chrome ball incident #579: serious inquiries only













admittedly a little weird seeing grosso and lucero part ways...

regardless, seeing mothra on anti-hero these days has me sporting the biggest cheshire cat grin.

stoked on this.

big up to skateboarder and my man uc in japan.

man, there's this great little photo in the january '90 thrasher of grosso + lucero freewheeling it buttboard style on the same plank. whatever the nature of the break-up, thanks for the mammaries.

His big anti-hero board looks good. Still waiting for the Frankly Speaking.

This made me look for a Tom Knox chrome ball... then I got bummed.

on that note... i can't believe there's no late eighties era chet thomas up in here yet either!!! sick post though... i appreciate all the hard work. grosso STILL rips!

Great post. It'd be cool if that 540 sequential was clickable/enlargeable (at least I think it's a 540)...

thanks guys.

i second that Frankly episode, smorales.

croupier, cbi is still a work in progress. if everyone i intend to do a post for already had one, there would be no more need to update it.

anon2, i have to ask... why does it have to be "late eighties era chet" and not just "chet"? just wondering.

pinkwater, blogspot fucked up the upload. should be fixed now. sorry about that.

thanks sammy.

re: chet... i dunno guess that's when i thought of him as being rad/relavent, like in a young kid ripper kinda way. fuck, that shared part in public domain where they all skate to that mcrad song still hypes me to go skate. i kinda became indifferent to him after the powell golden era. publix era stuff was kinda under the radar for me and i wasn't overly hyped with the hardflippin a-team era chet either. dude ripped then too tho. i was just surprised you hadn't posted on him yet... not that you wouldn't in the future! thanks again for all the hard work dude. really enjoy this site a lot

always had respect for grosso through the years, but 10 fold after these words: http://www.strangenotes.com/video/374674977001/
