Donny was actually super friendly and we chatted about nothing really. I tried to keep it cool but was totally fanning out on the inside. Needless to say, the session got heated and I got to see a few of Donny's alley-oop ollies first hand. I'll never forget that day!Skatelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16079456004926601363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-23420034419587572192011-07-12T09:55:23.127-07:002011-07-12T09:55:23.127-07:00Hands down, Barley has the best pop-shuvits.

I had just moved there about year prior and it was my local spot at the time. He was alone and so was I... Maybe Enice (local vb head) was there too but It was like a random weekday afternoon around 1996 or so. I had seen ee3 and knew who he was but it's funny because I'm from the north east coast too originally (I am/was a total nobody tho in the sk8 world) but i didn't know him from back in the day or whatever. Anyway, I was totally straightedge at the time and as we were sitting on one of the benches there talking he lit up joint and offered me a hit and for some reason I took it and smoked my first weed for quite some time haha. I ended up getting all wierded out and leaving so I could go stuff my face at the ralphs grocery store up the street. Aaahhh...

The Gullwing part with the fakie 360 flip revert ender. That's an awesome trick. Don't think I've seen anyone do that before. <br /><br />Also never seen that Get Familiar part. That was a fun watch. Lots of lines. I like the one he's riding on top of the narrow ledge.<br /><br />That mossy bank fs ollie looks great.<br /><br />Nollie switch bs smith is crazy too... did he get in fs nollie or bs nollie? Either way is good and you don't see often, if even ever. I know Willy Santos did them normal stance fs half cab.<br /><br />Underachievers blew my mind when it came out.

There was Donny Barley so focused filming his EE3 ender, the ledge was anything but smooth and the drop on the other side was fucking deadly. <br /><br />This was not a session, it was just someone conquering something, there were other guys around just hanging and watching so it wasn't too weird to sit back and witness.<br /><br />Seeing the end result blew my mind, especially because at the time any Boston coverage seemed surreal. <br /><br />I just saw Donny at Maloof and gave a nod as he's a friendly guy. No way he remembered me from the mid 90s in Boston, that's ancient history now, but the memory of that day hit me immediately. <br /><br />Around the same time, this little guy who skated wearing giant head phones visited Boston named Chad...they both left their mark.APhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00353876998487651277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-29396227367160342082011-07-08T05:10:00.863-07:002011-07-08T05:10:00.863-07:00great interview. the Check Out from 94 with the dy...great interview. the Check Out from 94 with the dye job was a treat.bugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12473922141298059875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-65031773197962914752011-07-08T03:16:44.696-07:002011-07-08T03:16:44.696-07:00Barley's got the best shapes on stock tricks l...Barley's got the best shapes on stock tricks like fs 180s, pop shoves, heelflips and 360 flips, skates faster than necessary and even some 15 years later, his EE3 and Welcome To Hell parts are still a joy to watch.ciaranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955389694508259941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-81032558039462063222011-07-07T22:22:47.280-07:002011-07-07T22:22:47.280-07:00I am so hyped that you interviewed one of my all-t...I am so hyped that you interviewed one of my all-time favorite skaters.
