Skateboarders Can Also Be Retro Game Nerds ...

nice stickers up there too

tho couldn't spot any "skateboarding is not a crime" or "support your local skateboarder" ones

when my dad worked as a silkscreen printer back in the 80s, I gave him two stickers of the above and he printed me like hundreds of 'em. we stuck them up over the whole village..lol.

Oh shit, Tatsujin in the sk8 house ? Nice .. I still to this day watch all The Bones Brigade video's .. Frankie Hill's part on Ban This is hell epic to date! Last year I got the hook up from a friend of mine and I got a very special invite to see the screening for the Bones Brigade documentary .. The whole Bones Brigade team was their except for Tommy Guerrero .. That was the first time in over 20 years I had been star struck by any former or current pro sk8r's .. I'm till date still really mixed up in the sk8board industry .. It's all part of what I grew up doing, but seeing all those dudes in the same place was soo amazing .. It was actually the first time The Bones Brigade was all in the same place in about a decade in a half .. Gators documentary is super good theirs also the Christian Hosi documentary and the Steve Rocco one called The Man Who Souled The World that ones is crazy sick .. It covers pretty much how Steve Rocco got the 90's street sk8n scene up and running full speed .. lol I'm always hungry to sk8 !!

Who is that with the board in the mouth? Im reserving comment until i know...

Something in that pic is tugging hard at the center of my skateboard purist core.
If you remember Consolodated Skateboards, you might know what i mean.

Ha lol dude that's me !!! Last year my boy Vincent Baily came to stay at my house from Boston to get some filming done. He always brings me a fat package from concepts..  That's the homie Eli Reeds pro model I'm reppin. The 2 pics on my first post are of me also in action.. I now ride for a company called Sensitive.. Vince will be at my place again on the 23rd .. Every winter he comes through to get his cali winter time sk8 on... He's the dude to the right of me with the white Nike Sb shirt..  Always hungry to Sk8!!!

[bob]

I'm from the boston area too and the weather is NOT skate friendly in january.  Im stiffer than han solo in carbonite right now.

Anyway, what i was referring to in my previous post about your picture...
GET THOSE f*ckING NIKE SHIRTS OFF!!

LOL.

I was so pissed when they entered the skate market.  Growing up in the 90's era of skateboarding, its only natural to scoff at big business trying to exploit skating for "street cred".  (In nikes case, outside of basketball.) 
I dont want to see skate shoes rolling out of the same factory as golf clubs.

But on a brighter note, i will happy to join vinnie on his trip this year. Thanks for the invite!
Haha!

Speaking of old-school skaters, did you guys ever see the documentary on Mark "Gator" Rogowski? It's called "Stoked: The Rise and Fall of Gator". It's pretty damned fascinating, and it also has some great old-school skating footage.

I haven't seen this one heard it was good, did you the the one about Christian Hasoi, that one is pretty good.

dude, I feel you, but with skate shoes at the moment, the trend is for old school garish hipsterness.  I'm all about the 90's, so I had some baddass yellow custom bikes before the supra skytop 3's I'm rocking now

Haven't seen the Hasoi one.

The Gator one blew my mind. He was my favorite skater back in the day, and I kind of forgot about him after I fell out of skating. Then I saw this movie, and SPOILER: he f*cking killed a woman! What?!

Another good documentary to check out is Steve Rocco's "Man Who Souled the World".  It's a fun ride through the 90's skate powerhouses.

To mix in a bit of 'bob here, when I was featured in a magazine a couple years back, I made sure to wear a 4Star shirt for my photo...

KILL ROCCO !!! That dude rocks !!!

[Tatsujin]

do you guys have any pictures from the old sk8ing times?

I have had only about two or three from the late 80s, but coulnd't find any of them so far

@NGH, yeah frankie hill (literally) rocked big times in ban this (and the soundtrack was so awesome too). even uploaded his part somewhere on youtube once.
also always was a fan of lance mountain. very oldskoolish guy. not the best, but instead probably the funniest sk8er of all time

I really would like to do some skateboarding again, but now I'm going towards the 38, and not the most flexible and light person anymore. probably will teach my son some few stuff, when he's bit more grown up.
