chrome ball incident #751: train in vain

"I see myself as Linus, carrying a skateboard around like some kind of security blanket."

Saw this dude at a demo in 1990 where some kid asked Rodney Mullen for his "secret" of doing powerslides. The most technical skater in the history of skateboarding and that's the trick this kid asks about. Powerslides.

...I thought Rodney's brain was going to short-circuit.

Anybody out there been able to see that Bones Brigade doc yet? Can't wait to check that thing out.

Had a nice week off even though I pretty much worked on CBI stuff every night anyway. How you been?

Big up to Jenkem, FFL, Kick to Kill, TWS, Rob Sissi, O'Dell and Justin Regan.

chrome ball incident #501: that's incredible

figured rodney would just about be the only way to follow-up yesterday's tony post.

...and you pretty much always have to bring this one up too:

that's a whole lotta tricks right there.

definitely stoked on this... (though I gotta admit his missing tooth kinda bugs me out)

and also, make sure to check out Brooklyn Banks week over Quartersnacks. one of my favorite sites going... should be pretty rad.
