I went to school by staples center and it was never really a bust until the girl and chocolate teams came through for like 3 days in a row while filming for pretty sweet and basically caused staples to knob those perfect ledges and all the other ledges around the outside making skating staples really boring now in my opinion. All we have now is a manual pad and stairs.

Steve Berra ruined the last weekend at Love for the locals.

Jahmal Williams ruined all of Boston even before PJ.
We just all focused our decks and quit.

Not a pro but somebody who thought very highly of themselves/was basically one of the top looks of greater sydney who didn't understand his nickname "the hero" was completely sarcastic once came to a DIY we had just finished building and proceeded to skate around at top speed.
We kept like physically blocking him and being like oi stop it's not ready but he had massive headphones on and just thought everyone was like trying to watch him skate and accidentally getting in his way or something.
After maybe ten mins he stops for a second and before we can tell him to fuck off he's instantly like yeah How'd you guys find out about this spot? my friends built it all to which one of our group responds you're not our fucking friend but he didn't understand.
Finally we get him and were like yeah don't skate all the stuff it's not ready and he says something like it's ok I'm pro I can handle it.

ah I don't know any Hugo (altho I guess one of the group could be called Hugo, don't know all their names). Kinda don't want to say his name because apparently he's ok now but for years him and his crew were just the worst. Like think they were putting on a demo everytime they skated a park.

Greg Lutzka got a photo wearing a fedora on this rail in my neighborhood. The spot lost all credibility that day.

I've skated pulasksi a bazillion times and never once seen someone bring beer and pizza to the locals. It's not burnside, you don't have to pay off the people that live under the bridge, you just have to be sensible and not a asshole.

Damn that sucks. A session without listening to Mike v’s poetry is like eating a hot dog without a bun.
I especially like his most feted and known poem, “A Treatise on Physical Harmony,” which goes as follows:
Roses are red
Your eye’s black and blue
Your urine is crimson
I beat the shit outta you

I went and skated flat at Tompkins when I was in NY for work, and Eli was there and was so nice. My trucks had some serious jiggle so I skated over to some mystical figure sitting on a bench and digging in his backpack. He looked up and it was Eli Reed…I was shocked. He was cool as hell though and gladly lent his skatetool and made small talk.
Fully back his weird ass dance shit he’s got going on these days

You wont get chased out if you come empty handed or anything, and its not like back in the day where you'd get vibed out of the place. BUT You'll def have a better time if you come bearing gifts.

Jamie Thomas gave the exact coordinates to the Albany pool in a Thrasher. Albany pool was not my local spot but now i know how to get there. Thanks Chief!
That didnt blow it out though he just kookd himself hard. On the other end of the spectrum my friends and I were skating a ledge spot in Brooklyn this summer and DC came through with mad beer and we just stopped skating and ended up drinking a bunch. Does that count ?

Wtf is wrong with this dude. How can anybody be this much of an asshole. Fuck him

I can't believe I read that entire shitty interview. What an insufferable clown of a kook.
Here's the story isolated so Easy Slider or any other curious party don't have to subject themselves to any more of this fried bozo's words.
Brixlegg is a big park as well though, that must have been fun…..
Err… well we fucking had a lot of Jim Beam! We brought like 4 or 5 bottles started drinking at 6, hung out at the park, watched some skating, hung out with the locals and we were just all fired up knocking all the tables over, harassing the beer tent, playing dice, losing hundreds of dollars! It’s getting fucking weird. People are scared of us. They wouldn’t even fucking approach us (laughs) because we would yell at every person that would walk by. So we’re like drinking and doing whatever and then we had a fire. We were like let’s start a fire so we go to the street course section and we take all of the banners even though they were on the bracket system it’s on a huge poster and we took it down and we started to burn all this plastic and then we were like, oh it’s the fucking fun box over there, no one was even skating….I didn’t see anyone skate it, so there was a little grind box and I pulled it over the fire and we started to light the wooden skate park on fire which is funny because we were reading a book called Lords of Chaos and it’s all about black metal and shit and they fucking burn churches (laughs) but this is was our version…..we burned wooden skate parks!
So people got all pissed at us because we were burning their shit and they came over with the fire hoses and sprayed it out and we were like oh fuck the party here is over. So we went back to the hotel and it was like 9’o clock and we were like fucking hammered. Some people were blacked out, everyone at the hotel was outside eating dinner it was like 20 tables set up there was a full crowd people were kind of relaxing having a nice dinner and we all went on fire and sat down where ever the fuck there was as open chair, yakking at each other. I don’t know what the hell we were talking about but one of their dudes came up and he was like I’m sick of this shit, got up out of his chair he was sitting about 10 tables away.
It got all quiet, he came over, got in my face, he was like “you disrespect us, you don’t respect what we do here” and I’m like, what the fuck are you talking about man? He was like “you fucking Americans just come over here you scare people you were scaring people all weekend people were timid around you.” We were like fuck man that’s just how we ride man, and he was like, “you don’t respect what we do”. I’m like fuck what you do here, we built this shit, this is Dreamland man, this is American built, this skate park in your shitty arsed town, you should be a lucky man you should feel lucky that shit is there! Don’t fucking talk shit to me about how you think I feel about Austrians or whatever….it was like a real bummer. Then Frank Gewer spoke to some other kids earlier and those guys were pissed about that too. Frank was like “you can suck my mother fucking dick” when everyone was eating and it was quiet. No one said a thing before he said it and he yelled it out and the dude just ran over and choke-held Frankie, dragged him off his table like pulled him away out to the street!
We don’t want to have a fucking fight man, these people are tired, we got nothing to fight for like. I’m not trying to fight but they were getting in our faces and then Omar’s whole team got into it, we were hammered on the Beam we were just hammered you know, what the fuck. It was still light out almost all of them had weed and couldn’t handle it and they were trying to step up but we got our asses kicked!
We left at 7 in the morning to get on the train and we were outside of the hotel and Omar hears us outside and he came out of the hotel to the front of the hotel and getting in my face what you still want some? You think T.A (Tony Alva) knocked your teeth out I’ll knock your fucking teeth back! Do you remember Marseille a few years back?
Yeah…
You remember the Austrian kid fucking cradle fag? I was getting a burger over there and I seen him he was like “what’s up you fucking cradle boy” and he was like “you fucking burned my fun box!” I was like yeah, I did! I thought he was joking like it was alright. He was like “yeah you fucking try that again come down by yourself next time!” I was like what the fuck you got a problem with that? He was like “your fucking team, they don’t skate, they just drink booze and don’t skate so what the fuck”! I’m like, that’s how it is man, don’t think that you know us, what are you judging us on? You don’t really fucking know us…that’s our life! So don’t even bother trying to defend your shit, we are just being ourselves….You know what though, shit happens but we all make up. One night, I had a room with Jake Phelps and in the middle of the night Jake was sleeping on this futon couch thing, then he fucking tips the thing over and falls and hits his head on the light stand and he has a big scar there now!

This happened (and Thrasher appears to have scrubbed their video from YouTube). My recollection was that there was a part of the video (maybe it was on Instagram at the time?) which involved Andy Roy and a sex act with the minor depicted in the homemade "BORN TO FUCK" t-shirt, with his dentures in her mouth at 6:00, but do not quote me on that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTw2bITiL8Q&ab_channel=JollyRogerTV
And it resulted in this (https://www.confuzine.com/2013/11/10/hermanns-hole-diy-missouri/).
They said in Thrasher they “lit it up like Vietnam” and that’s what they did. It was like an attack of coked out gremlins. Those guys sucked. The weekend was great until the black thrasher cloud rolled in. They acted like a bunch of asshole – tough guys with something to prove. Or more like pirates!!! Fires, graffiti, beers tossed into the bowls, trash, girlfriend snatching, fighting my friends, shit talking and just pure disrespect. I will never allow any of those thrasher guys, Antihero, Grant Taylor, etc. back to my place again. They are very unwelcome!!! It’s was like an attack of terrorism. No thank you Thrasher. And your music sucks too!

yeah, JB Gillet with some other early 2000s Cliché team mates went to a local spot in my city at the wrong hours and shortly after it was made unskatable.

It's in his bunt interview, he was saying some older dude wouldn't let him and his boys skate his ramp so they burnt it down in the middle of the night. I can't remember who the older dude was but i don't think it was anyone well known.
Grosso took a little jab at him about it in another podcast/interview where he talked about not being allowed to skate someone's ramp and then he said something to the effect of 'but we would never burn a ramp down or anything like that, that just seems sacrilegious'. Something about the halfpipe being a sacred place haha

Anyone who thinks you have to bring “payment” to skate Burnside has clearly never been there. Reputation aside it’s one of the more welcoming parks I go to and the people there are juiced when a newbie is learning how to handle that place. I grew up at Burnside, you won’t have problems if you don’t cause any.

What if you're not a newbie but you're just a regular skater? I had a friend go there by himself and said the locals were pretty unfriendly although there was no heckling or anything. Said it was a 'one at a time' kind of park so everyone would watch you as you skated. I've been there too and it was empty but I was alone and it had been raining and the concrete was a bit slippery in the dark areas so I barely skated.

It’s all way different now, especially after covid. It’s not like the old days where wed go into the city and the cops would impound your board if they caught you skating there .

One time when I was a kid Chris Cole was trying a trick on a rail at this school that we would regularly skate at. Some of us were watching him from a seemingly respectful distance when one of his homies yelled at us telling us we were too close for Chris. We moved to the other side of the street and started a “fuck Chris Cole” chant. There were no winners in this situation but the story brings a smile to my face.

Salba tagged an empty pool in my old neighborhood. I think it was in an abandoned motel, so no big deal, just seemed like a dick move to get an already sketchy spot shut down.

This is the weirdest "out of towners" tribal mentality I've heard of in skating... It's a public park, nobody spent any money or time to make pulaski skateable. When DC skaters travel, are you showing up to eggs, pier 7 or macba with a 30 pack and donuts for the "locals"?
That being said, I've skated pulaski many times, I've waxed the ledges, filmed lines and never encountered this vibe at all, everyone's been friendly

Woah, TNT and Frank sound like real pieces of shit.
Side story to that trip :
In Sugar magazine, french skateboarder Max Genin told how Frank gave him the end of a beer during the Bowlrider contest and an hour after or so Max (16 at the time) started to experience acid effects and he went MIA for 24h. He came back to his senses as he was wandering by himself in Marseille... He also suffered occasionnally from resurgences of these effects many months after the event.
That's how you become a legend in skateboarding apparently...

Exactly. Only time I’ve seen someone get vibed was a crazy bum talking trash that got swarmed and beaten by 10 or so people swinging boards…

If it was a beautiful day in Portland people were pro probably skating elsewhere. I’d say you got lucky going there on a weekend without encountering a billion people skating the curb in the road while 3 people skate the park

I'm just some schmuck who rolled in from nowhere and I was like "Hey guys, I'm here to skate Burnside!" and everyone was super friendly. I just do my usual kill 'em with kindness thing and cheerily assume everyone is interested in being friends and then no one vibes me. This attitude works lots of places, and makes it easy to get along with people.

Found an German article about the Austrian incident and ran it through deepl
https://www.boardshop.de/boardmag/skateboard/artikel/bowlriders-tour-part-i-brixlegg_aid_19568.html
Another important story from Brixlegg was the after-contest dinner at Hotel Iris with many riders, organizers, photographers and scribblers, because the cozy round was repeatedly interrupted by short brawls. It is impossible to reconstruct exactly how the fight started, but it must have started when the Anti-Hero crew behaved conspicuously loud and out of line at their table. Tomi Toiminen, Quiksilver Team Manager and
main responsible of the whole tour, also complained about it to
Tony T., Tony Miorana, Frank Gerwer and whoever else was there.
Properly fueled by alcohol, first words flew and then fists. These antiheroes lacked any respect that one should have as a guest in a foreign country. Omar Hassan and Brian Patch also got involved after Frank called Omar a "nigger". In the end, it was Tony Miorana who took the brunt of the punishment and left the field of battle with a correspondingly damaged body. Bad luck for him, as he had already been given a shiner by the legend Alva himself in Marseille the previous year.

Say it ain't so, Frank!

To be fair to Trujillo an T-mo they were super young, T-mo surely couldn't have been older than 20.
-
I’m surprised Tomi Toiminen didn’t take the entire AH team personally. I remember hearing stories from back in the day when he often came to the UK to skate and wasn’t afraid of a scrap.
-
Skate Rock tour came through where I used to live and I had to spend a day cleaning up an abundance of fireworks, beer cans, and random trash at the spot. Bad etiquette.
They owe.
-
Damn, Brian Patch was so mad at Frank that he stole Andy Roy's girl then made love films with her for the online
-

In my opinion, being young doesn't excuse this shitty behavior. By 18, you definitely know the difference between right and wrong. Anyone who says otherwise is kidding themselves. Trujillo trying to write off their behavior as "THIS IS JUST HOW WE ARE!!!" is incredibly embarrassing.
-
It doesn't have anything to do with being young. He continued to be a kooky asshole for YEARS. He's probably mellowed out a bit after having kids but I bet he still sucks. Wasn't the Priya incident just a couple of years ago?

Guess thats why none of those dudes drink anymore.

I ruined Pulaski by not bringing beer and pizza to the locals, but I'm not pro tho
I've skated pulasksi a bazillion times and never once seen someone bring beer and pizza to the locals. It's not burnside, you don't have to pay off the people that live under the bridge, you just have to be sensible and not a asshole.
Yeah I feel like the whole pizza and beer thing was something that people took way too literally
You wont get chased out if you come empty handed or anything, and its not like back in the day where you'd get vibed out of the place. BUT You'll def have a better time if you come bearing gifts.
This is the weirdest "out of towners" tribal mentality I've heard of in skating... It's a public park, nobody spent any money or time to make pulaski skateable. When DC skaters travel, are you showing up to eggs, pier 7 or macba with a 30 pack and donuts for the "locals"?
That being said, I've skated pulaski many times, I've waxed the ledges, filmed lines and never encountered this vibe at all, everyone's been friendly
The "pizza and beer" is definitely taken too literally. And no it's def not the olden days.
A lot of it works like being at a party. If you have a 12er and someone looks thirsty, ask if they're interested. If you've talked to someone for the last 15 minutes and you are going to the CVS across the street, ask if they need anything. Alternatively, instead of a pizza and beer, say hello or offer a handshake or ask me if that was switch. (Thanks but it was not switch.) These all work. I think it's more don't isolate yourself/don't act out of pocket/try to interact with folks/enjoy the company.
And, yes, i do the same when i travel cause i feel like these are just a good look. If i bring a six pack to a spot, I offer folks a beer. If I'm in a foreign city and meet skaters, i go up and shake folks hands. And it has gone a long way in my experience.

There was these perfect marble ledges that went straight out off of 5 stairs. Some kid took the Osiris team there and they broke a bunch of shit. That was the end of that spot for many many years.

Damn, that Trujillo story is fucked. Why do we keep supporting these dickheads? Why does DLX let shit like this fly? It’s one thing to be anti establishment or whatever but you don’t have to be an asshole especially towards other skaters or people who have not wronged you in any way.
I’ve always gotten some weird vibes from Antihero but this is just horrible. Unfortunately I love DLX decks and Antihero frequently has shapes that I find interesting. From now on I’ll try to focus more on getting Krooked, Real, There & Unity decks instead or something that’s not DLX at all. Fuck those guys. I don’t want to support people like that.

He's the Jimmy Carlin for tube socks wearing bowl slashers. And compared to Andy Roy he's tame
The cOrE image gives AH an untouchable status so everyone can keep telling himself thats all true Skateboarding and it has to be like this and criticizing them is blasphemous

Anti Hero riders seem to have a problem with saying the hard R. Especially for being such a white team.

http://www.caughtinthecrossfire.com/skate/interviews/tony-trujillo/
this interview is insane.
I was on the train the other day and fuck it man, the only girl I talked to that spoke English was from Mexico or something and she let me sit next to her and I was just reeking, sweaty armpits, I hadn’t changed my pants in a couple of days and I didn’t wipe my ass properly! So we got on the train and we post up and sit, and it’s all old people it’s like a graveyard in that train! This lady is like “can you please put your shirt on, you are perspiring” (laughs)”and you made the seats wet” (laughs) I was like…I haven’t even sat down yet but fuck……fuck you, I’ll put it on! So I took my shit and went to the next car…
this is disgusting

Wtf is wrong with this dude. How can anybody be this much of an asshole. Fuck him
Woah, TNT and Frank sound like real pieces of shit.
Side story to that trip :
In Sugar magazine, french skateboarder Max Genin told how Frank gave him the end of a beer during the Bowlrider contest and an hour after or so Max (16 at the time) started to experience acid effects and he went MIA for 24h. He came back to his senses as he was wandering by himself in Marseille... He also suffered occasionnally from resurgences of these effects many months after the event.
That's how you become a legend in skateboarding apparently...
i guess being 16 at some crazy event like that might explain why Max Genin would take "the end of a beer" from Frank Gerwer, and it's always seemed like Frank's a decent enough guy and all--especially considered amongst many of those AH people--but Frank definitely seems like the last motherfucker i would accept "the end of a beer" from...

i wouldn't take the end of a beer from anyone. that shit's gross.

To save anyone the time and trouble There is no Southbank video. no trace of it in the original thread about him spitting on a lil girl and using the N word, only people asking for proof
