chrome ball incident #887: things done changed











"The older guys know me but the new kids don’t... But then when I start skating, they'll ask me, 'Are you pro?'"

Quick Tuesday update featuring the notorious Mr. Steven Cales.

Oh what could have been.

Big thanks to Quartersnacks.

Back smith photo is straight chillin. Dude was of special era of skating where your style was an extension of your being. Ive heard the hearsay stories and read the interviews and he seems pretty fucking real. Would i want to have a beer with him? probably not.But his style was tech and wild at the same time. Its safe to say that a Steven Cales nollie flip on flat could cut you.

Last summer I was commuting via public transport from North Hollywood out to the valley and saw Cales waiting for the same bus. He was wearing dgk gear and looked exactly the same as he does in the later photos. I was considering saying something to him, but had no clue what to discuss.
