chrome ball incident #726: gloria

To this day, I've never seen half as many leopard print garments at the skatepark like I did for an entire month after this interview came out. Anything "mob" instantly became the object of ridicule and fourteen-year-olds wouldn't shut the fuck up about hammer-this and hammer-that.

...I guess that's the mark of a good article.

Classic Greco Pro Spotlight from '01.

"I just hold on. I just try to make it. Committed."

Locomotive lip technician not afraid to fucking eat it, Ben Schroeder.

Style king of the week!

Grosso captures it pefectly:

"As gnarly and as death as possible, that's Schroeder."

...and yes that is Gonz up there on what I can only imagine as the losing end of a Big Ben entanglement but according to Ben, they both made it. Thanks Schroeder!

chrome ball incident #724: sht sound

Definite overkill on this one but fuck it, nothing gets me giddier than the impending release of a Choco/Girl video.

See a few heads appearing in the trailer that I honestly wasn't so sure about. Stoked.

Who's part are you looking forward to the most?

...and remember when you could get away with doing tricks on 3-stair rails?

Special thanks to Mark Whiteley, Rob Brink, Allen Ying, Sergei Trudnowski, the other Anthony Pappalardo (who sent me his book that I'm currently digging on) and chrome baller Mika (who must've worked his ass off to interview Alex Moul on Facebook).

Thanks for all the support out there.

Be back on Wednesday. Currently in transcription hell.
