matt beach appreciation thread
« on: December 08, 2006, 12:51:40 PM »
this is for my fellow freind, we dont get to skate much anymore he's always working at ups, and i wish we had more time to skateboard , like the good ol days!

hands down, he is the best skateboarder thats ever came out of oregon or lived in oregon.

the dudes untouchable.

His part in Can't Stop was amazing.  I loved it.  He's always seemed to be just under the radar though, for whatever reason - he really should be as big as say Rowley or Carroll or somebody of that status.

I've been down since his part in 'Ravers.' Over the years he's had lots of coverage, and his part in 'Can't Stop' was my favourite that year. That bs 50-50 across the bridge is just gnarly--such board control. Those UPS guys don't make that much dough; with enough hustlin' even flow dudes can live phat. It would be a shame if we didn't get another Matt Beach part--and soon.

one of the most underrated ever!!!

should be a big big name, he saved this toymachine demo i say in springfield mass.

tony hawk should get his head out of his ass and put him back on birdhouse and pay the kid.

oh, and plasic bench nerd, i saw an old arsenal ad of yours in 411 #30 last night and i was laughing my ass off thinking about this raymond molinar shit.

Yeah, he's great - I was lucky enough to see him skate at Vans Generation '97 in London, and was really impressed. Consistent, stylish, technical - everything you could really want. Definitely want to see another full part from him before he disappears from the scene...

matt beach is one of the greats.
but matt working at ups and plasticbenchnerd not even skating full time thats what i call a waste of talent.
i guess the industry can be a filthy bitch but you should take advise from Guile and start your own shit,  a wood company, team as follows, beach, fortune, mikey chin and javier sarmiento. if theres still a tiny bit of hope left for the world of skatebording that shit would fly off the shelves.

When I think of underrated, Matt Beach is the first guy that comes to mind. Or second. He's way up there and has stayed under the radar somehow. How's a dude like Willy Santos rise to the top of a team (at the time) and Matt Beach not? Scandalous.

yeah, thanks for all the kind words ,


but what i meant to do with this thread is hope that people could start posting some of matt's parts and maybe some sick photos if anyone has them,
im living out of a box right now and i cant find my copy of "cant stop" and the only thing i have found on the internet is old birdhouse footy, anyone have his 411 profile? that shit was off the charts!

Sorry if I missed something, but is bench nerd Jamie Fortune?


I think there should be a company with all the `forgotten legends´ that just dissapeared from skateboarding. I would hook up Lavar Mc Bride, Kareem, Matt Beach, Jamie Fortune, Shawn Mandoli, Ronnie Creager (although he is still in buissiness, but on the wrong company) and a lot more I can´t remember at the moment.

They all dissapeared before they could afford their bentley out off their paychecks.

I just watched that birdhouse part...
I didn´t know he had that much style. It´s totally amazing, even if he lands a trick sketchy.

I would pay him 5 bucks if he comes out with a new part. Who is with me ?

i'm with commercial D, his can't stop part was my favorite of the year, and my 2nd favorite of all time.   I think if he wanted to have made it huge, he coulda moved down to california and done that up.  But from what i hear, he didn't wanna leave his hometown, which i really respect.  Been a big fan of his since his early birdhouse days.   Seeing him skate in person a few years ago, he exceeded my expectations.  

Jayme and matt starting a company sounds like the best idea i've heard all day.
