Matt Hensley: Legend...

So, "Here is the video that was shown to honor Matt for his TransWorld Skateboarding 2010 Legend Award. It is made up of Matt's parts, ads and photos from over the years, and ends with Jamie Thomas coming up on stage and explaining why Matt is his favorite skater." - TransWorld Quote

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Conflict" by Green Nuns of the Revolution from the album "Rock Bitch Mafia" released in 1997 on Flying Rhino Records.

Free Lunch: Brian Lotti...

So, on this installment of Free Lunch they talk to Brian Lotti, an influence on skateboarding, if you don't know who he is then do your research. His part in the 1989 video Hokus Pokus is still amazing.

H-Street: Shackle Me Not...

...the last 15 minutes.

H-Street, Jason Rogers...

Lance Mountain, Independent Stage V...

So, this is the ad that got me to start riding Independent Trucks. At the time in 1987 I loved how Lance Mountain and Chris Miller skated, for soem reason this ad spoke to me, I had been riding Venture up until this point and I guess during the H-Street era of '89-'90 I did ride Gullwing Trucks. 

This was on my wall from a 1987 Thrasher Magazine.

Steve Caballero - Ban This...

So, in the spirit of the last post, I give you Cab's part from the video Ban This.
The guy makes love to this mini-ramp.
Oh, and how fitting, right now as I'm typing some music from another Powell-Peralta® video, Animal Chin, comes on iTunes... the track, "Chin Ramp IV" - okay it's over now. It was only a minute long.
Yes, I just gave away my typing speed right there. 30 WPM, not bad. I haven't progressed since 5th grade.
I idolized this guy growing up, one wall in my room was all Cabbed out. Well, actually a corner, due to a picture he had of a Nose-Bone over a hip, taken with a fish-eye, that looked soooooo good when placed into a corner.
Megadeth/Metallica on the South wall, Cab in the southwest corner & Various metal & skating on the West wall. (mostly H-Street riders, Natas, and Gonz).



As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Skate for the Devil" by The Bonless Ones from the album "Skate for the Devil" 1986.
