chrome ball incident #841: to be cheerful













Figured it was about time to dust off some oldies but goodies from one of the all-time most underrated dudes, Matt Reason.

RAW.

60mm wheels and a quality switch push in 1995? Forget about it.

Was finally able to see the Bones Brigade doc last week which I thoroughly enjoyed. Couple of curious decisions made in there for sure but overall, really great. What did you guys think?

Big up to Deaflens (working on it), Daher, Tempster, Brink, Scumco, Rob E Beats and Nieratko.

And just because Sandy isn't all up in the news as much anymore doesn't mean things aren't still fucked up back East. Hats off to NJ Skateshop for leading the charge. Email these guys to see what you can do to help: steve@njskateshop.com or chris@njskateshop.com

Thanks and love to my family and friends.

What happened to Matt Reason? I heard a rumor about him being in a psych ward or something.

OG Pittsburgh ripper... I saw him do a 5-0 to fakie, break his kingpin in the grind and still rode it to fakie on just his baseplate.

I think he got Lyme disease and it really damaged his joints.

Chops, just saw Bones Brigade as well. Very cool, to hear it told like that. I hear you on some curious moments of course, but overall, really good. Particularly liked all Stecyk moments and many Glen E. lines.
And yeah, Matt Reason rips!
