They were sick when they had real rippers like we had in the 80s like Hartsel and The Mess but I don't know maybe I'm a old fart but then all of those little wheels yo yo half-tard dopes came in and ruined that company and skateboarding. Tricks are for kinds haha. Ya I only kind of remember Dune but he was solid didn't skate like some rapper monkey.

We caught wind that a local shop was hosting an autograph session w/the Stereo team. Naturally we bought all of our old Stereo and Blue videos and gear with us. Jason Lee and Dune were so tripped out that we had all this hsit that they presented both of us with decks autographed by the whole team. Jason and Dune? Two of the nicest bros ever<br /><br />On top of that I met a very beautiful girl who became my girlfriend while waiting in line. We broke up a year later.

Whenever you would come across a skateboarder who was riding a stereo board, you'd assume they were cool and had a chill personality. It was part of their whole vibe. Now that stereo is "blowing up" and being seen everywhere, from little kids to scumbags, I think it's time for me to move on. Bittersweet how you want a company to be successful, but when they're finally "making it", it's just a different feeling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-73729983063062185172010-11-25T11:37:53.323-08:002010-11-25T11:37:53.323-08:00Well don E!
