Favorite classic country singer?

That's a tough one. It's a toss up between, Johnny cash, Waylon Jennings, and Willie Nelson. I'll leave it at that.

He's # 4. Mama tried is one of my favorite songs ever! I'm also a fan of Johnny Paycheck DAC and even some Hank Sr.

The Jim Phillips Screaming Hand is an enduring ICON that represents skateboard culture in general.

As a professional skateboarder for Santa Cruz, and someone who has actually commissioned THE MAN* for graphics... what are your fucking thoughts?

*Or was it Jimbo?

And for the record, I would like to reinforce the idea that Jim Phillips' mixture of hot rod art and surf aesthetics translates into what is timeless, iconic skate culture imagery. Dude created the Indy logo. The Rob Roskopp. The Natas panther. Claus Grabke. MY PERSONAL FAVORITE, RAY MEYER BUSINESS DUDE. Those graphics feaked me out, they were so sick.

Weigh in, son.

*Or was it Jimbo? It was Jimbo. I've never had a graphic done by the OG Phillips, although I would love to! He was about to once and then things got dramatic. I love all of Jim Phillips art, and the screaming hand is enduring as are a bunch of his graphics. My fucking thoughts are this; Both Jim Phillips and Jimbo Phillips art is rad and should either be hung up or skated and beaten to shit, you choose! SC por vida!

Emmanuel,

There is a guy that I would see at derby every once in awhile who skated like Julien Stranger. He has a neck tattoo and looks tough as fuck. One time he rode up on his cruiser and stuck his knife in the spokes. He does shuv-it lips and slappy front boards going fast as hell on the slider at the top of the snake run. Do you know who I'm talking about or anything about this guy? I think he's my favorite skateboarder...

Didn't Wes Humpston do the Natas panther?

Mullet Man · « **Reply #218 on:** June 18, 2011, 03:48:17 PM »

Yes, apparently he did it in 1988 when he went by the name "Jim Phillips".

That Wes Humpston sure gets around!

Hi Eman
In 'Prevent this Tragedy', I was stoked to see you skating the 'Swiss Banks' (they have also been skated by Jeff Hedges and Claus Grabke in 'Streets on Fire' back in the day). I also skated these banks a lot when I was younger, as I live in the same town about 2 miles away from them. I was just wondering how you liked them and if you got kicked out while you were filming there. If yes, how was your reaction to the security guard. You are one of the pros who made me start skating again after so many years (I originally started in '84). Greetings from Switzerland!

I do. I have the Salba voo doo girl in the boiling pot on my back. Corey Chrysler did it for me when I was sixteen.

I know exactly who you are talking about! His name is Casey and he's been ripping forever! I also love watching him skate that place!

That rules you are skating again! I was born in 1984, so that's extra rad!
We never got kicked out from the spot, and were able to film as long as we wanted, minus some rain. I love that spot! It is one of the most incredible places i've ever seen! I will skate them again, I have too! Greetings back at you from SC!

I got a pretty crazy screaming hand done on my shoulder right after I made that last post. I'm officially DOWN FOR LIFE!

Your canvas in the new Thrasher is sick. You and Santa Cruz should turn the one with the lion-demons into a blacklight poster and have it come with one of your boards

Where-ish is this spot, from your PTT part?

I feel like its shown up sporadically in videos and magazines for years now, and it looks super fun.

Pretty sure he covered that question on almost every page of this thread. Read first. Plus it was the contents sequence

The spot is in Switzerland, and was freaking amazing! One of the sickest natural terrains I've come across! Don't recall the exact name of the town though, Wintertour maybe?

Yet another item for the European itinerary. ? I feel like the first time I saw that spot was in Mislead Youth, maybe, with Jaime skating it in the credits... ? I've been wanting to skate it ever since.

if you could help one of the country's most active and established DIY spots ( www.marginalwayskatepark.org ) get $25,000 just by clicking some links, you'd do it right? and if you could use your position of influence with the kids to help even more, you'd do that, too right?

well.... http://pep.si/kO7QVU

we're chasing after this $25,000 grant from pepsi right now.

we're in 40th place right now, and we have to make the top 15 to get the money. 9 days to rise 25 places.... we gotta really power this thing through.

you can vote on the website, or by text, by texting 107335 to 73774.

you can vote every day between now and july 31st.

any help you can give us would be sincerely appreciated, man. if we get this money, we could completely finish the park by the end of this summer, get on the city power grid so we can stop running the generator for the lights and tools, get a much needed honey bucket, dumpster, etc.... this could be HUGE for us.

so if you could vote, and maybe facebook and twitter the link around for us from your various outlets, it would mean a lot.

thanks.
