O.D.G.

Wow. Bad timing on that last post; http://chromeballincident.blogspot.com/search/label/tony%20hawk I know how skaters are finnicky about details so for the record I had my post up first. Although in hindsight it does appear that I was mimicking the style, which was unintentional. My bad. By the way, this might be the best thing I've ever seen on the Berrics: Can't think of anything else to put in and we've had a nice reprieve from the triple digit weather in Sac so...I'm out! Going skating..

The man personally responsible for making it acceptable to be rich and famous in the non-skateboarding world...in addition to popularizing the 80's flop-over haircut, Tony Hawk. ...dude can just live off of doing handplants for the rest of his life and be legit.

I was going to do a list of the top ten "Sal flips"; however when I started to put the list together I got to this part and just had to stop and watch it the whole way through. I think Adam McNatt is one of the most underrated pro's ever, and this part is just so ahead of it's time. What he does at 38 seconds in blows my mind every time I see it. People made a big fuss about Gino's 360 manual down the Roslyn banks,(which don't get me wrong, is amazing), but his old team mate does what I think is the first one ever at 1:20. Oh yeah, by the way, the "Sal Flip" is at 1:57.

Came across this on the Almost website; To this day I still don't know why Deca went under. So many good skaters,a decent company name (as opposed to almost, which doesn't really roll off the tongue), and an amazing video, then kaput. Oh well, just glad to see anything from Daewon. Such an incredibly gifted skater.. oh man, I put this in here then turned up the volume. This song is horrible! Sorry!..

Just saw this flick and want to tell you, whatever you expect, it's better. Such a good video. Not over-produced. No lifestyle shots. Just good skating. The music was all around bangin', with a couple iffy slower ones thrown in. Don't want to hype it up more than it already is, but check it out. You will not be disappointed... By the way I realize I've been slacking on posting stuff so will be adding some more content soon.

Just want to give a quick shout out to anyone that skated during the 90's and lived through the small wheel phase. These are 38 Specials that I went through in a week. Please skateboarding, let's not go there again..

Figured it was about time to put some Natas on here.. and seeing as you can't really mention one without the other....
