chrome ball incident #466: work












its taken way too long to get the beast from the east up in here.

not afraid to go big or come with the slick tranny skills... and always looked good doing so.

plus, he'll bust your ass.

always loved this part.

good to see kenny back in the mix.

Damn, that was my favorite part in 3rd eye view also, I was so stoked he skated to Gangstarr. Went so well. He is massive, a B.A. type, incredibly smooth. Tell you what, I cannot WAIT to see some new footage from
K-hugs.
Glad you mentioned his trick selection, he's got it all, even in his world tour part he's got that sick back180 fake 5-0 on that bump to flatbar with the beanie w/pom-pom. It's as fresh as Gino!

nice! Dude is a monster for sure. I wonder what happened to him the past several years... he had the Blind bro board last year and now an Arcade pro model.

His mini ramp shit in Underachievers was straight up smooth.

I don't remember it word for word, but he had that great Big Brother quote that was like, "Hey, not all black people smoke weed!" when someone on the staff offered him some. I don't know why I remember that, but I always thought it was really funny.

On one of those Larry Perkins calls to DC he's talking to one of the ladies in the office about Kenny Hughes and the lady says something like "oh he's such a respectful sweet young man" in like a grandmother's tone of voice. It always sticks out now when I hear Kenny Hughes' name.

Hell yeah, Kenny on the Chrome Ball!

Some of those mini-ramp photos must've looked crazy in real life! Dude is massive in person. Makes an 8" look like a freestyle board in some of his old parts.

He healthy, we filming a full length...fuck an "episode."

Working on a lot of little webprojects as well...but I digress.

Thanks for the link to Arcade, Chops! Keep killing it doggie!

I borrowed 3rd Eye View from you in 9th grade. Skated to his part everyday before I went out. Hopefully you got it back! Skated in khakis too.

R.I.P. Guru

didn't know hughes was gonna be on Aesthetics right before it got swallowed up by zoo... very interesting.

anonymous, b.a. is a really good comparison man. never thought of that way...

thanks JRog... critics drown in they sinks, kid. haha Thanks for the arcade link homie.

Beats, didn't we get that at Sunsports in C-Bus? Yeah, I still got it. And did I ever tell you I found that "lost" copy of Video Days that I spent blaming you for 5 years for? Sorry man. haha

And since we're on the subject, check out Jason's mission statement over there at arcade.

Would have paid money to see Kenny stomp Jereme Rogers when dude talked all that shit to him.

Kenny must have been laughing his ass off like a pitbull does when a chihuahua yaps at it.

Anyway, always liked big Hughes since New Deal days.
Also remember being really impressed with his transition skills when I saw all the mini ramp shit in those Eastern Exposure videos.

mission statement at arcade is awesome!

Keith said...

I can't find any clips on the web of the mini ramp shit. It was so good.
