chrome ball incident #725: crash test dummy

"I just hold on. I just try to make it. Committed."

Locomotive lip technician not afraid to fucking eat it, Ben Schroeder.

Style king of the week!

Grosso captures it pefectly:

"As gnarly and as death as possible, that's Schroeder."

...and yes that is Gonz up there on what I can only imagine as the losing end of a Big Ben entanglement but according to Ben, they both made it. Thanks Schroeder!

chrome ball incident #415: accident-prone

had an avalanche of requests for Big Ben following last week's Grosso post... and after the verbal beatdown Jeff gave today in the comments page, I couldn't have been more stoked on the idea.

seriously-underrated vert dog known for his innovative lip work and eerily-prophetic ads...

after vert's demise in the early 90's, ben was involved in a head-on auto collision where the driver of the truck he was in fell asleep behind the wheel. schroeder broke his back and fell into a coma for 10 days.

ben, who's last label graphic before the accident was a crash test dummy (i think), made a full recovery and still rips today.

big up to gio and my man royce.
