incident #300 'til impatience got the best of me: B. A.

straight up, you can't fuck with this dude. (figured I'd save the small talk)

anyway, I got some vacation time coming up along with a birthday (yup, this geezer gettin' geezier) so I'm taking the next week off.

see you later. thanks for stopping by.

chrome ball incident #279: for those that slept

Not to say that I'm not totally stoked on the whole thing, but I knew as soon as I saw that ballot there were gonna be some discrepancies for Battle at the Berrics 2... and I really think the ball was dropped on a few heavies, this being one of them.

So it goes sometimes... petty grievances aside, still geeked.

Special thanks to Sissi.

chrome ball incident #278: raw power

West Chester brute who I had the privilege of seeing skate again over the weekend.

Always stoked on this dude...

chrome ball incident #277: its like that

got several requests for this one... underrated Embarko upstart with infamous pop and an even more notorious brother: marcus mcbride.

managed to pull out some real bangers while still keeping the devilman/flameboy presence at a tolerable level.

big up to my man dave ashley.

chrome ball incident #276: trampled under foot

went with some early joints from one of skateboarding's most influential who's seemingly more known for his sponsor-hopping than the amazing video parts he's been putting out for the better part of the last two decades.

i always thought this one (4:13) was kinda slept-on.

...still don't know what's up with those beads though.

#275: please please please let me get what i want

Look's like Guy's Laterd series included one last dummy smack for us in the form of a curveball from a refreshingly-motivated Iannucci. Fingers crossed.

This ain't Escape from New York... somebody get Strobeck on the horn.

Granted that so much has gone down, a full-strength/length part is a tall order... but at this point, I'd settle for a few more no-complies and a ho-ho plant.

Congrats to O'Dell and Grosso on an amazing job.

chrome ball incident #274: the evil that men do

"What do you think of the skateboard industry, Adam?"

"I really enjoy it."

adam mcnatt's '97 "comeback" interview... one of the rawest articles transworld ever had the nerve to publish. 13 pages of my man dressing up like a ninja, blasting bunny hops and holding absolutely nothing back on the skateboard world.

and this part is still pretty nutty.
