I haven't had internet in a while, just watching part one now.
Am I the only one who was stoked to see The Germs artwork on his griptape from the old footage of him skating?

didnt notice it until you mentioned it,sick!

[escapistfool]

i'm diggin' the koston episodes so far......this could easily end up being 10+ episodes long.

pat channita is a legend, a young skater friend told me where his house was, so i knocked on his door back in 98' and he was down to come skate....super cool dude.

alfonzo is the style king, i wish he was still in the industry skating.

..........more dan peterka please!!!!!

Alphonso still is in the industry, but he's doing shoe designs and whatnot.

Does anyone else find O'Dell just that bit creepy ?

He's so smarmy (sp) i just don't like him or his style, the end results are good, but let hope he does just keep out of the program

Agreed. Something very creepy about a lazy-eyed hipster with a bunch of plaid shirts following people around taking candid photos.

He's eccentric, and a little odd but who gives a shit. He's the brains behind this amazing series.

Most of you wouldn't know jack shit about Cardiel if it wasn't for O'dell.

I swear, some people just need a reason to bitch

I think the "Don't Listen to that" boys got it spot on with the parody they did of O'Dell in London.

As for not knowing anything about Cardiel, if you've been skating more that 20 years you're going to know or have seen Cardiel skate - i think it's 20 years this month since him, Karma, Chapman, Gonz and co where over in the UK and he busted us having a cheeky wee smoke, then joined in and was all excited about getting a smoke from us

Anyway this isn't about Cardiel - it's about O'Dell being a creepy fucker - he's a creepy fucker !

[Alan]

Yes, he's creepy, but his presence in the videos is minimal, so it's not that bad...

[Quanzaa]

1:27 is one of my favorite Crail Couch moments.

[UserFame]

lol @ grown man being scared of creepy O?Dell....you are all bunch of faggs!

[Quanzaa]

How does saying that he's creepy translate into being afraid of O'Dell and Epicly Laterd sucking? Y'all twist things worse than Bill O'Reilly.

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

I find his voice kind of oddly calm at all times. Its like he's always talking to a crazy person that he doesn't want to get upset.

I love how in an era filled with hipsters, nobody is a hipster.

[Fongstarr.]

I think considering who he interviews at times, being subtle and calm is a good thing. You just want to ask the questions and let the other person express what they have to say. Plus Epicly Later'd is edited so you hardly even hear from the guy, so I can't imagine gauging his personality from that. In that Crail Couch interivew, he seems like a totally different person since he's expressing some different emotions then he normally does.

[westtoast]

yeah judging his personality from the show is stupid. what i can tell from watching the show is that he works hard to make it interesting by tracking down the right people for interviews and featuring skaters/topics that people who have been skating for a while actually care about. it seems stupid to talk shit on a person who puts in the effort to make a show that is generally agreed to be awesome.

[HOMAGE_BROOKLYN_SKATESHOP]

O'Dell touches monkeys.

[Laban Fetus]

O'Dell is not creepy. Bob, however...

Wa-wai-wait.  Did he say he front rocked the skatopia bowl?  The deep end?  Fully flapped back truck to the coping, or just hook the front wheels over the lip?

Bob looks even creepier in person...

[Sleazy]

it seems stupid to talk shit on a person who puts in the effort to make a show that is generally agreed to be awesome.

and he's one of the least embarrassing and most core personalities to emerge in skate media ever. seriously, who else has picked up the mic and not seemed douchy? rob brink is cool i guess. i don't really have the erica crush so would take o'dell over here. that bob guy is creepy as fuuuuu.

[Chris Hansen is back]

Rob Brink and his brand of "journalism" is like an ambient sounds of the sea sleeping mix-tape for babies and grandmothers.

[thugnificent]

what the fuck that picture of bob is seriously going to haunt me for at least a week, how can such a person even exist? this shit has got me livid!

well put sir

[Schismatic]

Versatility, technique, style, variety = Koston

Predictable, limited variety, stunt jumping, racism = Reynolds

Pretty lame to include Reynolds' "racism" that I fucking guarantee you've NEVER heard even fourth hand and then not include Koston's tired online "fuck your face" antics which we've all seen thanks to the internet.

How much should a pro's personality really figure in, anyway?

*sigh of disappointment*

G-MOS Xpoz'd Reynolds true "colors" a long time ago.

Koston's attitude isn't born out of racial hatred.

This race card against Reynolds is complete and utter bullshit.  Gershon beat his face in because he was a drugged up, drunken pile talking shit- and Reynolds will not dispute that fact to this day.  There was no racial hatred involved, get your story straight. 

It's so strongly detrimental and degenerate bring race relations into any conflict unwarranted, and you suck at life for doing so. 

man shut the fuck up white boy and fuck reynolds

Uh oh, we got ourselves a tough guy. Everyone get scared.

So awesomely hypocritical to be racially degrading in your response too. Instant ignore on the grounds of irreversible stupidity.

That first line with all the little rails always stuck in my head and was the first time I ever really saw Koston, and the gap to lower-ledge back lip was one of my favorite tricks in the whole vid. Great part from a classic video and even though I never hardcore fanned out on Koston his part was really influential. Street, mini, vert, everything done well and tons of tricks I'd never seen before back in 1992.

The sign of a real skate dork: For some reason it kept bothering me that they repeatedly referred to "Next Generation" as "Next."

how is patrick o'dell creepy in the slightest?  not seeing it.  also, fuck the word(s) "creepy/creeper"

agreed, O?Dell seems\looks like a really normal dude.

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

I don't mean creepy like he seems sleazy, I mean something is just odd about him. Like the way Mr. Rogers is kinda creepy.
