chrome ball incident #759: legacy of brutality



















"9 times out of 10 Carlsbad will not let you make it." -Jeremy Wray

I remember when the Big Carlsbad Gap was the most goddamn gigantic thing on Earth.

Another one bites the dust. R.I.P.

Granted there's a lot of Markovich in this one but there should be. He seemed like the only one who stepped to this place for years, ruling it with an iron fist (until this). It's only right that he got that last ollie in before demolition.

This post kinda sputters out somewhere in 2005 as basically the whole world went batshit crazy over this thing all of a sudden. But you probably have those magazines.

Wish I could've seen this thing in person. I kinda blew it on that one.

Starting to miss these marquee spots... some dude's TF just isn't the same.

Gotta say that I loved the coverage from @transworldskate and @blairlylegal last friday on instagram as the shit went down... from the final curtain call to Kris' last flight in the face of impending doom, it was pretty cool to watch everything unfold like that.

(@chromeball  if you're wondering... can't front, shit is fun)

and on a quasi-related note, just how far ahead of its time was ON Video? Incredible.
