chrome ball incident #522: tommyknockers

Figured I'd continue the 101 theme with McNatt's '93 TWS Pro Spotlight... before that rollercoaster mini-rail entered the picture.

(how did he cart that thing around anyway?)

McNatt's feature from Big Brother #5 is the bonus. Classic Natas layout.

Love the "Feel One O One" ad up top. Any idea who that is mugging it up in the flick?

Thanks for all the support out there. Big up to Rob, Josh and Dave.

And special thanks to my man Jon and the mighty Skate Mental.

chrome ball incident #274: the evil that men do

"What do you think of the skateboard industry, Adam?"

"I really enjoy it."

adam mcnatt's '97 "comeback" interview... one of the rawest articles transworld ever had the nerve to publish. 13 pages of my man dressing up like a ninja, blasting bunny hops and holding absolutely nothing back on the skateboard world.

and this part is still pretty nutty.

chrome ball incident #248: helter skelter

"Whatever you eat is pretty much what you shit out and who you are."

Never one to back away from controversy or pull any punches, for better or worse...

Where unpredictable meets unorthodox: Adam McNatt.

Classic Powell/101 era...

'cept for this one.

Interviews to come soon enough.

chrome ball incident #101: satan is a friend of mine

the obvious move. it was actually gonna be a natas interview but I couldn't resist. so damn good.

seriously, though... what's not to like here about natas's brainchild:

1. that evil-ass satan board

2. 5 classic video projects with a combined running time of about a half hour

3. classic rocco-flavored art direction with cliver, mckee, jenkins and kaupas

4. leigh peterson's intro

5. adam mcnatt before he started riding for those weird companies in the back of thrasher

6. markovich killing shit in some big-ass pants on a team he actually stuck with for more than 2 weeks

7. (an instructional tape) and snuff's packaging

8. lost frosty but added gino

9. gabriel being a fucking hermit.

10. got out before world started to fail... none of that wet willy/grim reaper shit.

that Marky Markovich joint still bugs me out to this day.

kept a few goodies in pocket for down the line but any 101 is good 101. I know yesterday I promised no more big posts for a while... blew it.
