Kind of like the GSD board. And like GSD, he was an early attempt to market a street skater, but he didn't have the skills of Gonz and Natas, so it kind of fell flat. <br /><br />He found some other ways to make his impact....pure genius.Gileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18369718122637103319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-82612162617767753512011-11-16T22:17:09.993-08:002011-11-16T22:17:09.993-08:00Question: Where is Chris Branagh now and what the ...Question: Where is Chris Branagh now and what the hell is he doing?<br /><br />Also...what happened to that dude Jed who rode for World?Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328567058927319267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-44345923604055969952011-11-16T19:42:01.461-08:002011-11-16T19:42:01.461-08:00Oh...

I love that trick though: it's easy, feels/looks rad, and is still something most old crusty Nyjah Huston Rise and Shine hatin geezers can pull. Haha, kidding a little... I was really impressed with Nyjah's skills but I doubt a vast majority of skaters will be watching that in ten years from now reminiscing about it like gonz's part in video days. I guess you can say that about any modern video part though...

I don't know the full dynamic of what transpired between Rocco and his family or how much of a brat he really was but he was rippin it up at a young age for sure. You can't deny that. <br /><br />Fuck... My word verification is "inuout"<br /><br />Hahaha, I guess that sums it up.stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14543529348746598530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-64468179694155801942011-11-16T16:24:17.660-08:002011-11-16T16:24:17.660-08:00"Should he make a comeback after all he's..."Should he make a comeback after all he's created?"<br /><br />No way.

I di...I like that SMA Rocco Division logo as well. I didn't really care for it back then but I dig it now.<br /><br />Who is that in the first shot?<br /><br />In that hotel ollie pic... is that a freestyle board? It looks too big but the board looks way too straight and symmetrical for a full size deck back then.<br /><br />That FTC ad with Henry and Branagh... was that pre-Real for Henry? Am Henry?<br /><br />I remember our shop got one Branagh pro model (the one with the thugs throwing him over a bridge) and a dude I skated with bought it! He shaved off the graphics though lol<br /><br />The transition of World from Rubbish Heap to Love Child was drastic... basically a complete reboot. Slowly turn over the majority of the team and replace with a bunch of new kids. Didn't know what to expect. None of those guys had much coverage aside from Jovontae. Watching the new generation in Love Child was pretty nuts. 92 was crazy... Questionable, Pack of Lies, Love Child. All with Rocco's fingerprints on them.<br /><br />The impact of Rocco Division SMA had a lot to do IMO with timing and the general state of skateboarding at the time. The transition from vert to street popularity and the big 5 (or 3 or 4) non-skater owned companies cornering the industry, something had to give. Who knows when a shift of this proportion will happen again.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05247567303761398738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-46933465953751406932011-11-16T04:22:33.293-08:002011-11-16T04:22:33.293-08:00I know this is going to piss off a lot Christians ...I know this is going to piss off a lot Christians when I say/write this...
