My first time skating in BC I somehow ended up staying with colin McKay and later rick Howard. This was while they were filming for virtual reality, which is fuckin insane to think about now. We kept in touch up till maybe 10 years ago or so. Colin is fucked. Rick is rick, one of the best people ever. I also met Mike Carroll through rick and hes def. One huge asshole.

Before appleyard got on flip I skated with him alot. I was already on my downswing but holy fuck was he destined for greatness. Watching him nollie flip crooks everything at maybe age 15 was insane. Still talk to him once in awhile.

Jeremy wray is awesome! Skated with him and pat shortly after shs came out and pat is probably the most underrated rail skater ever(probanly because his parts had no rails in em lol)

No idea how we met??? But drake Jones and I have been good friends for along fuckin time. Hes the best dood out of any pro I've ever met. Calls every week just to see what's new. Hes also introduced me to Mike york about 4 years ago and Mike is a really awesome guy too.

Lots of canadian skaters I'm still friends with, or was friends with.

I also skated with Tom penny in some random arena and I dont even remember where it was? Some of the footy was in a 411 i think? The awkwardly amazing switch tre on flat, switch back lip on this rediculous small pyramid thing that was damn near impossible to skate. That was easily the funnest skating I've ever watched. Tom in his prime, having fun and just doing everything. His flatground at that time, was unfuckwithable and it's so weird because you never seen any of these tricks in videos. He did inward heels that looked amazing, proper hardflips waaaay before proper ones even existed, switch frontside heels. It was just weird because you never seen anything like that from him. Anyways I fanned out and only skated about half the time. But the highlight was him and I doing pressure flips at the end of the session trying to one up each other and he obviously destroyed me but that was really cool

Hmm my buddy Lee was at that demo, you know him? Hes native, skates.

Does he run colonialism?

I met that dood but I'm not 100% sure if that's even his name. My memory isnt too good.

Naw hes a hesher. Still skates.

Ah ic, doesnt ring a bell. Did you know crolly? RIP. All those boys in Winnipeg, Mike McDermott runs green apple now but still rips.

Also Steve nesser is not too far from me so we chat abit. Minneapolis foods rip. Everytime I'm in town I link up over at la familia and go skate with those guys, even though these days a leg injury just has me pushing around.

39 now bro and all those injuries sure tool their toll. Lucky I can walk

Skated with Crolly a bunch just randomly down at the plaza. I know Mcdermotts older brother well. Mikes friendly. What are you in the states? Minneapolis foods?

Went to a go skate day/wild in the streets event at skatepark of Tampa in 2010 that the emerica team was at. Took a break from skating in jumped in the bed of a chase truck and Reynolds also jumped in. Got to shoot the shit about Lakeland for a few mins. Later that day, the team was skating the old bro bowl and templeton was chilling by himself so I went up and chatted. He ended up drawing some cool toy machine esq doodle on my emerica backpack. Still have it.

Run into lance Conklin from time to time and we’ll talk about tattoo shit. He also cane into an old job of mine and stared at the case of cheesecake slices for a couple mins before bouncing because we stopped serving desert already.

Kelly heart drunkenly FaceTimed me a couple weeks ago.

Had the whole Hoon crew invade my local park once. They were calling all the little kids at the park cunts and saying hilarious stuff like "outta the way cunt" as they were charging through the park. They were so good that all the kids naturally stopped skating to watch. As they landed tricks, they would hi-five and say "that was straight filth, cunt!" Never heard such gratuitous use of the C word and I loved every minute of it. Australian's rule.

I'd kiss and tell but honestly most of the dudes I would hook up with weren't bad guy's so I would spare them the details but Angel Ramirez was a fucking asshole in fact most of those Wetboys dudes were dickriding Denver park kooks.

I meant doods, auto correct lol. I'm in ontario but only about 4 hours from Winnipeg so I skated there lots. That's also where I met stenger(through mcdermott).

Also, I must have it twisted, but yeah, the guy that runs colonialism is fuckin cool! I've got all his boards on my wall. My favorite is the RZA/ graphic. Hes hooked up alot of kids on the rez here and I have utmost respect for him

mark nardelli got really hyped on my all-green cruiser at a street fair. asked if he could take a pic of it and put a sticker of his friend's flower shop on it. he was very nice.

Mark Nardelli rules. I helped him when I was working at the Genius Bar. After that he would always say what’s up when I saw him at LES. When I was helping he showed me some 5boro graphics they were working on. It was my shinning Genius Bar moment.

Me too, it was within 2 weeks or so ago, and he liked or commented on maybe a month old post. I was on the fence with it being possibly genuine or it being the lutzka bot thing.

Can we find out about the "liking-app" or whatever the fuck you would call it? Surely it can't be hidden from the public. Is it really a bot? It's hard to imagine a pro-skater using such technology. I want to know what it is.

I would skate with Travis Stenger anytime dude came into Edmonton from Leduc 1997-2000, which was quite frequently. Even in those early days of just skating without cameras in our early/mid teens everyone could tell that he was a rare and special talent. I quit skating in 2001 and lost touch with everyone ;( Fast forward 15 years later to my midlife crisis I'm back doing it (since 2016), and it is nice to see his name being dropped here and there. Not only was he inspiring to watch skate but he was also the nicest / most level headed guy in our crew, IMO. I miss those days. Shout out to anyone lurking / reading this who skated in Edmonton late 90s... Ed's Shed forever

And that just sparked a memory of skating Ed's Shed park with just a few dudes in there, one was Paul Machnau. I did a varial flip over the table top and he approached me with some words of encouragement/praise for a youngster. It was a cool moment I haven't forgotten.

Saw gonz in Chinatown walking and drawing on an iPad. He looked up and saw my eyes widen and just said hi. Ran into BA in New York a few times, always said what’s up and he’d always politely respond. Talked to tyshawn way before cherry came out when he was still pretty small when we were walking off the same train. Ate at the same hibachi restaurant as tony hawk in like 1997. Went to high school/skated a few times with Austin Amelio (walking dead) who is actually a pretty solid skater.
