Skateboarders Can Also Be Retro Game Nerds ...

kinda embarrassing to show that in here, but that was me first time on a sk8 after a good 10 year break. my friend borrowed me his deck at a game night. so I tried to pull off some old tricks without avail and my leather shoes.

That's right Turbo Expresses up in the house !! Paid sk8boarders have always had the cool toys ... Damn I had forgot about that part when I saw the documentary a few months back ... Too sick reppin that shit hard in 90' !!

@ galam .. You gotta watch Mariano's part on the new Girl and Chocolate video called Pretty Sweet !! His part on the Mouse video to date is still pretty epic .. Actually every freaken part that he has ever released is banging !! That dude has not slowed down at all over the years .. Vice.com has a really good Epicly later'd episode on his life and career in sk8boarding .. Gotta peep that one out also .. This is on of my favorite Guy Mariano Blind decks from back in the day ..

I ripped this out of Transworld years ago and held on to it ever since



Oh, and a couple from my collection...

That Hawk board is pretty sick, that was released around the time Ban This dropped if I remember correctly .. That nose looks crazy steep !! I was thinking about buying one of those Guy Mariano reissue decks .. It's a toss up between that one and the High Guy deck .. I'll probably end up getting them both once I have a chance to drop some cash on them .. Lately I've been trapped in this Pc Engine life .. Buying all types of goodies .. Good stuff galam ...

Yeah, I grabbed it a couple years ago when Blind released it.  I didn't see the High Guy one.  Did they do all the F'd Up Blind Kids?

hey HEY, Mariano, hey HEY Hey, Mariano.

Guy in Video Days

such a cute lil boy and yet a king of streets

where I met him the first btime

Hell yeah Tatsujin !! That little Mariano verse is from Ban This !! I use to hyme that all the time .. That part was super epic .. It was the first time I saw Rudy Johnson, Palo Diaz and Guy sk8n in the streets of LA .. They were the pioneers of street sk8n in the hood ... Galam I believe in this past year they released the Blind F-UP Kids series .. Not too sure though .. Dude those board graphics were the business !! Roco's art guy always came up with the craziest shit for deck art and adds ... Those were the good ol days when adds could be offensive to the untrained sk8r eye and no one got in trouble or sued for it !! Us 90's sk8rs had the best sense of humor by far !! We were all pretty raw kids !!!

Felt like sharing this quick little video of myself rocking a f*cked up tight bunny suit for the drunks and bar fly's at the Pow Wow Saloon down the street from my place ... loaded on whiskey and coke while riding my board in the streets in a bunny suit is pretty fun !!!

[Tatsujin]

nice stuff, but I've expected some heavier tricks out of that rabbit

[soop]

Heheh, cool

[Nec.Game.head]

@ Tatsujin .. lol Dude I could barely fit into that tight ass bunny suit .. My junk was trying to bust out, that's why I put the carrot in front of my package .. lol well that and my girl wasn't down with me running around like that .. I couldn't squat down that low to bust out any kick flips .. That shit felt like at any minute I was gonna bust threw that outfit and bare all to the public .. Here's a quick clip of me in a trow away footy montage .. You can fast forward to my few tricks starting at 57 seconds .. I'm gonna most definitely post up my full video part when I'm done filming in the next month or so ..

Hard ankle sprain the other day doing a stupid switch heel on FLAT!
My toe wedged into the ground and the weight of my body pushed me forward and rolled it.
Weather finally gets perfect and this happens. FTW.
