O.D.G.

Ever have one of those days where you wake up and go "what the hell was I thinking?".. Yeah, well I had one last week and realized that the puke green back ground on here was horrid. Kind of reminds me of President Skroob in Spaceballs ; Anyway, good week in skateboarding. Mullen does a Ted talk; Gino gets his own truck; and Arto gets Epicly Later'd ; Oh yeah, there's also the Battle at the Berrics five finals this weekend.. should be interesting.. Anywho, I'll do some more scans next week. Just too much going to to sit down and focus on one thing. Have a great weekend!

I've been thinking about this for a long time. A good song in a skate video can make all the difference in the world. Here are (in no particular order) my top ten... 1. Guy Mariano, Mouse. I really don't even need to say why... Those first few notes of the song were so eerie that it just draws you right in. The song seems to get more complicated as the skating gets gnarlier. Classic. 2. Ronnie Creager, Trilogy. One of my all time favorites. Clean song that just seemed to match his skating perfectly. The Jimmy Cliff 2nd song was a surprise that was a little bit more upbeat and worked as well. 3. Pat Duffy, Questionable. Another song that kind of builds with the intensity of the skating and ends with the blood-curling scream from Les Claypool as Pat changes street skating forever.. 4. Danny Way, Virtual Reality. If memory serves me correctly this was right before his surfing accident which took him out of the game for a while. 5. Jamie Thomas, Welcom...
