I'm a bit bummed it "only" lasted 80 minutes, cause I could easily watch a 100 hour Documentary on John. Thankfully Chops has put up a bunch of posts on him. I fucking love John Cardiel! He is pure joy on Skateboard. He has done so many gnarly things in Skateboarding, but for me the gnarliest thing he has done is... not give up. After his accident he could have. He could have believed the Doctors, when they said he'd never walk again, but he didn't. I love that John kept fighting and is able to ride his board again. He gives me hope. I'm a Skateboarder, I'm also Physically Disabled and in recent years I've had many Health issues that led to a few setbacks that have caused me to louse a lot of the "ability" I did have. I have not been strong enough to Skate since these setbacks. I'm not looking for pity. I only mention this because John Cardiel & his story inspired me to keep trying. I for the first time in a very long time feel (with a lot of hard work) I will Skateboard again.<br /><br />ALL HAIL CARDIEL!!!<br /><br />Thank You John,<br />BifThe Notorious B.I.F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16641635879314411051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-89579882766631763842010-05-06T16:47:51.238-07:002010-05-06T16:47:51.238-07:00Incredible.

And once again, thanks to Cards for doing this. <br /><br />If someone would have told me 2 years ago when I started CBI that it would lead to things it has, I would've laughed in your face. <br /><br />How do I plan to top this? I don't. Its all downhill from here. <br /><br />Ben, email me. Considering this site is largely a love letter to both DLX and Girl, I'd be down for anything. <br /><br />Anon2, thanks man. Means alot. I hate pointing shit out like that cause i think it seems arrogant but you're right. Its just me (well... and now Cards). Though I do at times enjoy people thinking I am more than one person... in a madlib/kool keith kinda way. <br /><br />And since we're on the subject of rumors, yes i do have a full-time day job... a soulcrushingly dull one that doesn't pay shit and that I hate with all my being (sound familiar? we have so much in common.) i don't do this for free cause I have money, I do it for free cause I have really bad business sense.<br /><br />Thanks Stone and Kirby. Thanks everyone. <br /><br />P.S. that Chany post a few months back...

This is simply awesome. <br /><br />John, thanks for doing this. Its always interesting to learn what inspired those who themselves are inspiring. We certainly share some heroes and some favorite pics/ads. That Gonz Alcatraz shot in particular, to me, always representing what skateboarding is - a location that was so obviously not intended to be skated being turned into a spot that would inspire thousands of skaters. Since first seeing this pic 20+ years ago, every time I heard the word Alcatraz I thought of Gonz ripping that tranny, not the hopelessness that usually comes with thinking of prison. Like you said, "magic". <br /><br />Keep inspiring, brother.mikebythesunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-63661839647613537022010-05-01T08:26:18.805-07:002010-05-01T08:26:18.805-07:00wow, what an honor to be mentioned by john cardiel...wow, what an honor to be mentioned by john cardiel. john and julien were and are two of my favorite skateboarders, they are the true essence and embodiment of what it truly means to be a skateboarder at heart, so deep it is the lifeline of their souls. john hit the nail on the head with julien schooling me on how to just lay back and cruz and ooze with style. <br />thanks for the compliments. thanks for the interviews and articles and thanks for hosting this blog. such a great read every time.<br />~richardr.kirbyhttp://bigmessskateboards.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-74030647075008883052010-04-30T15:51:31.720-07:002010-04-30T15:51:31.720-07:00Tim Jackson... that's a name from the past.

There he was, just like in Speed Freaks. And Tim Jackson was there, too- there were waist-high planters on the sidewalk, and he was doing layback wallride rock n rolls... it was strange to see that at a strip mall in Georgia.Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07102150113721711187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-90745807030807990502010-04-30T12:48:02.347-07:002010-04-30T12:48:02.347-07:00yessss! enjoyed looking and reading. cardiel, you ...yessss! enjoyed looking and reading. cardiel, you are my favourite skater and are such an inspiration. you show that you can do anything if u just put your mind to it :) i am a girl n i never thought id be a skater this time a year ago and now i am. i have done some drawings of you too, one of which is on my blog somewhere, i have just done another one i will scan it and post it soon. www.alanasartwork.blogspot.com<br />thank you John Cardiel :) xHarriet Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01680450903018950194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-7724141402602601242010-04-30T12:10:05.740-07:002010-04-30T12:10:05.740-07:00Amazing!
