I BUY SKATEBOARD

Ha, incidentally I happened to come across this today too (skip to the end of you think you're too good for a minute and a half of totally lovely Jahmal Williams footage - as if there's any other kind)

jahmal sold me a board last year - rad dude

xxpost: Good call on Public Domain, Vallely, Barbee & the rest of second-generation Bones Brigade. I totally forgot about them, but they were def right there with the H-Street crew back then. I dunno about Mullen, tho. Don't get me wrong, he is A+++, but I'm pretty sure he was still doing mostly straight freestyle at that time. That Plan B clip has to be from about 92/92, right?

from wiki:

His tenure at World Industries marked the beginning of a shift in his skating career from freestyle to street skating. He left the World Industries team to join Plan B, a super team made up of some of the high profile pros of that time. Throughout this period Mullen was learning from his idol Mike Ternasky, the Plan B founder, to adapt his freestyle skating form. This approach was first seen in the 1992 Plan B video Questionable, and ushered in a new era of street skating that took freestyle tricks which were traditionally done without rolling, or at slow speeds in a confined flat area, to a more varied terrain, often at speed and incorporating obstacles.

Loving all these clips , guys!!!

risers: useful or posers only

(briefly) skated with Steve Caballero day after Thxgiving at killllll skate park... i am SO BAD, my backside style is esp weak, embarrassing myself. stayed in the 2 pools and the FULL PIPE lol almost exclusively. is anyone besides la big vic or ddb doing any shralping these days?

i got on a skateboard after a few (really strong belgian) beers a month or so ago and just tried to do a simple 180 ollie and was on the ground. pretty amazing.

big up the nurdz

pretty much given up on any tricks (except LOL powerslides) when i go skate these days ... if i can bomb a hill or two without breaking bones i call it a good day

finally bought a deadstock traveler to accommodate my new, uh, style

there was a latino kid in chicago that always used to come by the bike shop with his shitty wal-mart skateboard and ask dudes to do tricks for him. when i moved to mpls i gave mine to him, so hopefully he is shredding

am SO BAD, my backside style is esp weak, embarrassing myself.

so basically u r such a crap sk8er that, when u launch into an aerial maneuver on a vertical ramp or bowl, u are unable to do so w/ the proper degree of finesse. yeah dude u sound like a goddam poser! Steve Cab must have been super-embarassed on yr behalf, at least before he invited you over to his crib to listen to some records by JFA & The Faction.

youtube of shasta grabbing air or it didn't happen

2 and a half weeks ago I celebrated the 10th anniversary of the day I got me first board! For the record I went skating this morning and spent 20 minutes watching skate videos last night, so things are still healthy!

And you want to talk about being bad at skating? I could put any of your inabilities to shame like no thang.

Oh my God, those William Spencer videos still are absolutely shocking, amazing, and immensely entertaining well after already having seen them. That man deserves a Nobel Prize.

for real. i just watched again cuz of yr post and was still O_O

^ what he said. feel so old.

Huh, what did I do with that skateboard. I guess I was too old. Am I too old to learn guitar?

music like this to pull heartstrings needs to chill, but vid's cool

What, how are there two legless skateboard virtuosi?
I think its pretty incredible that there's more people, in addition to Og De Souza doing this (although Og is crazy. Dude's 50-50ed 20 stair rails(!!!)).

Slam videos, and the people who love them, are generally extremely lame. But that one clip with the fullpipe rolling down the hill is pretty lawl.

i saw a video recently called something like "skater hunting season" and it was videos of people shooting huge guns and then cutting quickly to a skate slam. it was pretty funny, but i can't find it anymore

ah, remembered where i saw it. so great

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg63r0vx9Jo

also, i want a ghillie suit more than anything else in this world

ok i normally don't like slam vids but i am actually cackling with glee over here. and yes: want a ghillie suit so bad. i think i might make one for halloween!!

I thought the skate hunter thing was kind of funny. Stuff like "dumbass sacks nuts on skateboard" Ha-Ha type stuff though is just fuck off, though.

having actually sacked my nuts (broken wrists, twisted ankles) on a skateboard, slam vids make me feel actual, physical pain in remembrance. so yeah, total dud. Sk8-snipers are lol tho.
