Title: 90’s pros with no coverage
Post by: goldenbullcow on September 05, 2018, 05:03:48 PM
Jim Menscer comes to mind.

The guy was pro for Capital but it’s damn near impossible to find anything about him.... and he ripped!

Sean Mullendore also didn't get nearly the coverage.  Maybe more than Jumped though.

i felt so crazy after reading his chromeball all about getting used and screwed over when i learned he only had 40 seconds of footage

Liversedge tho (and Joey Bast). I guess Bast was pretty frequent in 411s.
Mike Santarosa is another that comes to mind; lots of 411 footy but not much else...

Ronnie Bertino (early EMB days)

I wish there was a full Ryan Hickey part.

I thought Ronnie Bertino has lots of footage. I bought a VHS Re-issue of second hand smoke out of the bargain video bin at my old local shop in like 8th grade and he had a sick part in that. I still have it. I think his ender is the first switch back lip on a handrail. I am fairly certain he had a few full parts.

Besides a few 411 commercials for 60/40, Steven Cales  barely has footage anywhere else.



Wasn’t until years later that some unseeen footy popped up in media like the bonus section of the Man Who Sold The World dvd. But even then , it was only a few clips.

Ivan Perez is a great call.

I’ve always heard about how good he was but I don’t remember seeing anything from him other then an early half page zoo ad.

I’ve also heard Brian Blake from jersey who rode for shut was amazing but only photo I ever saw was of him pushing ... I do know he became a Rasta and a pro snowboarder and named himself True Love

Totally agree but to my point I can’t think of a single Ivan Perez clip... and the only Jim Menscer clip I can remember is from the shred for life 411 section ... awsome section by the way

they did, and Bast had a profile too in 411? With Liversedge though, it seems like there was so many good pics of him back in the day but hardly any footage of it ever emerged

Kien Lieu did all right for coverage I think but I feel like he never really got his shine the way he should have. Always one of my favorites anyway. At first I was like all he does is ollie but then I was like yeah but what an ollie he has.

That Ryan Hickey Chromeball interview is so good. I fully slept on him.

I flip flopped on posting this but since happenstance brought up Justin Pierce, I figured it's relevant.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IFBrv1zSac&t=264s

Chops asks Ryan Hickey about it and he seemed pretty bummed on it. As a document of a particular time and place it's good though. Lot of great skaters not skating and looking cool. Supreme stuff basically.

Yeah, I know. There's a lot of non-pros in this thread. I just remember someone commenting in a Chromeball interview how they thought it was rad that he got so much attention, was considered such a legend, but there's basically no skate coverage of him during his sponsored days. I think they said he never had a published photo, or maybe even that there are no skate photos of him.

Such a sick part. Gangemi wanted to make a board company with Ricky Oyola right before Ricky started traffic. Would be sick if Gangemi was on Traffic and we could still get a clip here and there.

Also, Mike Daher's part in a visual sound is a classic. Then I feel like he had a few really sick clips with street grabs and stuff in like ipath tour clips used for on video or 411 or something

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhLmjrwitSw

Not sure if he ever went pro for Zoo, but I want to say I would of loved a full Hamilton Harris part. Also, another mysterious rider for Zoo who had a few sick ads but never went pro was Loki. I wanted to see more of this dude who had no last name. Does anyone remember Loki?

Not sure you know but he died about 15 years ago. I believe his dad owned Cheap Skates skatepark in PA. He was great in that place at a real young age and was on Real for a minute.

Yeah that's all I could think of too. His tricks were after Hamilton Harris, who also had a sick style. Harris had some cool clips in the new york city part of EE3 too.
