So True. The public free skate parks they finally built around here are all pretty shitty anyway. Some are tiny shitholes and the city expects you to just skate them and no where else? If I can find pics of the Blaine MN park, I'll post 'em for a good laugh.

HAHAHA. The Blaine park is a fucking joke.

We have a semi-nice one in Bird Island but I don't live there anymore. I guess they are expanding and moving the one in town to about a block away from my house. It is too bad I strictly skate Churches, Post Offices, and other buildings.

what skate videos are you cats into? i think "sorry" by flip is my all time favorite skate vid

I like RDS/FSU/blah blah blah.

"Welcome To Hell"- toymachine, "Menikmati"- eS, "Lordz Of Conspiracy", etc.

i've really wanted to see welcome to hell. a freind once told me that skaters in the film were skating at a church. and one of the church dudes got pissed off and said something along the lines of "i hope jesus breaks your arm"

:-o

HaHaHa, I know the exact part your talking about. It's a the end of the video. The priest shoves the camera guy & everything. I hate church fuckers who think they're better than Jesus himself.
Oh, & BTW, "Welcome To Hell" has some of the best bail videos of all-time.

wait.. i think i have seen it.. oh yeah! definetly! i recall the ending credits in which jamie thomas grinds a rail for like 15 minutes. but it's in super slow motion. so it's hard to tell how long it actually was...

Yeah, super slow mo. & so was the ending track that went with it.
It does have a pretty good soundtrack to it. Not to menion,
"Titanium Expose" by Sonic Youth.

I lost my copy of Sorry and The End dvd (great part with Jeremy Klein and Heath Kirchart!). No clue where they went dammit.

I actually just sold nearly 40 skate vids I had purchased over the years for money for music gear. I used to have all the CKY videos, now I think Bam is a douche.
I skated at FDR park when I was in Philly, and he showed up. He was awesome at that park (which is hard to ride), no denying it, but people seem to think he's one of the best pros and he really isn't. He's totally overexposed and his Viva La Bam show was so phony and staged.

Definetly. Bam is not the greatest skater like everyone thinks he is. Although, he has a unique style, he just doesn't make the cut for the all-time great skaters.

Bam has poop style on street now. He is really good on tranny but if nobody knew who he was and he came out now, there would be no chance of him having a pro model out. Think about how many good Am skaters there are.

My top 5 favorite skate videos ever
1.Not the new H-Street video (H-Street)
2.Sight Unseen (Transworld)
3.Misled Youth (Zero)
4.Hokus Pokus (H-Street)
5.Art Bars Subtitles and Seagulls (Foundation)

toy machine


that is all

independant trucks

Ed Templeton

that is all

Independent Trucks: I don't kno where thy came up w/ the title for this company, but I sure do like it.

Someone put some footy online...

You mean the song The Power Of Independent Trucking? No, Independent Trucks have been around since the 70's.

H-Street vids were the shit back in their time! They still rule of course. I have Hocus Pokus still. I probably watched it every day for months when it came out.

I come from the current generation of skating but I love the original style of H-Street. Alfonzo Rawls, Damian Carbajal, Hensley, Sal Barbier, and Ocean Howell are just some of the original rippers. I watch those videos more than current ones.

Okay I got a free account on Badongo. What do I do now? What do I put in to upload my files?
