This blog has given me more enjoyment then I can ever fully explain in a few sentences. I love revisiting all the classic moments of years past and learning insides scoop for the Pros, but most of all I've loved the friends I've been able to make through this blog (you included). I'm gonna miss the community we have here.<br /><br />Thank you so much for five years of hard work and good luck on you future projects.<br /><br />You'll be missed,<br />Bifthe_notorious_bifnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-58811260372151865022013-07-04T11:52:38.421-07:002013-07-04T11:52:38.421-07:00Chops has contributed more to skate culture with C...Chops has contributed more to skate culture with CBI than any other single individual that I can think of off the top of my head. Great selections of photos, features, and interviews. I'm 33 and started skating 1988-ish, and as a life long nerd I can say with certainty that this blog has provided me with a favorite outlet for nostalgia as well as perspectives on the modern age of skating. Also I was a SLAP contributor from 2001 until they went digital, and I'm stoked that Mark Whiteley has been a strong advocate and supporter of your work, Chops. That association goes a long way in my book. All the best, and thank you.Dustin Umbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930959307889115719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-88387479436703946122013-07-03T17:27:15.298-07:002013-07-03T17:27:15.298-07:00Wow.

Good taste and nice selection.<br /><br />I guess the first time I saw CBI was a link from bobshirt in one of the interviews... maybe Jeff Pang.<br /><br />I know how many false starts (or I guess stops) there have been to ending chromeball. Getting hacked all those years ago. Trying to figure out how to embed code to track website visitors. CBI shirts, shoes and boards. Your big move from Pitts to Portland. So happy for what CBI has parlayed for your career and life. Our paths will cross in person one day. <br /><br />I guess Acme week is never gonna happen.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05247567303761398738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-63621406502541564422013-07-02T06:55:31.720-07:002013-07-02T06:55:31.720-07:00Ah man this is sad.

I'd like to thank...THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES CHOP<br />I'd like to thank you from overseas Chop. <br />During all this years I truly appreciated going through all the scans/interviews, not only because they always reminded me of the "glory days" of Skateboarding but also because it made me feel that we (as skateboarders) are part of a community and that we are part of a large and great culture.<br />You did a such a great job collecting such great material (let alone scanning all the documents). I believe that CBI is followed not only by nostalgics skateboarding freaks like me, but also by the young ones. CBI has truly become part of our skateboarding community and you should be proud of that. <br />On a personal note, and as an old dude (way beyond his 40s), I truly appreciated the "BACK IN THE DAY" feeling of CBI, specially reading again the good ol' Big Brother interviews which always bring back a smile or a tear. <br />It would be very egoistic from us to ask you to continue this project forever and while I understand your reasons to stop CBI, it is with a little bit of sadness that I read your post. But then again, it is up to us, as skateboarders, to carry on the skateboard legacy.<br />So, again, THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES. God (or whatever that it is up there watching all of us) bless you. Long live CBI and of course SKATE 4 LIFE.<br />Peace. <br />KAYOTOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-49988282449264992652013-07-02T02:34:05.073-07:002013-07-02T02:34:05.073-07:00thanks for the flush of amazing nostalgia.i will c...thanks for the flush of amazing nostalgia.i will continue to visit the site for hidden gems.thanks from nz.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08691346053185506366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-5947362628964393822013-07-02T00:57:19.859-07:002013-07-02T00:57:19.859-07:00Cannot really add more to the comments already mad...Cannot really add more to the comments already made.
