Steve Fauser...

So, I was at a play it again sports last week in St. Charles, IL. 60174... and saw this used deck with soem autographs on it. One of them, I swear says "Steve Fauser."
I sent this pic to a mutual friend [Jeremiah] with no text, only the picture and he immediately wrote back "Steve Fauser? Did you send this to him?"
I wrote him back saying "that's exactly waht I thought. You should send the pic to him and find out, I don't have his number."
I have yet to hear if this was his autograph, but I would like to think so. Just imagining a kid in this area who went to a demo and got stoked the way he skated enuff to get the courage to ask for his name forever on his grip tape.
Steve now rides for The High5 skateboards along with Steve Nesser and Preston Harper.
(The hurricane pic is taken at the elementary school by mai house, on street over.)

As of the end of this post I am listening to "Banshee Is Pissed" by Blisargon Demogorgon from the compilation album "Goblins Gathering" released in 2007.

Christopher Ian Burnett...

So, here's a pic of local Chicago boi Chris Burnett, who has few things in this video, taken B in the D around 2002.

There was a Toy Machine demo at this skatepark just outside of Chicago called Triple -R, and they let soem of the local good guys skate during a "best trick" contest, Chris was one of them.

Here he is just getting into a Crooked Grind on the tall hubba.

I also have a pic soemwhere of Steve Fauser (now on High5) from that dei doing the saem trick, that dei Steve won best trick by doing his Crook across the flat and down.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Up Jumped The Devil" by Ronnie Dawson from the album "Monkey Beat!" released in 1994.
Saaah-Weeet Rockabilly.
