Product Review: Independent Forged Titanium Stage 11 trucks.

Image
As mentioned in a previous post, I've developed a really bad obsession with my trucks. I just always seem to find something wrong with what I'm riding... either they're too wide, too tall, too heavy, etc.. Having gone through something like 6 or seven pairs in the last couple of years, I knew when I first heard about these Independents through a Lance Mountain Instagram post that it was only a matter of time before I got a set.  I ordered a set from Sub-versions skate shop in Sacto and after riding them for a couple weeks now I can honestly say they were worth every penny. Super light, grind really well. My only issue with them so far has been that the bushings seem to be pretty stiff. I emailed NHS to see if they were the same standard bushings that usually come with Indy's and they confirmed they are, but just a different color. I'm hoping that they just need to be broken in a bit and that we will make Tsaheylu soon..  I did a quick check to s...

Who did the first frontside 180 heelflip?

Image
This question randomly popped into my head recently. I am genuinely curious who was the first skater to do this and in what video it occurred.  The earliest recollection I have of seeing one is from Rodney Mullen in Plan B's "Questionable" video from 1992. It would be at around the 2:34 mark.  I also recalled being impressed with Lavar McBride doing one over a bike rack in 20 Shot Sequence. This would be at the 1:39 mark in this video. I guess this was later though-1994.  So does Rodney get credit for inventing yet another trick? Or is there an earlier instance of a frontside 180 heelflip on record?? Please comment if you know of one.

Scott Starr Interview

Image
** originally posted this interview a few months ago but there were issues with the formatting of the photos/text so I took it down. I also thought it was a good time to repost it as Scott has been quietly going through some health issues. If you would like to find out more information please go to the link below. http://www.gofundme.com/x3kc92t4 I recently had the chance to touch base with the man behind many iconic skateboarding images. Former Thrasher Magazine staff photographer, skate, snowboard, and freestyle frisbee enthusiast, and all around nice guy, Scott Starr.  (All photos and captions by Scott) Danny Way, not liking his run at a Powell Zone contest and taking it out on his board. Mid '90's I forget the year right now.  How did you get into skate/action sports photography?    Well I was always an artist and in High School designed the Yearbook covers and backdrops for plays and dances, I was always very creative. So when I ...
