so what was gonna be a thanksgiving article on the 80's contest. the upland turkey shoot, crapped out. i figured with everyone putting everything on you tube, it would make a nice holiday article. so i couldn't find nothing on it. so here we are. so this article will be about the skater of the year contest. me and crellin were thinkin of who it would be. it was a toss up...... gravette, cole, malto, busenitz, and peter hewitt. i was goin with cole, just cuz been murdering it. but crellin kept claimin gravette. so i watched his and now part........i think crellin was right.
------david gravette, 50-50 body varial on a hand rail. soty all over it.
------on the other hand, cardiel will always be the soty. just for living.
my brother vic wrote a song about it. but just in case you don't know here are a couple of rules. 1-shotgun is called, not given. 2-if a person is hurt after a session, shotgun goes to that person. 3-shotgun may only be called when it is time to head back to the vehicle. 4-if 2 or more say shotgun at the same time, then you ro-sham-bo for the seat. no 2 outta 3. first try only.
-----now with that in mind listen to vic chalker's advice in song.
i was searchin for some skate vids, to get me motivated to leave the house when i saw this. not sure what to make of it. but it's got some punk with animation. check it out.
-----have you ever had one of those moments when you remembered a old pal? well when i saw this video clip of ol' dirty on the revo site.i was pretty stoked. he went through a rough patch. but skateboarding and his homies, pulled him out. james is now a family man married and in his mid 30's also, he owns his own plumbing company and bought a house 30 miles away. once in a blue moon i will hear a rare sighting of him. i wish he would move back to rosa cuz, fun was always to be had when cutty james was around. if you watch the clip there are some other scumbags in there you might notice. so watch the style of ol' dity james. aka cutty. his back 3's are fukkin proper. skateboarding is forever, and forever james is a skateboarder.
so my buddy's mexi-matt and som, decided to start up a board company. shit is gonna cool. som is a good-ass artist and matt is the drive. so peep there little site here. right now they are workin on boards, but they got some shirts and tanks available so hit em up. oh yeah. oulk stands for one ugly little kid. ------GIRLS TANK. -------MEN'S SHIRT.
what can you say about a person that is one of a kind. you gotta just get the feel when you are in the same room. words cannot describe the rusczyk. i have known this dude for many years. always fun to skate with. he will make you try somethin even if you don't wanna. kinda like a personal motivator. so the whole time he lived in rosa he kind of fooled around with web type stuff. and now it got him a cool gig at sole-tech. mike also has his own site, it's pretty cool if you are not into the norm. check it here. it's called ofad. office of fine art and design. scope it out. and we all know he rips. so watch his re-edit clip.
what sucks is, the older i get the more i notice death. not only my mortality but those around me. even things that discarded by the social mainstream, that i think are cool. it all seems to have one thing in common. it eventually dies and most poeple could give a shit less. imagine to my surprise that the 80's legend captian lou albano had passed. shit i had the t.v. on last night and i heard nothing about it. i bet if that bitch kate from that t.v. show farted, everyone would know. imagine my surprise when i read it in the obituary of my local paper. for those of you who read this and don't know let me tell you. in the 80' the wwf had just came out. before all this over-produced bullshit now, that you call wrestling. that time period had fukken cool ass characters. and captain lou was one of them. shit wwf even had a cartoon in the 80's. bet most of you had no idea. well before i get all old and codgery, raise a tall for captian lou. that guy gave me and my brothers alot of kick-ass, brother time together watchin the ol' boob tube.
well they are finally here. the ofiicial board of the u.s.s.r. aka the united scumbags of santa rosa. with some chalker imagination and buttafukko capital. the shit is real. so you may wanna head down to brotherhood or revolution boardshop. even joey has em' down at endless summer i believe. anyways if you want one and cant' make it up here to our neck of the woods call 707-778-8520 and see what joey can do for ya. shit these things look good just sittin on the wall
sorry i have been laggin on my duties. i have been feeling like crap, fighting off this lame virus. hopefully i will come up with something soon. until then, enjoy the young ones. it seems the house is sick too.
