Granted he's a little younger than I usually go on this thing but Bobby Worrest has always been a personal favorite of mine and with this being the 5-Year Anniversary of the Chrome Ball Incident, I wanted to showcase a skater that would've been far "too new" to include on the site when it first started.
This project was only supposed to last, at most, a couple of months before eventually burning out and fading away... but 5 years and almost 900 posts later, here we are. Still talking about old shit.
Thank you keeping this thing alive.
happy anniversary and thanks for so much!
ReplyDeleteDaily inspiration. Props to chops, keep going bro.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the longevity!
ReplyDeleteThat interview that is supposed to wrap up cbi is gonna be out of date by the time you post it!
Happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI'd be lost without The Incident.
Love the incident and also Bobby! Big up to chops!

ReplyDeletelight years ahead with documenting the past
Thanks guys.
ReplyDeleteHang in there, Stephen!
Hang in there, Stephen.
ReplyDeleteWorrest is dope. I've always thought he's so underrated, but the dude rips and seems like he just doesn't care. Refreshing.
Happy anniversary, Chops. I love what you do; keeps us all thoroughly entertained.
Happy anniversary! Also, I don't even know who this kid is. God, I am getting old.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Congrats on the 5 year mark.
ReplyDeletehappy birthday CBI! Thanks for the stoke!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on hitting the five year mark!
ReplyDeleteYour interviews are some of the best skateboarding journalism in a long time.
Chops,
ReplyDeleteAs always, killer stuff. Thanks for what you do, cant stress that enough. As soon as I sit down in the morning at work, I pour the coffee, fire up the Dell, and log onto CBI to get the day started. Big ups!

ReplyDeleteThanks for all you do Chops! Best blog on the web!!
ReplyDeletePlease keep this blog going. It means so much to me. When I was younger I used to skate with Brian Chung and had lost touch with him. A few years ago I googled his name and your blog popped up. Seeing all his old ads almost brought tears to my eyes. Ever since then I have checked your blog daily.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the memories.
P.S.
A post about early nineties clothing companies would be neat.
Til Infinity !!! Very good job as always. Keep doin ur thing the world is listening, i mean reading. Peace from France.
ReplyDeleteSeems fitting to have Bobby Worrest for this special post. He is that rare breed who didn't 'Try' to go pro. It just happened. He ripped, people noticed, nuff said.
ReplyDeleteChrome Ball is similar; A personal project with no grand intentions. Sharing slices of this life we call skateboarding. Don't stop.
G'dam that switch back tail photo is too awesome.
Remember being soo stoked on that back tail photo when it came out. Such a great shot. Bobby rips!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 5 years!
congrats chopps glad you keep talking about old shit because there's nothing new really worth talking about in skateboarding w the exception of a few things that generally remind us of the past anyways.....
ReplyDeleteThis is the closest thing we have to a history book for skateboarding. Thank you so much for all your time and effort. If you ever need an intern or any help Id be grateful to help contribute.
ReplyDeleteCongrats and thank you.
