Truly haunting:
"In 1991 I did a demo in Virginia with Rodney Mullen, Kareem Campbell, Chris Pastras and Jason Lee. This trip marked a moment in my life I’ll never forget – not because who was on it but because of what I encountered in the outskirts of Virginia."
I hit up Shiloh like a man on IG, but he couldn't remember where in VA this transpired.

If you drink and skate it gives you superpowers. It really makes your coordination spot on.

Absolutely they do. A guy I work with was legitimately telling us one lunch break that 9/11 was actually CGI and didn't actually happen. He had recently watched a YouTube video about it.

Gator He killed and necrophilla the person he killed. That’s Nasty. Tha Dude Couldn’t Even Ollie. Learn to Ollie.Slap pies are cool but Ollie’s is betters you will be better even if it’s just cuz you be better then mark Anthony and his bitch ass no Ollie psycho vibes.
Skateboarding like punk rock has been a place where nazis been hiding out in plain site. Jason Jesse and even Indy trucks symbol is that shit. But that came from punk. Punk has always given a pass to the nazis. Before I forget why did Cory duffel have that skull with the Nazi cap to smash in the first place? Punk rock and nazis kissing in a tree. Id be lying if I said I’ve never seen any punk people wearing swastikas. Never saw Darby crash or souise and the banshee wearing that shit. Pretty sure the Sex Pistols never wore that shit either. No reason dead kenedys sang a song about “nazi punks fuck off” No nazi problem there I guess. But I mean the voice of the the suburbs into music is punk. Punk is suburban music. Why is just all 80s Ronald Regan talking though a snotty kids voice and the nazi pass given is weird. I don’t think there is like A nazi vibe other music seens. Like No one’s gonna hand you a hard core vegan zine with Some super racist fascist shit tuck into it between band interviews at the wutang show but they might at that earth crisis opens for slayer or Metallica show. Well. I guess Let’s talk about raves. That shit was dumb fun. When the raves came out in the USA we went crazy. the rave age was amazing. It was The first time we saw pressure flips and xtc Everyone in the questionable video besides Rodney was high as a kite on xtc.
Duffy wasn’t just grinding rails he was also grinding his teeth grinding them rails rave on but let’s be Drugs. Lot of drugs and that lifestyle promoted. Skateboarding is a drug tooJulian Stranger isn’t his real name. jeremey Klein got jarret berry kicked off birdhouse cuz he is gay.
That wasn’t really Ron Allen’s father
Just some sort of racist joke made by white peoples
Steve Berra cried when the bird man hit the apple weed pipe.
1 out of 5 of your favorite skaters has herpes or beats women
Tony hawk didn’t do the loop first
Skateboarding isn’t a career
Heath kirchart shit in Leigh Petersons backpack on tour and that was the last we saw of Leigh. He hates skateboarding Now Don’t be like Leigh. Don’t let shit bother you. But honestly
Johna hill has convinced people he skated and that bothers me. He is an actor. He be acting good. He don’t skate. He ain’t about it. Never let posers throw flags.
Jim Theilbald makes his riders apologize for woke points or fear of cancel cuz they rapped along to a song with the n word.Danny Way has a pet brick in the closet and never send your kid too Woodward. It has a pedo problem
Neil Hendrix and Brian Patch are free
Terry Kennedy killed a man and Slap message board Pals used to collectively mock his mental illness. Shalom

I get skateboarding has always had some edgelord stuff to their graphics. But, I would have thought anyone who lived in the Bay Area would realize how dumb an idea this actually is. Not just for the company, but for the idiot kid who bought it and might be spotted (potentially not even realizing its significance at the time of purchase).

The whole Van Wastell situation was handled very poorly by all involved. Locking someone who is gripped with addiction into a room, with only one way out...I get there were all young, except maybe Jamie Hart, and probably had no experience in dealing with anything like that before, but this all could've played out very differently and Van could still be here today.

Wasn't Ave on that trip and sober by then. I believe there is a photo of him on that trip with Van in Berlin. Either way a terrible result, and who knows who did what, what exactly happened, and what would have happened given the seriousness of opioid addiction.

The initial New York Times obituary on his death failed to mention that Adams, who, as their headline says, "changed skateboarding into something radical," participated in what looks an awful lot like a hate crime a few decades ago. A more in-depth follow-up story published Sunday with the title "In Empty Pools, Sport's Pioneer Found a Way to Make a Splash" devotes one sentence to it: "In 1982 he was convicted of felony assault for involvement in the stomping death of a gay man at a concert in Hollywood."

Its at the latest 1945 (but probably earlier) but it's probably down to opinion if it counts as a skateboard or not. I'm not going to look it up but I think the Nazis may have invented roller skates too. I doubt Germans want to use these examples as them inventing the skateboard so they let the Cali surf bros have it.

A lot of decks released by most major brands from the usual woodshops are actually made of Himalayan Cedar, an important timber tree in Pakistan, Kashmir, and north-western India.

"Then I had a fight with Sean Goff. I was on angel dust, in the moment. We were in a place in the middle of nowhere, on a beach. Me and all the London boys were doing crazy things, I had an altercation with Sean, then I got thrown off Vision. Everything I worked for disappeared. I mean it wasn’t like he was stabbed, it was more scratched. It didn’t matter, but at the same time it did, because it was quite a wrong thing to do. You know, you shouldn’t really do that kind of thing and I paid the price, got thrown off all my companies, lost all my sponsorships. It was really lame on my behalf."

But the Nazi ss was first, and it’s an obvious derivative of that well-known usage. despite what you interpret it as.
Most people will automatically associate it with Nazi Germany, as almost no-one knows Stratosphere.
If Stratosphere is in fact the real meaning, why didn’t they pick a less controversial way of writing the S’s?

always just an accident
seems like those transition guys always happen to stumble upon the wrong clipart folders
funny part is america thinks they are the entire world and racism is black vs white vs east asian
when its fucking clear that facism has killed millions of jews and calls every middle eastern person a terrorist
but im pretty sure you can have a chill sess with them if youre black or east asian that likes beer
Pretty sure that "SS" is Stratosphere Skateboards chill
But the Nazi ss was first, and it’s an obvious derivative of that well-known usage. despite what you interpret it as.
Most people will automatically associate it with Nazi Germany, as almost no-one knows Stratosphere.
If Stratosphere is in fact the real meaning, why didn’t they pick a less controversial way of writing the S’s?
i knew it was stratosphere right away. is this a skate forum or a global history forum?
didnt know what stratosphere was, checked it out and yes the s in their logo is an OG cut out SS nazi logo.
even worse that they think its cool to do SS tags to make it clear it refers to nazi germany.
nothing more important than to know and teach history even when we as a collective are on a skate website.
if somebody knows them or the owner please tell them to stop. its not cool or edgy.
always felt weird when those anti hero dudes would roll up with eagle on their boards, fucking independent trucks with the iron cross on it and at worse are sponsored by stratosphere skateboards (looking at you grant).
it all CLEARLY refers to every single logo nazi germany has used.

It’s owned by GT’s dad. GT has/had a confederate flag in his house. But yeah, total coincidence and no sus racist vibes at all that this family uses nazi imagery and has confederate flags in their homes. Also nevermind that dude rocks the official facial hair of hate crimes;

Desperate to cancel. Grant is actually super laid back and friendly most certainly not a racist or nazi. His dad-while not laid back or friendly at all if you don't know him, is also not a racist and has sponsored/been friends with tons of ATL locals for years.

US is the home of the 4th reich, only ops, dummies, and dupes still rock with the overt symbols.
I'd put these skate nazis in the dummy/dupe category (context not apologetics).

The whole Van Wastell situation was handled very poorly by all involved. Locking someone who is gripped with addiction into a room, with only one way out...I get there were all young, except maybe Jamie Hart, and probably had no experience in dealing with anything like that before, but this all could've played out very differently and Van could still be here today.
What happened?

I get your reach - we're all products of our parents.
But I like to imagine baby Grant didn't say "Daddy, daddy! Put the SS on the garage!" Dude is just skating. Also can't recall any controversy or really anything that can pin Grant as some ig douche. Nice try tho, correct me if i'm wrong nerds

It's pointless. People on Slap are obsessed with divining the hidden meaning of every symbol in the skate industry, which is apparently controlled by secret Nazis, rather than a bunch of drunk morons who, in a pre-woke period, believed that some right wing imagery most closely associated by with outlaw biker gangs, looked cool.
Because, you see, if a gentile sees a certain image, they have a Manchurian Candidate-like reaction and automatically restart the holocaust, and similarly Jews like me encounter the letters "SS" and have epigenetic memory of my grandmother's door in the shtetl getting kicked in by the District of Galicia. This action causes me to curl into a ball for the next six months.

Van Wastell was using (heroin, I think). His teammates took it away from him, I assume hoping to help. Later that night, he either fell from or jumped out of a window and died.

Well it's definitely not a good idea to get someone off of heroin by stealing their stash while they're on a tour in Europe, forcing them to go cold turkey in a strange hotel room thousands of miles from their family or anyone qualified to handle someone going through heroin withdrawl.

its very very important to teach people about the meaning behind the symbols. i do not believe those guys were just fans of biker gangs. and if so do your research since anything those guys talk about is being the real deal. its pretty emberassing and fake to not know your knowledge behind those logos and ripping them of to make your skateboards look cool.. you really think those guys were that fake?

No, I sincerely believe that they were smuggling covert Nazi imagery into all parts of skateboarding in order to resurrect the Fourth Reich.
Edit - I guess that would be constitute the Fourth Reich, not resurrect.

The gator documentary is up in YouTube if anyone's curious or hasn't seen it yet. He is garbage and should stay in jail.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=vw8IzWWwTMs
My dumb ass can't figure out how to embed on here anymore
We actually watched this in my deviant behaviors psychology course back in college and I’m pretty sure I was the only one who knew of the events prior and had the context of the late 80’s/early 90’s skating industry.
Side note: some other dude in the class wanted to find out more about 1010 after watching it, this was in 2011 or 2012 before his nazi shit was exposed.
But yeah, great doc, you owe it to yourself to watch it sometime if you haven’t.

Jason Dill once manipulated a teenage boy to let him inside his parent's house and then stayed there for weeks. To make matters worse, the kid's dad was having a documentary filmed about his rapidly declining mental health and Dill had no qualms with being caught on camera taking advantage of this sick old man. Really dark stuff.

Isn't it well established that a ton of photos or even sequences run feature bail photos. I remember DGKalis going in depth on this at one point. Although you should never run a photo where the trick wasn't made at that session, or you end up in a Dompierre situation.

Good point. I had no idea about they had to change their fonts for German merch/tours. Was just going on the letters(which are clearly different since the tops are cropped. Not saying they aren’t close or defending their use just going on looks only). As fs180 said punch a nazi even if they skate. Did anyone mention the Godoys yet?

OK they were born in the southern part of the United States so if they need to fly a flag there is dumb one with the same ass colors they can use. The Confederate or "Rebel' flag is the flag they flew when they waged a war to continue to enslave people. And they fucking lost. They lost then and they would lose now. It's just a little piece of poop at the end to let you know how they really feel because coded messages were all they had left. Anyone flying it for any other reason is a self deluded asshole. It really only means one thing.

This conversation always devolves into, "it's not hate, it's heritage", followed by the states rights argument. "States rights to do what"... "uhhhhhhh... you know stuff"
William Tecumseh Sherman was a great man. Anyone arguing for the display of the Confederate flag should do themselves the due diligence and read the articles of secession by each Confederate state as well as the Declarations of Causes by Texas, Mississippi, Georgia and South Carolina. William Tecumseh Sherman was a hot sexy man.

Are you fucking serious? This is the textbook level of apathy and indifference that leads to historical atrocities.
First of all, the confederate battle flag was a symbol for an institution that whole heartedly believed in white supremacy, going as far as starting a war over it… there’s been quite a few other symbols associated with white supremacist institutions that are never questioned.
No one should be proud of where they are from, it’s ignorant as all fuck and a tactic used to sow division.
Here’s a few other fun tidbits for you, after the fall of the third reich, all symbols related to the national socialist workers party (nazi party) were fucking banned. So, as a way of being able to self identify was a neonazi, European white supremacists started using the confederate battle flag. Meaning that they recognize that this was a symbol of hate and inline with the same views that they held.
Also, after losing the war, the confederates fled to South America. Ironically, they were able to establish white ethnic enclaves in Brazil and Argentina. And it’s gotta be some wild coincidence that is exactly where the nazis fled too?

Yeah, it's not like everyone flying the flag is a nazi, thinking they are would be even more apathetic than failing to recognize the history, specially since a lot of people don't know/don't care about it and it's been a country/south thing for a long time for a lot of people.
And of course you can be proud of your location, it is one of the main things that will dictate your whole culture, pride doesn't mean you're gonna turn into a fascist tomorrow, it just means you appreciate the influence your surroundings had in you, an extension of self-esteem you could say. To draw a parallel imagine your pride in being a skater and all the situations it has put your through, same thing you just didn't choose it.

that’s the thing though and that’s why i always thought that patriotism and nationalism were sketchy - the fact that you were born where you were born is a total accident and people who are proud of their birthplace usually don’t have anything else to be proud of. it’s literally the same thing as being proud about being white or some shit like that and often leads to xenophobia

Woodward has a "banned for life list" consisting of pros that hooked up with underaged girls at the nearby gymnastics camp while they visited.
When Fucking Awesome's website first launched, it consisted of only an online shop for $100 hoodies as well as a video montage from Bill Strobeck. Said video montage had no skating in it. Instead, it was a montage of footage of people having sex which he filmed through their apartment windows without consent.
James Brockman was beaten up by Shuriken Shannon for getting drunk and going on a racist tirade at him. Same for Andrew Reynolds and Gershon Mosely (there was even a Blind Graphic made for it).
Wes Kramer was banned from the Berrics for smoking weed while he was there.
They filmed a porn scene at the Skate Lab park in Simi Valley. It concluded with the actor ejaculating on one of the ramps.
The stuff Andy Roy admitted to doing in his Big Brother Interview (Snuggle Bandit). This entire thread can subsist on things people admitted to in old Big Brother interviews.
Nate Sherwood apparently appeared in porn. I haven't seen proof of this, but it's been referenced enough times to either be true or an elaborate inside joke.
(not obscure to the older folks here) But Jamie Thomas threatened legal action on the Baker Team for trying to include a video of him skating around naked in Baker 2G.
Mike V made a documentary about all the fist fights he got into over the years. It's on youtube under Mike V's Greatest Hits.
Not really dark, but Lakai paid over six figures for the clips of Eric Koston skating in e's to use for Fully Flared.
Jamie Thomas canceled an account with a skate shop in Albany, NY because they wouldn't tell him the location of a secret bowl spot they wanted to hit for King of the Road. Similarly, Jim Greco was tasked with stealing a shirt from a skate shop in Denver for a KOTR challenge and ended up getting into a fistfight with the owner. It was in the credits of the DVD that came with the mag, but was pulled out in the youtube version.
Beagle beat up Corey Duffel in the middle of the course at the first Maloof Money Cup. Apparently, he sucker-punched him for hooking up with his girlfriend. Odd that Beagle and Corey Duffel would have the same taste in women.

Similarly, Jim Greco was tasked with stealing a shirt from a skate shop in Denver for a KOTR challenge and ended up getting into a fistfight with the owner. It was in the credits of the DVD that came with the mag, but was pulled out in the youtube version.
Beagle beat up Corey Duffel in the middle of the course at the first Maloof Money Cup. Apparently, he sucker-punched him for hooking up with his girlfriend. Odd that Beagle and Corey Duffel would have the same taste in women.

Woodward has a "banned for life list" consisting of pros that hooked up with underaged girls at the nearby gymnastics camp while they visited.
When Fucking Awesome's website first launched, it consisted of only an online shop for $100 hoodies as well as a video montage from Bill Strobeck. Said video montage had no skating in it. Instead, it was a montage of footage of people having sex which he filmed through their apartment windows without consent.

I feel like duffel gave his side of the story on MySpace or something at the time and was like beagle snuck up and pulled him off a ten foot wall and attacked him then pictures came out and he got clowned over the "ten foot wall"
Also didn't Koston fuck with some shop so they couldn't sell Indy or something because they didn't do whatever kotr bullshit.

After looking at it more and watching the clip in slo mo, I guess he could’ve gone over it diagonally. Pop over the bench part cuz it’s lower. That approach kinda lessens it for me. You can hear his tail slap the end, which definitely lessens it even more. Shouldn’t have made the cut, but oh well, done been one up’d anyhow.

Duffman details the Beagle thing in his 9 Club interview. He is friends with the real Josh Beagle, and he had been going around saying that Beagle the filmer was not Beagle. Beagle the filmer took offense to that, and when his back was turned, yanked him off of a wall and punched him on the ground before running away.

Jamie Thomas canceled an account with a skate shop in Albany, NY because they wouldn't tell him the location of a secret bowl spot they wanted to hit for King of the Road.
This was the event that brought Jamie to Slap. Jamie threw a temper tantrum because they didn't give him the location over the phone. He ended up finding it after asking rollerblades at a mall shop. The worst part was when Jamie was super upset over the whole thing and tried to get revenge by printing the location in the Thrasher article, but I guess Thrasher pulled it. He definitely had a Mean Girls phase.
Forgot to mention he wasn't given the location of the pool because the last time he was in Albany he ruined a spot to make a gap-to-rail thing and just acted like a weiner to everybody.

What I took from the still frame posted was that as his wheels were behind the side of the table at the start that he didnt actually go over it, he just did a big ollie on flat next to the table. Is this the same conclusion others reached?

I remember this rumor, except I believe it was Fun, not American Dream. Supposedly one of the Walnut Creek guys was over at the condo where Brad and his Mom lived and saw Ron casually walk out of her room.
Any 1992 Visalia skate camp alumni here? There was a really attractive young lady from Pacifica who definitely wasn't 18 and was seen looking cozy with two different pros at two separate times who definitely were over 18.

I once drunkenly stole a porno from Wade Speyer's house. The porno took place in this old west town that had fallen under a corrupt sheriff and his goons, and in between scenes of people fucking anyway, all the actors talked about The Snake, who was supposedly on his way to clean up the town and restore order. The Snake finally shows up for the last scene that he shares with two women. He's dressed exactly like Clint Eastwood in the Dollars Trilogy, and upon being disrobed by the women, it becomes clear to both them and the viewer why people call him The Snake. You'll have to watch it 'til the end to find out exactly why (no spoilers!).
Anyway, I only realized the next day that the porno was a rental so Wade probably had to go through the embarrassing and expensive ordeal of paying for its replacement. Sorry about that, Wade. I realize that this isn't exactly dark, and not really obscure, I guess. But it's a fact!

Today I learned: AO faked his picnic table ollie in Pretty Sweet
fuckin prove it
i don't get it either. the still in the story didn't prove anything for me just that he could have been more to the right of the table than middle . and his shadow stayed under the table while he went over it.
After looking at it more and watching the clip in slo mo, I guess he could’ve gone over it diagonally. Pop over the bench part cuz it’s lower. That approach kinda lessens it for me. You can hear his tail slap the end, which definitely lessens it even more. Shouldn’t have made the cut, but oh well, done been one up’d anyhow.
they ran the sequence as a girl ad way back and it looked sick as fuck, who gives a shit if he clipped
What I took from the still frame posted was that as his wheels were behind the side of the table at the start that he didnt actually go over it, he just did a big ollie on flat next to the table. Is this the same conclusion others reached?
believe it or not, that would be harder. it's physically impossibel for the human body to do it's highest ollie with no structure to go over so it's possible he veered a bit but i don't think he could be completely next to it and still summons the pop to go over. i tend to drift towards the toe side of big obstacles myself.

Very lame. It’s just people taking up for their friends and not holding them accountable. Furthermore, it’s never up to a white person to absolve another white person of racism.
There's a video somewhere of her low-key bragging about how her and someone else (can't remember) used to poke holes in free condoms and put them back. Always thought that was dark as shit.

So, Elissa didn't actually do that condom thing. But that won't stop everyone from endlessly repeating that rumor. Similar to the Danny Way thing.

Nothing sinister, but pretty damned obscure... back when I was a kiddo, I used to trip out on Dinkins boned-out melons (very first thumbnail at the top of this ad).
Turns out, he couldn't ollie. All of his melon photos (on the street) were done via early grab, which I just find awesome.

Yes I used to know the writer's name but I've forgotten. They're an artist and I think they lived in Texas when I tried to figure out what the deal was with that blog, which was at least 5 years ago. Their publisher also came on and talked about the writer's other work which I believe was all skate related, at least for that publisher. If you want me to put on my profiler cap, I would say they were someone who had flow level talent during the golden era and lived in California until they were pretty sure they were never gonna get put on and then dipped to explore other creative endeavors. There's definitely some insider truth to those stories on that blog but I think that's probably what makes them so compelling as works of fiction.

Yorkite & tarpaper. And, oh yeah… poplar.
It wasn’t until the intro of Bonite XT that the boards were made with maple veneers between the “paper sandwich” laminate.
But THAT wasn’t really a DARK or OBSCURE fact, was it?

Yes, but it’s from the the 70s original version of Skrewdriver. In the 80s the singer reused the name and they became a white supremacist band. A member of the OG Skrewdrivers kid went to the school I work at. Good kid, he explained the 2 different bands same name thing to me
-
"All Skrewed up" album is the punk album by them in 1977. Song is from that album called "where's it gonna end?" . This version of the band ended in 1979. Ian reused the band name later with none of those band members, and then it was the white power band that they are known as.

you’re all assuredly right, but also, maybe just don’t? like it’s obvious what you’re doing - with any skrewdriver song

at the least pick from one of the zillion other bands from that era who didn’t go on to reform as nazis

Holy shit that makes so much sense. A local “legend” from my hometown in coastal Georgia brought back two Atnalta boards from an ATL trip. At the time was grooming this young kid to be the next local prodigy (who died in a car accident 2 years ago) and was diddling him for a few years behind everyone’s back. The kids mother even took in the guy and gave him a place to stay. It was terrible dude. Had no idea that chomos affiliated each other like that in skateboarding.

Also, if we’re talking about creepy predator types, look no further than Woodward. It was spawned out of a gymnastics camp, for crying out loud, & there have been more than enough media stories about THAT sport in the last few years (we all know about the creeps that lurk therein by now.) The skateboarding side was added on because gymnastics was seeing a general decline in popularity among da youts, while at skateboarding was on the rise at the time.
Mark my words, my kids will never set foot in a Woodward facility. Icky vibes all over that place.

Pretty sure that "SS" is Stratosphere Skateboards chill
It's pointless. People on Slap are obsessed with divining the hidden meaning of every symbol in the skate industry, which is apparently controlled by secret Nazis, rather than a bunch of drunk morons who, in a pre-woke period, believed that some right wing imagery most closely associated by with outlaw biker gangs, looked cool.
Because, you see, if a gentile sees a certain image, they have a Manchurian Candidate-like reaction and automatically restart the holocaust, and similarly Jews like me encounter the letters "SS" and have epigenetic memory of my grandmother's door in the shtetl getting kicked in by the District of Galicia. This action causes me to curl into a ball for the next six months.
its very very important to teach people about the meaning behind the symbols. i do not believe those guys were just fans of biker gangs. and if so do your research since anything those guys talk about is being the real deal. its pretty emberassing and fake to not know your knowledge behind those logos and ripping them of to make your skateboards look cool.. you really think those guys were that fake?
No, I sincerely believe that they were smuggling covert Nazi imagery into all parts of skateboarding in order to resurrect the fourth reich.
this or they were just close to biker nazi gangs because biker nazi gangs are just human beings like us skateboarders. s/o jason jesse

So, Elissa didn't actually do that condom thing. But that won't stop everyone from endlessly repeating that rumor. Similar to the Danny Way thing.

Haven’t all of us had that one late night at the bar where you get cornered by a traditional skinhead that has to explain the non-racist roots of the subculture and inevitably mentions that Skrewdriver’s first album is “actually really good bro”
was there an episode of the letters where Jeff wears a Skrewdriver tee? He should have given to his buddy 10/10.

That situation is so depressing, and went on way too long. I remember walking into my local shop and hearing one of the EMB guys talking about her and how she had the clap. He said she was 16, and it was a couple years after the H-Street tour that Carroll talks about, so she was maybe 14 or so at that time. There's a brief shot of her in some of the Jake Rosenberg footage he uploaded to youtube years ago. She's just a kid. I don't think it was just scumbags and EMB kids who took a roll in the hay with her, either. Huf mentions her in the FTC book, but doesn't divulge.

at a Baker demo in 2014 Reynolds was the first dude in the park with his board. Kids and adults alike swarmed him for pics, autographs, etc. One thing that stuck out in my mind was some dude had a blank deck but used packing tape and fixed the (crappily cut out) 'Reynolds' portion of a box of aluminum foil to his board. I don't think Reynolds really cared, but he didn't take a photo with the dude or sign the deck. I believe the guys name was King James on instagram. A heavy dude who would post obviously staged pics of him front crooking stupid tall ledges. I wonder if Andrew remembers

I can't seem to recall the rumours/truth about a Steve Olson Foundation board... but something to do with Kurdt Kobain and Kourtney Love... possibly she saw the deck and had a C&D???

oh and she has a gun in the graphic... so there is that. I'd love to get my hands on one of these decks... I've never seen one.

Surprised nobody's brought up the fact that Ethan Fowler is a massive bag of shit:
So we go to Ethan Fowler’s house, we have this little BBQ then it’s all ‘we’re going to the bar now like, Ethan’s band is going to play dude, sick’. So we were in some little basement bar in Downtown LA, and you know he plays his show – everyone’s had a few beers – whatever… It was really loud in there and so he just kinda cornered me like: ‘hey man, not too many n****rs in here is there? You must feel super out of place dude, look around.’ And I just, I just froze – like what the fuck? He knew that I was the little kid on the team, the new guy coming over here from England, and that he was in this position of power. Like I’m fucking Ethan Fowler, like I can say whatever I want to you. So yeah, ‘not too many n****rs in here, you must feel pretty out of place man.’ And I’m just like ‘errrr’ and I’ll never forget he looked me in the eyes smiling and said, ‘you probably want to punch me right now don’t you? But you’re not gonna are you?’ And then he walked off. I was left there frozen like, ‘oh fuck…’ I didn’t know what to do. I just left and got a taxi to wherever I was staying that night and that was kinda it.

There was a story about Ethan terrorizing a young Quim Cardona on a DLX tour like had Quim cowering locked in bathroom trying to attack him cause he was “a hippie”
From Quim’s chrome ball
Love it. Alright, DLX tours are always pretty crazy. I know there is legend involving a young Ethan Fowler targeting you in a drunken rampage, essentially involving him pounding through the bathroom door Shining-style, hellbent on getting you. Is that true? What actually happened that night?
Yeah, there were moments where things got out of control.
On that night, the cold hotel ground was my bed and I had a folded-up t-shirt for a pillow. I moved someone’s shoes and later when he came back from their party, Ethan thought somebody was pulling a prank. I told him that I moved them and when I went to the bathroom, he started punching through door.
Never move another man’s shoes.
Ethan also spoke about it in an interview I’ll try and find it.
Anyone who knows Quim knows he’s one of the nicest dudes.

Someone got shot and killed outside OneUp Skate Shop over the weekend. There was some sort of fight outside the shop and a 29 year old was shot in the chest. They had some sort of fingerboarder meetup earlier in the night, but usually that kind of stuff clears out by 1030 which is when this happened. The shop was closed but there's a bunch of kids that hang out there and skate the 3 ramps and a box that comprises their skate park afterwards.
Cops are investigating, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if one of the shop rats is involved. There's a bunch of wannabe thug trap dj gun flashing types that hang out there and the owner seems to think its just the coolest thing ever.

Yeah it's pretty cringeworthy watching the arrested development 40 year old dude being best buds with a bunch of teenagers who adore him because he lets them party at the shop. I think I went twice since they moved to the location, but since radio opened there's zero reason to go there. Better board wall, more focus on the cooler, smaller brands, and most of all better people and vibe.

Yeah our scene would really be dying without fingerboard night. And I'm sure the fight and homicide on a fairly quiet residential street is going to do wonders for our community. It's not slander if it's true bud. It's fine if you hang out there, I probably would have too when I was 17. But I'm old enough now to not really give a shit about being cool and I'm not going to not call them out for this bullshit.

I have some friends in the industry who have shared some stuff, not really obscure or dark but one comes to mind. Years before he came out, I knew BA was gay. Well, they told me about it but I didn't believe them 100%. I was a little shocked but equally sad, that if it was true, he had to live his life in secret. There's about two more that I was told about, that I think they will come out in due time. I just hope that these two other individuals aren't hurting and come out when they are ready.
Another one was about Joey Poiriez. His grandma lived in my area and we'd see him at our local park from time to time. I was just about a year or two younger than him but had heard about his drug usage. I was pretty naive back then and didn't put two and two together. Some years later, word got around that he had died, except he hadn't. Then some years passed and I heard the same news, except this time he really did overdose.

Sorry everyone else can see your favorite shop is fucking up dude, you can keep flailing your arms and trying to misdirect that away onto things like my username (it's from a WKUK sketch) or you can step back and look at it without the emotional bias. They've been disruptive to non-skaters for a long time and now they've moved it off Carson St and into a residential neighborhood. There is no defending this shit.
I'm not saying everyone who hangs out or works there sucks. I've had some good long talks with kids who work there and for the most part they're pretty chill (if Drew and his girl are still around they're rad). I'm also not saying everything they do is bad. What I am saying is they're absolutely fostering a culture, intentionally or not, where things like this happen and will continue to happen. It's really kind of sad to see something that should be used to keep kids out of trouble introducing them to it.

Sorry everyone else can see your favorite shop is fucking up dude, you can keep flailing your arms and trying to misdirect that away onto things like my username (it's from a WKUK sketch) or you can step back and look at it without the emotional bias. They've been disruptive to non-skaters for a long time and now they've moved it off Carson St and into a residential neighborhood. There is no defending this shit.
I'm not saying everyone who hangs out or works there sucks. I've had some good long talks with kids who work there and for the most part they're pretty chill (if Drew and his girl are still around they're rad). I'm also not saying everything they do is bad. What I am saying is they're absolutely fostering a culture, intentionally or not, where things like this happen and will continue to happen. It's really kind of sad to see something that should be used to keep kids out of trouble introducing them to it.
Ok, so I guess you missed the part about me saying that’s not my local shop. But also now I’m going to point out how wildly inappropriate and ignorant your reply is by the way you thought you could “relate” to me through your “ “ dialect.
Get off your high horse, ditch that dumbass username, and then hit my DMs if you wanna chat about this more :-*

So, Elissa didn't actually do that condom thing. But that won't stop everyone from endlessly repeating that rumor. Similar to the Danny Way thing.
Are you referring to the D. Way condom story?
All I will say is that the Helens and Kates of the skate world, that have been joked about as funny anecdotes of youthful indiscretion, would be considered trafficking of a minors from the present day perspective.

That thread did not age well with all the woman shaming. Yikes lol
Woman shaming? They were sexually abusing a teenage runaway with glee.
Fucking dark
Also obscure
That situation is so depressing, and went on way too long. I remember walking into my local shop and hearing one of the EMB guys talking about her and how she had the clap. He said she was 16, and it was a couple years after the H-Street tour that Carroll talks about, so she was maybe 14 or so at that time. There's a brief shot of her in some of the Jake Rosenberg footage he uploaded to youtube years ago. She's just a kid. I don't think it was just scumbags and EMB kids who took a roll in the hay with her, either. Huf mentions her in the FTC book, but doesn't divulge.
Wow. Did not realize she was from my hometown mission viejo
( also, recently learned the same place Richard Ramirez made the mistake that got him caught very close to my day of birth. South OC isn’t so boring after all)
yikes that story is awful

Someone got shot and killed outside OneUp Skate Shop over the weekend. There was some sort of fight outside the shop and a 29 year old was shot in the chest. They had some sort of fingerboarder meetup earlier in the night, but usually that kind of stuff clears out by 1030 which is when this happened. The shop was closed but there's a bunch of kids that hang out there and skate the 3 ramps and a box that comprises their skate park afterwards.
Cops are investigating, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if one of the shop rats is involved. There's a bunch of wannabe thug trap dj gun flashing types that hang out there and the owner seems to think its just the coolest thing ever.
More of an opinion then a fact but uhhh ok not sure why you’re here to slander a core shop that does events for the community? ???
Yeah our scene would really be dying without fingerboard night. And I'm sure the fight and homicide on a fairly quiet residential street is going to do wonders for our community. It's not slander if it's true bud. It's fine if you hang out there, I probably would have too when I was 17. But I'm old enough now to not really give a shit about being cool and I'm not going to not call them out for this bullshit.

I have no doubt that few in the skate industry would step to BA, but I also seriously doubt that big, gay, happy, 45 year old BA with his lucrative Nike contract is the least bit concerned what some drunk washouts said about him in 2006.

Then again, I don't see him fighting unless it's in defense. I don't see him provoking a fight.

Anyone know which Rosenberg YouTube video. I have been facinated with the HH story and the fact it was openly spoken about and some dudes seemed proud of it
I was talking recently with someone who knows more about it than your average gossip on SLAP and he said there were actually two HH's. The one on the H-Street tour and then one later who hung around the EMB guys. So, perhaps the first one wasn't quite as young as 14 but she was underage and the whole thing is still really fucking awful. I don't remember which Rosenberg video it is, but there's one with the second HH kind of diving out of camera shot, and then there's another one with footage of another girl who was at Embarco pretty regularly getting harassed and walking around trying to figure out which asshole threw urine on her. Fun times!

The whole Van Wastell situation was handled very poorly by all involved. Locking someone who is gripped with addiction into a room, with only one way out...I get there were all young, except maybe Jamie Hart, and probably had no experience in dealing with anything like that before, but this all could've played out very differently and Van could still be here today.
What happened?
Van Wastell was using (heroin, I think). His teammates took it away from him, I assume hoping to help. Later that night, he either fell from or jumped out of a window and died.
To keep this thread going, because it should: Van Wastell should be alive today, clean and sober, and talking about the good ole' days. I only rediscovered skating a few years ago and couldn't care less about Krooked, but as an LA native, something about this always stuck with me, and seeing his videos from back in the days made me realize what a great skater and dude the world lost in Berlin back then. RIP Van.

sidenote: they are not 8-ply decks
The Heavyweights technology is a standard 7 ply deck which promises an improved strength through two cross-directional X-Band plys. Cross-directional layers can improve the stiffness of a composite like a skateboard deck because the stresses are distributed and compensated. The two plys are also thicker to support the strength. In summary, the decks offer more stiffness and strength.

I used to talk to Derek back then. We played a lot of Counter Strike. His home life was bizarre and he did have a knack for getting in even stranger situations. While his dad did work for some newspaper and did some stuff for the FBI academy if I remember correctly, I really can't buy that story. He hit his head when he was skating by himself.

wow the legend of DerekG. i was a wee lad on skateperception when this all went down but i never heard about the conspiracy theory.. and honestly i’m not buying it. derek was big into robotripping, probably really paranoid, and while i was aware he had a fucked family situation i cant imagine what his parents motivation would be for murdering their own son.. that’s some pretty fried shit to think about a tragedy imo.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be disrespectful. Was a wild story that popped into my head after reading through this thread. I'll take the post down.

So, Elissa didn't actually do that condom thing. But that won't stop everyone from endlessly repeating that rumor. Similar to the Danny Way thing.
Are you referring to the D. Way condom story?
All I will say is that the Helens and Kates of the skate world, that have been joked about as funny anecdotes of youthful indiscretion, would be considered trafficking of a minors from the present day perspective.

That thread did not age well with all the woman shaming. Yikes lol
Woman shaming? They were sexually abusing a teenage runaway with glee.
Fucking dark
Also obscure
That situation is so depressing, and went on way too long. I remember walking into my local shop and hearing one of the EMB guys talking about her and how she had the clap. He said she was 16, and it was a couple years after the H-Street tour that Carroll talks about, so she was maybe 14 or so at that time. There's a brief shot of her in some of the Jake Rosenberg footage he uploaded to youtube years ago. She's just a kid. I don't think it was just scumbags and EMB kids who took a roll in the hay with her, either. Huf mentions her in the FTC book, but doesn't divulge.
Was it this?

I don't know what that girl's name is but the Youtube commenter is right about that not being HH. I since spoke with someone from back then and he said there were two HH's. There is another Rosenberg video of the second one kind of diving out of the shot.

On a Duffs Shoes trip to Lanai (where Rocco owns or owned a house) Jeremy Klein and Heath were bullying Willy Santons.
Before Willy's duffle bag was checked in for the flight back, they both took a shit in it.
More or less everything I’ve ever heard about either of these guys makes them both seem like borderline violent sociopaths.
Any more info on Jeremy Wray being a sociopath? He’s always been one of my favorites so this is a bit disappointing :'(

In his Epicly Later’d one of the filmers or photographers talks about constructing, demolishing, reconstructing, and re-demolishing a concrete kicker onto two different sides of a set of steps for Ricky to get a couple clips grinding them. I guess so no one else would skate it after. Ricky also talks about how half of his “trick” is finding the actual spot so essentially he doesn’t like when other people use his spots (I’m paraphrasing - I forget exactly how he describes it). Not sure if that’s the video you’re thinking of…
I also remember in some Redbull east coast contest DVD where teams competed skating Boston, New York, and Philly they would like name the spots as they were shown (a few spots from each city got skated) and Ricky had taken them to that steep bank sculpture thing in Dickinson Square park as one of the three Philly spots. For that one they described it as Ricky’s top secret spot or something and wouldn’t name it as if anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of South Philly wouldn’t recognize something right off of Moyamensing Ave, in a large park, a stone’s throw from 95. Always thought that was a little corny haha.

Slap's favorite Borra was on one of the most coveted beloved skateboarding companies of all time. 101.
But this is really being stated to see if anyone recalls what got him kicked off? And all the Berra talk had me thinking about this arguably dark fact.

But it being Jovontae rings a bell. I mean its not hard to see how he got kicked off but was geniunely curious as I can't remember and maybe never really knew? I did hear ALOT of people in the 90s that knew him call him a "cry baby".
I would guess Steve would really not like a certain transworld interview of him dug up from the 90s. Its not a good look.

If I remember correctly Berra called Jovante "cool black guy" (I'm not sure of the context but it may have been in response to being called something like lame white guy) and Jovante smacked the shit out Berra. I don't know if that's why he got axed from 101 but I'm pretty sure it didn't help matters.

From Jovontaes Chromeball interview:
"So what did lead up to that altercation with Berra?
Basically he was just getting on my nerves that whole tour and by the time we got to Florida, tension was high. Honestly, like I said, nobody was getting along on that tour. It could’ve been any one of us getting into a fight at that point.
But I was laying on the bed and I could hear something going down but I wasn’t in the conversation. Berra comes and sits down beside me and I ended up saying something and he responds with, “Cool, black guy.”
In fairness, Kareem did say you called him a “white asshole”.
(laughs) Well, I was over it.
But I hopped to the side of my bed, put on my shoes, stood up and punched him. The next morning, he was gone. I guess he caught the first flight out."

"One story I’ve always heard about but have never heard your side of the story on was how things went down at Embarcadero with a young Ricky Oyola.
(laughs) I knew you were gonna bring this up. I always get asked about that and Steve Berra.
But the Ricky Oyola thing was crazy. He was taking photos down at Embarcadero one day while I was out skating. I didn’t even know who he was at the time. Nothing. But I remember he was trying to do the Gonz when, all of a sudden, I thought I heard somebody yell out the word, “Niggers!”
I thought I was tripping. I honestly didn’t even really pay any attention to it at first because there was no way that’s what was being said. But then I watched him try the Gonz again and when he bailed, I actually saw him screaming out the word, “Nigger!”
I was like, “What the fuck!?!”
But I still couldn’t believe it… and then he did it again!
That’s when I called him out. I walked him over to the other side of Embarcadero to talk and I ended up swinging on him. I swung my board straight at his head but he ducked. However, I just happened to be with one of my boys who had a pitbull with him… Ricky basically got chased out of Embarcadero. That was it.
I ended up seeing him a few years later at the Tampa Contest but he didn’t want to do anything. I heard he was talking shit but he didn’t want to do nothing when I saw him.
That shit’s crazy, though.
Yeah, Stevie was just telling me the other day another story about Ricky doing the same thing back at Love Park. Back when Stevie was a little kid and couldn’t do anything about it. He said that Ricky would do that all the time. Just punking people.
He couldn’t pull that shit in San Francisco. I think I was probably the last time he said that shit anywhere"
