chrome ball incident #210: paranoid

Only Gabriel could get away with having only one skate photo in an almost 4-page article. Nice little Thrasher interview with Natas, Rudy and Paulo.

I figured I'd play it safe today. Thanks everybody.

chrome ball incident #208: sharp dressed man

90's ripper that never really got his proper due. clean style, solid trick selection and ridiculous color coordination... too bad he just couldn't have got hooked up on the era's fresher teams.

"I told you, Jimmy. That was for you!"

chrome ball incident #207: king of the wigflip

OG SF/CBS ripper, Deluxe Team Manager, Frisco Policeman and unappreciated Arizona Wig Shopper, Micke Reyes.

I guess I might've been distracted by Natas, Julien, and T.G. when I first saw Sick Boys way back when... but Micke totally killed it in that piece. Definitely underrated.

have a good weekend.
