The recent sheffey story inspired this. Any legendary tales about skaters true or unconfirmed? The seedier the better.

scott bourne and a friend skated/walked through the bart tunnel in between san francisco and oakland.
"having never been down there and only going on scott's telling of it, it's miles long with no "safe place" to get away from the train, so you have to get through it before the trains start running again in the morning (he did it with a friend and they left after the last train). it's part downhill, part uphill, and with very little light, as well as skating between the rails the whole time. i can only imagine it's one of the sketchiest things you could possibly do." - whiteley

not a story per se but a friend of mine was a shoe(?) rep in calgary and did a van tour (hockey rink footage in "major tom" ad) with tom penny thru some of western canada. Apparently tom wasnt seen eating the whole time was drunk the whole time and his teeth were yellow. He was saying that he wanted es to release a clog as his pro model. Also one time "apparently" the gonz was in the bc interior and was asked by an aquaintance of mine if he snowboarded and the gonz pretty much lost his shit at him so the dude told me. ha ha

It was Kasper at Wallenburg. I always forget the name of the Birdhouse am who was gay but I know that there was a pro who complained about it and it was supposedly Jeremy.
The Mayhew one happened. I remember him mentioning it in an interview.
Wasn't Lennie Kirk super fucked up and randomly skating around SF when he came across that huge double kink he 50-50ed?
Here's a good one: Jake Johnson's double set wallride in Mind Field was done with an ankle that was so fucked up he was using duct tape to keep it together. I believe it was one of the first times he was skating with Kalis. He was super nervous and wasn't planning on doing anything crazy but they found that double set and he did a few wallrides down the first set, smoked a bowl, and then did the whole thing.
RIP AWS :'(

The Wallenberg kneepad rumor I'm almost positive was in that August '04 Thrasher with Jamie Thomas doing a wallie nosegrab on some brick bank to window spot--believe the article said there was a rumour going around during the contest that either Josh Kasper or Corey Sheppard (can't remember who exactly) was wearing them while trying something there.
Unfortunately, all my skate mags got thrown out once I moved out to college. Maybe someone else has that issue and can verify?
You can search around for the specifics of the Birdhouse rumor in the comments section of the vid below; again, no idea how valid that poster's claims are:

Peter Gunn bombed prescott in the rain, on acid, and barefoot, while carrying a bag of groceries and a gallon of milk

I'd believe it. I've seen that dude rip Donald barefoot and wasted.

Not really legendary as such, but I watched a female acquaintance of Tom Penny berating him in a Copenhagen bar about the bagginess of his pants.
He replied with "..... they're Krew." and went back to playing pool.
Also heard of P-Rod giving out little individual bags of weed to most attendees at one of his shoe launch parties.

Ha! gnarliest guy... I grew up hearing/seeing stories about him that were just mind boggling. Shit from bombing the steepest hill in town (which that T's at the end) in pitch black to him getting out of high school everyday, immediately pushing down the hallway, and trying to ollie the 18 stair at the school (somedays he'd make it and somedays not). Naturally he was a very inspiring person to me

i heard in the 80's at the peak of powell's popularity cabs board flew of a ramp & hit a kid in the head then later died.
anyone have any solid info on this?
i love all those world warehouse raid stories....
i think it was gavin saying they had so many board they couldn't fit them in the car and left them on the gutter.

I've heard backhand stories of Tom Penny being completely fucked up in Europe, possibly not wearing clothes, and walking into skateshops and grabbing all new gear and walking out. I also remember hearing a story oh him showing up to random contest unannounced and borrowing the worst board there and putting on a one man demo
I can't remember the contest and I am pretty sure it was penny and it was a big one, but he took one run the entire contest and French exited. He just walked out after his first run and went back to his hotel. He found out the next day he won

Apparently it wasn't just Klien that had an issue with it, there was talk that everyone on the team and at Blitz had a series of phone calls addressing how deal with the "situation" and Tony was under a lot of pressure to drop him and keep it under wraps. Last word on Tim was he'd moved to the UK after all the bullshit.

Thanks for the link. It still trips me out that skateboarding has been one upped by the military and the NFL in its acceptance of gays. Institutional homophobia is still okay in the skateboard industry. Fuck that. Somebody in charge please step up and change this shit. Now.

i wouldn't doubt it but i don't have any good secondhand accounts. a long time ago i worked at yellowstone and my boss was a portland skater so if i wanted to fuck off for a little bit i'd ask him for a pigpen story or something and he always delivered. i don't think he knew heddings as well since he moved to san diego so long ago. there usedta be a couple deaf skaters at burnside, the black kid ripped but apparently he ran to ATL to avoid a rape charge.
then brent atchley told us a story about 'deaf tom' he was taking a shit at a bar and passed out on the toilet. when he awoke the bar was closed so he just started drinking. the cops come and yell at him to stop and comply but he's deaf so he keeps drinking. then they beat the living shit out of him so he's got a lawsuit against portland PD.
those deaf tranny dogs, always up to no good!

I have personally skated with Jake a few times and he always has weed on him, ALWAYS. He is constantly high so I'm sure that most of the stuff he has filmed has been while high.

""We're happy that those unwarranted charges were dismissed in the interest of justice," said Patch's co-council Gary Labin, adding, "With a plea deal, you know exactly what you're getting. With a jury trial, you never know what's going to happen."
In a prepared statement sent via email, Patch wrote, "There is a Supreme Court judicial opinion that states: 'There is not an easier charge made and a more difficult to disprove.' To keep my friends, family, and alleged victim from suffering any further, when faced with this dilemma and presented a deal offered by the D.A., I had to take it."
Nevertheless, Patch's team said they were prepared for trial. According to Labin, Patch's case was mishandled from the start by one of the officers, who's now being held on unrelated charges of kidnapping and rape. "And I can't speak for the prosecution," he added, "but it certainly doesn't help their case when the alleged victim is yelling at the judge, 'He's not guilty!' She told the court that her father had threatened her if she didn't [point the finger at Patch]. " "

Patrick O’Dell tells me about an incident ten years ago where a skater who was rumoured to be gay left a tour after somebody said, ‘Oh, I heard you were a faggot.’ “It turned into the hugest fight with three skaters being extremely homophobic and the others sticking up for him,” says O’Dell. But while these incidents paint the worst possible picture of sections of skateboarding, Tim points out that, while on Birdhouse “there was no one I met when I was skateboarding or that I have ever talked to in skateboarding who ever had a problem with me being gay”.
interesting.

Peter Gunn bombed prescott in the rain, on acid, and barefoot, while carrying a bag of groceries and a gallon of milk

all the lennie kirk stories from kalis' epicly latrd
mainly the story of how lennie kirk got deep into religion
if you didn't see it-
lennie got run over by a pacific bell truck one day skating in sf
board broke and the tires went all the way across his chest w/ multiple witnesses
he got up without a scratch
then the next day he's skating through traffic/running red lights and a taxi driver yells at him "DONT YOU SEE THE LIGHT"
boom
religious fanatic
i also like the one fred gall tells where fred is chillin outside a laundromat waiting for his clothes in a scummy part of jersey when lennie rolls up on a bike and starts mean mugging some thug walking by. the thug goes, "what the fuck are you lookin at" whereby lennie decides it's a good idea to say "why dont you go home and get your gun and shoot me then??"
the dude returns dusted out on a bike with a metal pipe and starts swinging at freddy and lennie, eventually lennie gets his arm broken and gets away while fred and some other dude lead the dusted out thug dude to the top of a gnarly hill and bomb it, losing the thug guy behind

Oh yeah, i used to skate with Heath quite a bit. He was one of those hometown rippers that was better than most of the pros you'd meet (he was a little older than me, and light years better). All the sickest shit in that area was done by him... the biggest hills, biggest gaps, etc.. I remember he moved up to SF and got a little coverage in some mags but that was awhile ago.
And yeah I do know that Kyle Haggerty is a firefighter up in that area, a friend of mine works with him. I don't really remember him other than when he was REAL young, and he used to skate at this indoor park/vert ramp and rip pretty hard for a little dude. Jason Jessee was a regular there.

It was Kasper at Wallenburg. I always forget the name of the Birdhouse am who was gay but I know that there was a pro who complained about it and it was supposedly Jeremy.
The Mayhew one happened. I remember him mentioning it in an interview.
Wasn't Lennie Kirk super fucked up and randomly skating around SF when he came across that huge double kink he 50-50ed?
Here's a good one: Jake Johnson's double set wallride in Mind Field was done with an ankle that was so fucked up he was using duct tape to keep it together. I believe it was one of the first times he was skating with Kalis. He was super nervous and wasn't planning on doing anything crazy but they found that double set and he did a few wallrides down the first set, smoked a bowl, and then did the whole thing.
RIP AWS :'(
I think that's gnarlier than the ankle part. How people smoke to skate and do shit like that is beyond me. If I smoke I think about everything that could go wrong.
I have personally skated with Jake a few times and he always has weed on him, ALWAYS. He is constantly high so I'm sure that most of the stuff he has filmed has been while high.
we were skating this spot once and he couldnt land this switch wall ride that he was trying for an hour, took a hit, then landed it next try. lands it and says "thank you weed!" i shit myself, it was the quote of the trip.

Billy Rohan is epic in general; the European backflip to Mental Hospital is one I often convey in a non-skateboarding related context.
Remember when Markovich was slated to box "Bad" Chad at ASR maybe a decade ago?
The Renaud saga involving his abrupt departure from Barcelona and subsequently Habitat made for a good tale; he just didn't give a fuck.

The story Grosso told in Big Brother about ODing and coming to with the emergency response folks outside the house, walking outside and a frozen burrito falling out of his ass is classic. I didn't know before then that when someone ODs on heroin you're supposed to stuff ice in their orifices and somehow that shocks their system back to life - I don't know if that is factual, I've never had to try. Apparently, the house he ODed at didn't have ice and only had frozen burritos.

i've heard that and have a buddy who did it to this obnoxious girl [krazy karla] but i don't think it works. you're overdosing on opiates and narcan tricks your body into not believing it's on opiates but anything else is just trying to annoy someone awake. i slapped a kid around for a while so he wouldn't catch a nod and not wake up but if he'd taken more that would also have been ineffectual.

In 95 or 96 skating pier 7 I saw Stevie Williams filming lines. One trick was a fs pop shove nosegrind on a metal coped block. He was having trouble with it and one attempt he missed, I happened to be two ledges away which is pretty far. He runs out of his bail and runs all the way down to me and tries to punk me with a shoulder check (he didn't actually touch me but tried to get me to flinch). Totally caught me off guard since I wasn't even close to getting in his way. I didn't flinch and sheepishly said sorry. Never been a fan since (obviously). DGK is a fitting name.

Random Stevie Perez luv story, David Loy bullies youth, Ryan Reyes: a cool kid, Ryan Sheckler.
In the eighth grade(2007-2008) I frequented Pedlow skate park. At the time it was not unusual for Stevie Perez to show up and mess around for an hour or two. He was to my knowledge a "nobody" at the time, but was painfully better than everyone else lol. One hot summer day day we were skating a small down down rail. We were taking turns. I remember he tweaked a flawless front-crook then I followed with a FS over-crook COOL. I skated back to the starting point and waited for him to go.. Literally for no reason at all he pulled out an earphone, looked at my face (with no expression and utmost indifference), and said, "I think you can skate rails."
When I was around ten or twelve I would skate at Van's Skate Park, at the Block at Orange. I was a chubby kid who had just learned how to kick-flip. I was kick-flipping everything too. Euro-gaps, banks, to fakie, to rock, flat ground. Them hoes LOVED it HAHA... Anywayssss, one day David and his bitch boy sk8r crew showed up to shred some gnar. He was probably fourteen or fifteen and average on board. I remember David would literally shove six year olds and scream unintelligible things if they were in "His" way. I was a local and I remember everyone agreeing on the fact he was an obnoxious cunty. One time he sprained his ankle fifteen feet away from me and then cried about how it was MY fault to his BFFs. Um exsqueeze me, LOL. I'm 20 now and I can always refer back to David as a perfect synonym for when I'm trying to use a different word for kook.
Ryan Reyes also frequented Vans. I generally remember he was cool and blasted very chill melons.
Ryan Sheckler crashed into me at Vans. It didn't hurt but he still stopped my board, picked it up, and handed it to me. He was very apologetic and genuine.
Cali, brah.

Demo ripped everyone killed it, and me and a few of my friends asked Herman to smoke a blunt with us, he said yeah sure i've gotta go back to the hotel tho but i'll be back... sure enough about an hour after the demo was over he comes strolling back to the park which was about a 20 min skate from the hotel they were staying at.. gets baked with us and i remember him saying, "man this thing is like a hot dog". lol .. also my older buddy mentioned that he looked a lot like jereme rogers and herman got genuinely pissed off at that comment haha.. super random story probably more so for a different thread but whatever

Are you serious? I never knew Buzza made it out of Melbourne let alone to the States. Who sent him there! Buzza is a rad dude that had a pretty shitty start in life that led to him making shitty decisions later in life. He was well known for being able to do any trick you could name and would regularly see a pro trying a trick at a demo and land it first try with them looking. He didnt understand that that was poor form. He was one of if not the first guy to hit Flinders St gold rail. He had a bad rep but deep down he is a rad guy that as my friend used to say probably just needed a hug.

Who won the fight?
well if muska won the fight burrows mighta still been around.

Anyone know anything about a Trujillo/Karma fight?
Anti-Hero photo retrospective by Tobin maybe 15 years back had a photo of Tony all bloodied up saying "he got socked by Karma & had to tell his mom he slammed skating".
Seems like Bob & Andy got into it as well at some point; no surprise.
And of course everything about Eric J back in those days is legendary.

In the early 90's Karma got jumped by a car load of Nortenos, in broad daylight, and got hit in the head a few times with a 2 x 4. As the story goes, Alan Petersen ran away, to his credit he probably assumed Karma ran too and wasn't being whacked in the head with a length of wood.
One time someone sarcastically asked Karma for his autograph to which he responded 'Yeah, my knuckles on your forehead'.

Not sure if it's legendary, but I remember years ago an extremely good Australian skater got sent to the US by his sponsors. Within days of landing there he'd had a fight with The Muska and was effectively black banned from the industry.
He repaid his sponsors by robbing them and skipping town.
who was it??
I guess enough people are over it now... Jason 'Buzza' Burrows. Still the most naturally talented skater I've ever seen in real life, but, a total dirtbag it would seem. Also, happy to be corrected on it, but I think it's pretty universally accepted in Melbourne.
He was getting heaps of flow at the time so he could sell product to buy the ticket. He made it over there, and from what I gather, blew it within days.
Like I said, I think he's still the most naturally talented skater I've ever seen. It's a shame he never got that hug, because he was an amazing skater and could've gone far. I don't think he was a bad dude per se, but he always seemed ready to scam someone.

Dumb story..
I went to the states to stay with my friend in SF, Franco (amazing artist who did stuff for Deluxe, Blackbox etc) good skater and all round legend.
Anyway we were driving around and we see T-Mo.. Franco tells me to yell at him in my Australian accent. It was early so T-Mo is probably hungover or still drunk and he starts waving his arms around and looks like a rabid dog.
Anyway. I have a burner phone and Franco gives me his number. I called him so many times asking if he wants vegemite on his shrimp on the barbie and dumb shit like that.
T-Mo would just yell into the phone for ages telling me he was gonna kill me and shit like that. We would leave it on loud speaker and laugh and laugh.
Dumb story fin.

That's basically what happened. I think T-Mo was talking shit on Chris Cook whom I believe rode for Dogtown and who's friends with Alva. Alva took offense to this and it eventually escalated into a fight where Alva punched him. T-Mo talked about how he kept his cool the whole time and came out the better man for it. I can't remember who wrote the article, but they mentioned how Alva has a huge ego and would've gotten beat down himself if he wasn't Tony Alva. I would hope that's all blown over by now. Think the contest was Marseille as well.

I believe this, Tony Alva actually tried to actually push me off my board once from behind so he could get to a quarterpipe before me, i wasnt tryna let him drop back in and we almost got it on...
I've never heard a bad Sheffey story, or Harold Hunter story except when people try and clean it up...
I watched PJ Ladd skate once for like a solid 20/30 minutes and didnt sit down or miss a single trick. Flipped in and out of everything.
Billy Rohan vs. Cheeto (Sexgoat) part 1 (this video), 2 (on the contest course) and 3 (outside when they both were removed) is also a recent classic, so were the subsequent Instagram posts between those two after.
*Edit* the dude in the sunglasses kinda breaking it up at the end is jacked but a dickhead security guard. Contests/events in nyc or anywhere bum me out when they feel they need security guards or use barriers and barricades to seperate skaters/pros/ams/locals from kids/fans/milfs/etc. Skateboarding has no place for security guards, unless were talking Big Black.
*Extra Edit* Cheeto would actually go on to win that contest, him and Billy are both dope tho ahahaha

TONY vs TONY
That night there was another contest, this time at the bar. I wasn't there so I had to get the story second hand, but this is what I could gather from my sources. Tony Miorana, AKA Two Beer Tony, AKA Tony Moron-o, was heckling Tony Alva pretty hard. Pretty much in an effort to piss him off enough to fight him, or in this case just beat him up pretty good. I guess this went on for a while until Alva had heard enough shit talking about himself, his friends, and his former teammates. After tossing Miorana across several tables (all the while Miorana still talking it up), Alva punched Miorana in the face, knocking his two front teeth loose. I saw Miorana the next morning and although he didn't look too good he was claiming victory. Not too sure of what he meant, I asked him to explain. "You see, I remained calm. Alva was the one who lost control and started hitting me. Besides, do you win a fight if the other guy doesn't fight back?" I guess he had a point because when I went to Alva to get his side of the story he was still worked up about the whole thing.
At first I though that Miorana really blew it this time. Actually, he does something like this every time he drinks. But by the time Sunday rolled around, his actions tended to make a little more sense. See, nobody likes an ego, and Alva has the biggest one in skateboarding. Each night at the bar he was prancing around like he was the shit, and most people were going with it. "Yeah, the legend Tony Alva is here. We're partying with Alva!" He feeds off this shit big time: walking up to whatever girl he sees and trying to make out with her. Picking up whoever's drink he chooses for himself.
If he wasn't TA, someone would have knocked his teeth out.

I forgot if it was Tim or Bam who told some stories about Tom Penny . About when muska and tom lived together and toms room was so full of clothes that you couldnt navigate it , he would never wash his clothes just get new from the sponsors . And then one day he decided to clean the room and took everything down to the beach and burned it
And the other story was tom being so high watching a skatevideo , during the flick tom said something like " woooh , this guy is really good " and muska or tim said " tom , thats you "
good old TSA days

yeah Tony is from about an hour from here a small town named Houma, La, so he was in New Orleans a lot and lived here for a year or 2, and he's just one of those dudes that likes to get under peoples skin and piss them, thats his thing. He' s button pusher and gets off on doing that kinda shit, most of the time when he would come to visit he would get kick out of his best friends house 3-4 days for that shit. In the game he's playing he definitely won.

Heath Tale
I think its talked about in the Mindfield booklet?
On a road trip to film for the video they were really hyped on doing cliff jumps and they would try and hit a new one almost daily. One day they start talking about how gnarly it would be if someone didnt eye it up first before they jump and just went for it. No looking to see where its shallow and deep, no looking to see if there are any rocks to avoid below, but just fucking run and jump.
So they kick that idea around for a couple days and then...
One day while they are walking up to a new cliff jump that had a straight but narrow path, a determined Heath, whom was walking in the back of the pack, flew by everyone on the trail just as they were about to reach the cliff AND FUCKING JUMPED IT. First time ever there and
jumped off this cliff without looking.

No looking to see where its shallow and deep, no looking to see if there are any rocks to avoid below, but just fucking run and jump.
So they kick that idea around for a couple days and then...
One day while they are walking up to a new cliff jump that had a straight but narrow path, a determined Heath, whom was walking in the back of the pack, flew by everyone on the trail just as they were about to reach the cliff AND FUCKING JUMPED IT. First time ever there and
jumped off this cliff without looking.
dude FUUUUUCK that, just thinking about doing this gives me anxiety.

all of these stories are 'reledgedly'.
eric j backside 180'd wallenberg w/ no cameras [before anything had been down it asides ollie].
robbie gangemi knocked off rob welsh's SF hat and said 'nigga, you ain't from SF, you from Maine.'
PJ banged alexis sablone.
arial nodded out at government center and eli reed gave him a dirty look and a 'you could've been something' type spiel so arial got up, cabbed the 8 stair and nodded back out.
jon klein stole frank gerwer's gf and married her, sending frank headfirst into alcoholism.
PJ had an epiphany and said aloud 'i'll never have to work a real job in my life' then cackled maniacally.
when some goodnatured horseplay got out of control, pigpen curbstomped a girl.
my buddy grinded a UHAUL bumper and the owner of the truck started throttling him. charlie wilkins came out of the cut and put the man in a chokehold.
after he went crazy, kyle vadeboncuer got good at fighting. he'd just practice all the time, fighting anyone in the street.
We need a thread called "stories from the man who sniffs his own butthole". Skate related or not. Interesting shit
(had to modify because butthole came up as button hole, funny but inaccurate)

This is more about a certain pro being a legendary douchebag. So a friend of mine and his gf are at Black Bar (Atiba's bar in LA) when a pretty intoxicated Richie Jackson approaches them. So they have a few more drinks together, my friend is really into all that circus-y shit so he's loving it. Last call rolls around and as my friend is leaving to head to a party, Richie jumps in the car with them. Not wanting to tell him no, they end up bringing Richie Jackson to this party where he walks right in, opens up the wine cabinet of the homeowners, and drinks a bottle of some top shelf shit. When approached about the liquor poaching, the pirate simply responded "if you didn't want this kind of stuff to happen, you shouldn't have people over." What a cock smooch.

A few gems from Shorty's Steve Olson.
1) Doesn't "believe" in paying taxes.
2) Once signed over an entire months pay/royalties to the Hare Krishna's next door to his house.
3) Once saw him take the slam of a lifetime on a triple kinked rail straight to his back on the rail. Thought dude was dead. He proceeded to put his hands together and basically started to bust out a backspin on the ground. Got back up, waxed his board and made it next try. Most insane thing I've ever seen. Later asked him what happened and he said he "just channeled a bunch of energy and fixed myself."
4) At one point in time Steve spent pretty much all his loot on weed. Dude would smoke a half ounce on the daily. Saw him 6 months later smoking a cig and he said he quit smoking weed. Then saw him about a month after that and he was blazed out of his head. Asked him what was up and he said he was meditating on the beach and found a freshly rolled fatty. Took that as a sign that he should always be smoking weed.
5) Did the infamous boardslide off the roof in PB at 6am with his girlfriend filming.

Dude, are you down? I'm down. I'm so happy we're all so fucking hard. Skateboarders are so hard, so fly, and so original. It seems as if the Individual is dying in the world of skateboarding, everyone's so busy being down and like each other, that they've engaged in a fudgepacking gangster extravaganza.

I used to skate at the same skatepark Ben Gilley skated at back in 90s. One day we showed up to skate the 8ft half early one morning. In the side of the Ramo was a door with a sign on it that read "No skating before 9, Ben is asleep".
Thats dedication. Sleeping inside a half pipe in hot ass Alabama trying to make it in skateboarding.
I was always so syked that he went on to skate for Black Label.

Met TK once in like 2003 in like the first x games. It was when his compton ass terry fame was pretty wild, I randomly spotted him and asked if he would sign this big Vans sticker they were giving out. While he was doing it he was wearing some Nikes and asked "wait are you still on Vans?" and he replied " Yeah but i only wear em when i skate" then he handed me the sticker and left. I thought that was weird at the time and didn't know sponsored pros could do that. But then i remembered seeing Koston with his huge collection of Nikes while he was still on Es. Idk i just always found that weird, like your down for the company but not all of time.

He was on some Steve Cab shit like in Public Domain. "Steve how come you're not wearing skate shoes?"
Steve Cab- "Are we skating right now? We're eating ok.... When we're skating I put my skate shoes on."

I used to skate with some dudes who rode on substance NYC and rumor has it that Ragdoll was in the city staying with one of the team riders. I guess the dude has a huge penchant for blow but couldn't find any as quick as he wanted it so he settled for crack.
An old co-worker of mine used to date Scott Johnston. Could be some good stories coming.

I walked into that skateshop Maximum Hesh (of recent robbery fame) and the owner Todd was just looking at a piece of paper kind of awestruck.

Friend of mine heard from his friend that he saw Olson slam super hard on something a long time ago. When Olson got up he started touching the ground then touching himself in different places. Someone asked him what he was doing and Olson replied, "I'm picking up my chakras."
Apparently you can knock your chakras out of your body.

Met TK once in like 2003 in like the first x games. It was when his compton ass terry fame was pretty wild, I randomly spotted him and asked if he would sign this big Vans sticker they were giving out. While he was doing it he was wearing some Nikes and asked "wait are you still on Vans?" and he replied " Yeah but i only wear em when i skate" then he handed me the sticker and left. I thought that was weird at the time and didn't know sponsored pros could do that. But then i remembered seeing Koston with his huge collection of Nikes while he was still on Es. Idk i just always found that weird, like your down for the company but not all of time.
That really is the stuff of legend. I had always pondered if TK wore Nike to chill in.

I read in one of the old 15 things you didnt know about ___ Tom Penny that he was trying to learn 540s on a vert ramp and he would drink a beer after each try. He landed it 18th try. Not only did he make a 540 in under 20 tries but he did it 18 beers deep....
ALL HAIL

i think this was 98??
anyway, he had been completely off the map then and to see him skate in person was a trip.
he looked fucked. his teeth were black and looked so strung out.
my friend said he had some weed and Penny almost smiled... smoked... then did this pop-shuv it.
not legendary at all. put seeing him skate was awesome. i wanted to get my copy of High 5 signed but i couldnt find it before the demo.

Well that was the most interesting google search in some time. RIP.
if you really read up on this kid's posts youd know that he was a genuinely insightful dude that was surrounded by untrustworthy people with only a semblance of the charisma he had. This drove his own neurosis insane because all he wanted was to be around people that werent weird, schemers, or brainwashed cult members. i feel for him because i know the depression that comes when you lose your real friends and are stuck surrounded by a bunch of kooks, and you start thinking that 95 percent of people are just weirdos who want to use you for whatever personal reasons. All my friends are drugged out, in hospital or jail, so i reallly really feel for him now after going back and re-reading some of his older posts. the kid just wanted to live in a world where you werent a slave to society, and felt expressing yourself creatively and trading, along with genuine consensual friendships through skating or whatever is the only way to live your life to the fullest.

I worked with Steve at a skateshop outside of Tacoma, Washington for a few years and then recently he moved back to cali to pursue a music career. He was such a rad and mellow dude and as far as i know he has been pretty sober in the past couple of years.
Friend of mine heard from his friend that he saw Olson slam super hard on something a long time ago. When Olson got up he started touching the ground then touching himself in different places. Someone asked him what he was doing and Olson replied, "I'm picking up my chakras."
Apparently you can knock your chakras out of your body.

A few gems from Shorty's Steve Olson.
1) Doesn't "believe" in paying taxes.
2) Once signed over an entire months pay/royalties to the Hare Krishna's next door to his house.
3) Once saw him take the slam of a lifetime on a triple kinked rail straight to his back on the rail. Thought dude was dead. He proceeded to put his hands together and basically started to bust out a backspin on the ground. Got back up, waxed his board and made it next try. Most insane thing I've ever seen. Later asked him what happened and he said he "just channeled a bunch of energy and fixed myself."
4) At one point in time Steve spent pretty much all his loot on weed. Dude would smoke a half ounce on the daily. Saw him 6 months later smoking a cig and he said he quit smoking weed. Then saw him about a month after that and he was blazed out of his head. Asked him what was up and he said he was meditating on the beach and found a freshly rolled fatty. Took that as a sign that he should always be smoking weed.
5) Did the infamous boardslide off the roof in PB at 6am with his girlfriend filming.
AMAZING! always loved me some steve olson
MORE PLEASE!!!
I always wondered what happend to him. Penny, Muska and Smolik are still out there... where is he ?
I've never met the g but it appears he is a very spiritual MC.

[as for your 'before you were born' statement: I can't expect you to know that I was shaking down a Bagel Bites spokesman for his autograph minutes after his vert doubles run with Andy Mac 6 years before you would do the same to a dude who would later beef with Lupe Fiasco, but your presumed seniority creates two possibilities: you are being condescending to what you genuinely thought was a nine year old over the internet, or you asked TK to autograph a fucking sticker when you were already a grown ass man?]

This is more about a certain pro being a legendary douchebag. So a friend of mine and his gf are at Black Bar (Atiba's bar in LA) when a pretty intoxicated Richie Jackson approaches them. So they have a few more drinks together, my friend is really into all that circus-y shit so he's loving it. Last call rolls around and as my friend is leaving to head to a party, Richie jumps in the car with them. Not wanting to tell him no, they end up bringing Richie Jackson to this party where he walks right in, opens up the wine cabinet of the homeowners, and drinks a bottle of some top shelf shit. When approached about the liquor poaching, the pirate simply responded "if you didn't want this kind of stuff to happen, you shouldn't have people over." What a cock smooch.

It was a joke yeshhhh!. I meant the first one in LA. I was about 14 then, not quite a man i guess but still stupid enough to think for that one point of my life TK was cool probably the same way you thought Tony was cool and probably begged him to autograph your bagel bite. I had only started skating like a year or 2 before then. So no i wasn't part of or followed the first few xgames before it came to LA. I guess i wasn't as cool as you to think i was too good or grown to go watch those skaters skate at that time specially when it was free that year.

good read! hes tight does party boy still skate?
I was there the night that shit happened with Swindell. I'm from Diamond Bar, and they were always around: a little homo posse of Swindell, Steve Mateus, Steve's brother Marc, this dreadlock skater fool Kevin Johnson and Mark and Scott Weber. Everyone jocked Swindel because he rode for Think, everyone else was flow for Poorhou$e. That night in Azusa, this kid named Jason Peters, who went by "2kan" was rapping, with D.J. Ro (Rolando Chavez) playing the beats on his DAT player. Danny Way didn't kill that dude, just punched him. Swindell and Mateus kept drinking, and thinking they were cool gangsters, took dude outside. Mateus kicked him in the back to knock him down, and, after punching him repeatedly in the face, Swindell picked up a giant brick and threw it over the wall were dude was already laying, crushing his skull. Mateus and Kevin Johnson testified against Swindell, then after court we were blazing in the garage talking about it. Steve Mateus served like 2 years of 6 then came home like he was a hard cholo, wearing dickies and his shirt unbuttoned except for the top collar button. I'm surprised he didnt get a teardrop tattoo. Now he's the team manager for Rockstar and just as big a punk as he was then. They were total rich, spoiled "wiggers" who thought they were hard ass. Completely regular and gay.

Everyone jocked Swindel because he rode for Think, everyone else was flow for Poorhou$e. That night in Azusa, this kid named Jason Peters, who went by "2kan" was rapping, with D.J. Ro (Rolando Chavez) playing the beats on his DAT player. Danny Way didn't kill that dude, just punched him. Swindell and Mateus kept drinking, and thinking they were cool gangsters, took dude outside. Mateus kicked him in the back to knock him down, and, after punching him repeatedly in the face, Swindell picked up a giant brick and threw it over the wall were dude was already laying, crushing his skull. Mateus and Kevin Johnson testified against Swindell, then after court we were blazing in the garage talking about it. Steve Mateus served like 2 years of 6 then came home like he was a hard cholo, wearing dickies and his shirt unbuttoned except for the top collar button. I'm surprised he didnt get a teardrop tattoo. Now he's the team manager for Rockstar and just as big a punk as he was then. They were total rich, spoiled "wiggers" who thought they were hard ass. Completely regular and gay.
You know slap is big time when Danny Way takes time out of jumping the 7 wonders of the world to make a account on slap to cast doubts about his murders
welcome to slap danny , please bludgeon us to death with a brick

It was a joke yeshhhh!. I meant the first one in LA. I was about 14 then, not quite a man i guess but still stupid enough to think for that one point of my life TK was cool probably the same way you thought Tony was cool and probably begged him to autograph your bagel bite. I had only started skating like a year or 2 before then. So no i wasn't part of or followed the first few xgames before it came to LA. I guess i wasn't as cool as you to think i was too good or grown to go watch those skaters skate at that time specially when it was free that year.
So I guess what you're saying is you're the kid.
Regarding the It's Fern dudes, Fern jumped from a window high on acid. Randy Rush was shot in a supposed home invasion, and if you watch It's Fern, it's not hard to believe homie was probably selling narcotics.

Chris Pontius sayin in his BB interview that Danny Way would go to the border and shoot the mexicans jumping over the fence. Said Danny would drive around too and grab holda a dude on a motorcycle then gun it and push the dude over.
