O.D.G.

I have nothing to say.. just had a few drinks and while putting together a Gonz post and came across this one and thought it was a good flick.... think it's a make?? 

Hello.. Previously a staple of  skateboarding magazine, similar to the infamous "slam section", the how to or trick tip is a rare find these days. Perhaps that's because most of the time they were completely useless and were more funny than actually helpful and would often follow a format of..."flip your board, land, ride away stoked". Eric Dressen with a stylish wallride variation..  Rick Howard. Probably never done before or since one foot 5-0 to fakie..  Interesting story about this one.. I tried learning 360 flips based off of seeing this step by step. Had them for a while, then lost them. Learned them switch in the 90's, then later got them back in the early 2000's.. Later on I thought it was "Lil' Stevie", however only learned after digging it up that it was "Lil' Joe"..  Mike V. with some vert skating advice.. Damian Carbajal+Dan Sturt=p...

My all time favorite skater and friend from Brazil, Dan Redlew. Please if you're an industry type sponsor this guy. Absolute brilliance.. and he saw the Pope.

BTW, check out Clay Company on Insta.. (Clay_Company). Devine's got some good footage on there.. This spot always looked good..Brian Wenning So much respect for Geoff Rowley for stunts like this.. Thanks for your patience with the formatting of the site, just trying a few different things.. More coming soon.

With all the hype surrounding Tony Hawk, it's easy to forget that he's just an amazing skateboarder.. and then you get a good reminder like this; 

Done with shoes.. but here are a few leftovers that I either forgot to add in other posts or warrant a second gander.. also a few random odds and ends I came across.  Sal Barbier nosebluntslide transfer.  Found an old photo of me recently wearing my favorite skate shoes of all time..Axion Guy Mariano's. I had three pairs of these damn things in a row and wore them until they fell apart. I thought it was cool to see Axion doing a newer version (" The Nino "), but it doesn't quite capture how rad these shoes were.  ..and sadly, I threw these out a few years back but kept the box for some reason. To be honest I didn't care for the shoes that much they were too narrow but dude ripped so I was hoping some of his good mojo would rub off on me. Nope.  This one really should have been on the Jenkem Mag's most  terrifying  skate shoe list.. the infamous Zero Two..  Oh, and these velco Airwalks were pretty...

I had a white pair of Sal 23's ..went to Europe, came home and they mysteriously disappeared.  I still have hope that they're going to pop up some time..  Javier Sarmiento PJ Ladd Rick McCrank  I was hoping to bump into Tom on my recent trip to Barcelona.. maybe next time.  Eric Koston Arto Saari, kickflip to fakie.  Check out the timeline in case you're not already familiar with them..  http://esskateboarding.com/
