chrome ball incident #501: that's incredible
















figured rodney would just about be the only way to follow-up yesterday's tony post.

...and you pretty much always have to bring this one up too:

that's a whole lotta tricks right there.

definitely stoked on this... (though I gotta admit his missing tooth kinda bugs me out)

and also, make sure to check out Brooklyn Banks week over Quartersnacks. one of my favorite sites going... should be pretty rad.

Nice follow up to the Mighty #500---and yeah, Rodney's busted grill creeps me out too...

Ha! "Removed duct tape from fingers - '91". Rodney is an inspiration, if anyone hasn't read his autobiography yet they really should. It's a great read.

That pic from the "freestyle is dead, or is it" is amazing.

thanks guys.

yeah k, i remember seeing a still photo of rodney doing that casper slide down that hip and wondering what the hell he was doing? still love that part... those dirty ass white shoes with the black sole, haha.

thanks ricks!

yeah, atm... his autobiography is definitely worth checking out... wish there was more world team/rocco stuff in there though

anon, that is late '96/early '97.

1up royce.

He explains the missing tooth in this vid, pretty anti-climactic actually: http://www.shredordie.com/video/dissent-tv-tony-hawk-with-1

Nonetheless - always shocked by how humble he is despite the fact that he really did invent a good portion of the basis of modern street skating.

Back from vacation. Catching up on all the posts!

The freestyle is dead article... great stuff!

Double dip was awesome!

I can remember a photo of him doing a trick in a public bathroom. Don't think I've seen it anywhere online.

That first footage of him skating a big board in rubbish heap was pretty cool.
