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.

he has a penchant for stabbing people in the leg. But what's not to love. This is really good marketing for the sick boyz dvd.

Another good one Chops! Peep this thing I wrote a while back about Mickey and growing up in SF. They posted it on 48 Blocks a while back.

Ahh, I forgot about those Ellesse shoes.

I spent a summer in SF in 1989 and was thrilled to discover the Ellesse store downtown, near where I was temping.

I stopped in to ask about those high tops. The lady in the shop said they only made them for a while, they never sold well, and skateboarders came in and bought them all for cheap.

That BART station bank-to-wall is SO stylish.
