At the time I thought, like J-Roth, that they only wanted to make room for Berra.<br /><br />Of course, this was at a time when skaters were under fire for being a bunch of sedated mosquitoes (if I got that quote right, I thing Phelps or Ed titled their front-piece "Skateboarding is Dead" or something; it had a backside air as the photo.<br /><br />Oh well. It was the addition of rules that alienated me from anything but soul-skating.

For some reason Santa Cruz flew me up to that contest on a Tuesday and I had like 3-4 days to just skate the city solo. The people doing the contest said they needed someone to skate for the local news so I did, but I didn't know there wouldn't be any obstacles to skate, just flat. So I did a damn 10 minute long flatground demo. I didn't know anyone ever saw it. <br />HMC- bitter old Chuck, let's see you hit the rails too homie! ha.Rothmeyernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-74335113500832643882012-06-05T10:30:20.184-07:002012-06-05T10:30:20.184-07:00Olsen's front foot on that inward kickflip is ...Olsen's front foot on that inward kickflip is beyond amazing.<br /><br />The attack ads in those 2 or 3 years definitely made things entertaining. Blind vs Powell, World vs Foundation, Foundation vs Santa Cruz.<br /><br />I remember seeing some of those Rocco Foundation boards cuz the wood was like Prime wood. It was so distinct back then... top two plies were coloured, concave, thinner board thickness. Foundation was World wood in the beginning and then they had split off on their own. Then these boards come out with the same wood. I thought they went back. I never knew it was actually Rocco making fake Foundation boards.<br /><br />I always liked how stoked Rothmeyer was on Starwars.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05247567303761398738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-67599257258634685682012-06-05T09:00:28.669-07:002012-06-05T09:00:28.669-07:00This is awesome!
