got the chance to meet him at his pub a while back and he's definately the nicest pro ive ever met. the place was packed and there were a ton of top industry pro's and photographers there and he still took out about an hour of his time to chat and play me in a few games of pool. one of the greatest people ever.

Hensley is defenately sick. And Flogging Molly is a great band. It's a win win.

I still have his h-street sit down dude silhouette t-shirt in over washed rag condition to the untrained eye, but a total cherished memory to me. It's grayed (ex-black) and will stink however I washed it.

I love that picture of him in the same TWS interview where he does a backside ollie on a bank in the afternoon sun, and there's also some jock in a Nike shirt jogging there. One of my fave skate pictures ever. Can somebody scan it?

Know where you came from? Skateboarding today is nowhere near where Hensley was at sixteen years ago.

Someone posted that photo of him in '92 skating in Seattle a while back. Somebody post it. It's him ollieing on a giant cowboy hat.
One of my favorite lines is the one of spiked meth drnewton does off of lou pearlmans viarga and toddler-blood induced erection that finally puts that bitch 6 feet deep.

Sturt deserves half the credit, however, for making this image timeless.

Goddamned right! Hensley and Barbier probably had more of an effect than anyone while I was growing up skating... but Matt just fucked up people's minds. I went through seven King Sizes as a kid, too. One of my favorite boards ever.

yeah dude!

WRONG.

Sturt is lucky that he got to shoot it.

I was so into Hensley that I used to wear the same green army cargo pants cut off into shorts every day
(with chain wallet of course), because I read in one of his interviews that was what Matt did. He was the man.

I remember searching for a smiliar shirt that he had on at the high ollie contest forever ago.

one of the true untouchables. from the first seconds of shackle me not and his early gullwing video footage...became one of the greats. and as someone said, always made the time to talk to everyone and made you feel like you weren't a grommet but someone worth talking to. was lucky to meet him after the london hokus pokus premiere in the OG slam city and talk about records and bands for a bit, a cherished memory for sure.

the blunt to mayday on the bank to wall is one of THE gnarliest tricks ever, the flip backside melon over the bin, the picnic table to nosewheelie, the backside nosebluntslides, bench high backside lipslides, the one foot variations, the miniramp 540 one foot, so much given to skateboarding.

i've been wanting one of those gullwing 'inside out' tees for almost 2 decades now. i might just print my own
