I met those two at a skate camp in W Massachusetts in 1990 when Real first started, in fact, the very camp featured in the New Deal video "Useless Wooden Toys," and had a similar experience. At one point Tommy G called me out by name to ask me to get out of his way as we was rolling up to the funbox hip to blast one of those kf melon grabs, and I was so fucking stoked. "Shit- he knows my name, I must be ripping," I thought. Then I realized my friend had written my name in graffiti lettering on my shoe. Crestfallen, I rolled over toward the bank-to-curb apparatus and tried to lipslide-50-50-lipslide-smith, or something like that, and slipped and shot my board straight back and hit Jim T while he was sitting drinking a coffee at one of the cafeteria tables on the other side of the wall from the skate area (it was a roller rink). All I wanted to do was impress those dudes, and I just humiliated myself. To this day, I still fan out on them. Congrats Real on 20 years, keepin it...yeah, Real.jjcheneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079603245454829992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-47420684364394063502011-11-22T19:11:14.444-08:002011-11-22T19:11:14.444-08:00Great post!
