I'm trying to remember what the original name was....altered or something like that....I remember a seth cheeks ad of a switch inward heel manny up the pier 7 pad. dude was killin it back then, heard he moved back to Mississippi.

Do you skate peace wall park much anymore?

You've got a great memory! Yes, Altered. As in Altered state of mind. And Seth is the man, Im pretty sure he's in NY right now.

I skate peace wall sometimes, its pretty fun there

Yeeee! I'm surprised I remembered that one, I just remember thinking Organika was definitely the better choice when I seen the name change and the graphics! Did any boards ever come out under that name? I can't remember seeing any.

Seth was the man, for sure. for anyone who's unfamiliar with him:

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

I remember going and buying those lakai's that he's wearing in the clip at the library of the nollie 180 heel over the gap cuz I was so hyped on him. So raw! I wish he would've stayed in the game longer, dude was killing it...maybe he still is, I'd love to see him reappear.

Peace wall is such a fun spot, a lil hairy at times but always a good heavy session going on. One of the big selling points of Berkeley for me!

Yo karl, im thinking about getting an organika "high times" deck as a board to hang on the wall and i was just wondering... is the graphic meant to be a big bud? or something else

As I recipient of many of your spitballs back in the early nineties, I'll have to say I'm honored. I think I'm a better man for it. I'm wondering why is it out of all the EMB rippers only you and Mike Carroll the only ones who never fell off?

Karl, I say this with the most respect possible. In the state that skateboarding is in now, is it hard for pros that arent Ryan Sheckler to make a living? Like, you are not favorited by a whole lot of new generation skaters who don't really skate and love watching Life of Ryan. Bassically, what I'm tryin to say is is it hard to make a living with skateboarding for a more underground-ish pro like you.

Thanks for taking note my man... I'll skate with anyone, no matter there age, race, gender, sexual preferences or geographical orientation. Next time we see each other please identify yourself as A Rolled Ankle, so I can put a face to the name

Too funny! Im glad you being the recipient of many of my spitballs has made you a better man....I was such a mischievous little dude, sorry that man

EMB/SF lives on through all skaters. It being a nebula of creativity and newness, brought us to this point. As far as me, Carroll and Chico being the only dudes who never fell off, thats a hell of a nice thing to say

but I never really looked at it that way. I guess if you say so, then thats what it is.

Thanks for the spitball memories

Peace out sk8ninja.

Yeah, you're right. I do have a brain tumor. Its right above my Pineal Gland.
Im ok though. I saw some big shot surgeon guy who was bragging about how many brain surgeries he does a year. The guy thought he was the ish. Well, he suggested that he remove the tumor and my Pineal Gland, claiming the Pineal Gland to be a dormant body part like the tail bone.
I've read about the Pineal Gland and it is actually very important for a number of reasons. So after they said they're going to take it out I was pretty turned off by that. Luckily its benign, so all I have to do is monitor it for now.

Good question!
Honestly, Its all about who backs you. If you ride for someone with integrity and you do your work, its a good situation. Some dudes have it pretty hard but I've never really had it too bad. Im just thankful to my sponsors for such a long run. I mean, dang, I've been pro for half my life; 17 years now. Im just stoked to still be doing what im doing.
