Title: Kenny Reed Appreciation
Post by: Bantam on January 28, 2010, 11:38:08 AM: It's kind of a bummer to know how dumb kids these days are. We all know youtube commenters are scum of the internet, but it was still ridiculous to see the comments on Kenny's new video part. Some asinine opinions are also displayed here, so maybe this will double as appreciation and education on how awesome Kenny Reed is.

Here are lots of photos and some videos for all to enjoy.

Mind blowing. Does anyone have that one Destructo ad he had a few years ago of the 360 flip over the nipple? Damn is that picture pretty. Also, I had these: http://www.plusskateshop.com/ProdDetail_LargeImage.asp?FileName=/files/Original/reed.jpg and they're one of my favorite shoes ever.

Nah, it was actually Shuggie Otis, dumb fuck.

The Brothers Johnson covered that song and ruined it. Made a lot of money off of it.

For some reason, I get more psyched to skate by watching Kenny Reed ollie than anything else. So yes, thank you for this

This one's on my wall.

That 360 flip on the bump is one of the sickest pictures ever. It was apparently in the October 2005 TWS, but I can't find it. Used to have that one taped to the wall, but think it got lost in a move...
