chrome ball incident #437: primitive plus















"What I'm trying to say is: it's not baseball, pal. We don't live by wins and losses... that's someone else's dream, not mine. " -NB

Curious sign of things to come... transworld's first street symposium article from 1986.

Had a lot of requests for this after I posted up its '90 counterpart last week. Lots of naysayers out there.

I feel it should be stated that the term "street" is applied here about as broad as possible since the form was still in its infancy. So if the inclusion of some of these dudes strike you as a little odd (Ffej, Gator, Stacey... those downhill dudes from Future Primitive with the puffy gardening gloves), its because street skating as a whole really hadn't figured itself out yet. Note that half the photos in this article don't even involve ollies.

Stoked on the early Gonz, Natas, and TG flicks... and its nice to finally see some GSD up here (i've been working on his post for a few months now... still not happy with it).

And Blender's answers are still amazing quarter of a century later.

This is begging to be brought up...

Big up to JC, Jaycee, JRog, Royce and that dude at Pizza Jesus who gave me a free slice just for knowing who Tanya Morgan is.

Thanks for all the support everyone. Seriously.

chrome ball incident #431: point of no return















Transworld's classic second Street Symposium from 1990, featuring most of street skating's top new dudes at the time. And Steve Saiz.

Definitely stolen a few shots from this already but thought the entire article was worthy of a post.

I remember losing my mind when this came out back in the day. 16 full pages of nothing but street seemed absolutely majestic back then.

Look for the first version of this article from 1986 soon enough.

special thanks to the Tap.
