chrome ball incident #894: who caresville

"I gotta get the fuck outta New York."

The '04 S.O.B. Tour featuring Uncle Freddie, Little Alex, Mehring's Bearings and our tour guide, Dill.

...Danny Renaud wasn't invited but came along anyway. So good.

Sorry for the unannounced absence yesterday... turned out to be quite an epic day here at the CBI Stacks. 10-year-old Chops would've been quite proud of 35-year-old Chops. One day I'll be able to tell you about it...

Regardless, former Alien resident and friend of the site John Drake recently started his own little board company called Animal Skateboards that you should definitely check out and support. Lots of good stuff coming soon from these guys.

"I was knocked out only to be woken up hours later by a security guard saying, 'Hey, man, you can't be sleeping here.'"

A real piece of work, it'd be good to see Danny Renaud out there ripping again.  

This part still kills.

In other news, stoked on Pops. Looks like fun.

Really digging this, too. (didn't Thiebaud have a Waldo-type graphic)

I'd also like to send a special thank you to Skin Phillips and the folks at Transworld Skateboarding who were generous enough to donate literally every back issue I was previously missing for use in the Chrome Ball Stacks. Super rad.

#700 coming soon!?! Holy shit.

Keep your head up, Beats.

chrome ball incident #584: the dirt

Infamous antics both on and off his board, I hope Danny is doing well out there and gets back in the game soon enough. Skateboarding needs assholes like him.

Always dug this part. This one, too.
