chrome ball incident #227: alive










"now this dude will beat the brakes off you." -clyzza.

good to be back. finally starting to feel halfway decent again and thought i'd serve up some fabian/mnc joints to show my gratitude. thanks for all the support out there.

and yes, z-roller has somehow made its way onto this thing... i'm blaming the cold medicine.

the chrome ball incident will return when your friend and humble narrator no longer feels like he is going to die.

ciao.

as for the rest of these ads: don't ask, don't tell

chrome ball incident #225: ye breadcrumb traile





special request from my man psychic chan... from about 6 months ago. whoops.

saw thomas at an alien demo back in '92. the whole team was there (minus pitre) and morgan absolutely ripped it... which made quite an impression cause at the time, he was known primarily as a vert skater. sure, the rest of the crew did their thing... but i just remember being completely blown away by morgan as he killed the course with this weird blank look on his face, not saying a word... in a pair of those ugly all-green nts airwalks.

and yeah, i had a pair.

big up to john drake and ron patrick.

chrome ball incident #224: in a silent way





the only dude on here that i know exactly how many things of his remain that i can scan for this site. the best.

had a shitty day so this one's as much for me as it is for you.

with this, this, and this, gino may be having the most-publicized week of his career. just sayin'.

chrome ball incident #223: you gots to chill








one of skateboarding's most innovative thinkers (both on and off his board), Andy Howell. a dude so far ahead of the curve, his bank account must be cursed.

skating with Gonz in the late 80's, learning to make beats with DJ Premier and starting a group with Lil' Jon in the early 90's, starting Underworld Element, helping out a young upstart named Shepard Fairey, and the list goes on and on.... dude's on some real-life Forrest Gump shit. check out his book, Art, Skateboarding and Life. recommended.

(no 1281 or skypager part... and only useless wooden toys in its entirety (17:56)... bummer
