This famous photo has all sorts of awesome, but there is a mystery. Anyone know who "Chris Marben" and "Ryan S.", etc. are?
What is the story here?
EDIT: SEE BELOW FOR UPDATES!

UPDATE #1: CLUES.
The internet is a serious thing, so I've done some investigating. I have found some clues.
On Youtube, there is the following video:
Old skateboarding footage from Marben (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5JgHycFX4I#)
"Old skateboarding footage from Marben."
Furthermore, the description of the video is:
Old footage of Will Woo, Ryan Stangland, Shane Jenks, Anthony Smith, Dan Hessler, Jeff Stratton.
(bold italics mine)
Is Will Woo 'Will W.' ? Is Ryan Stangland 'Ryan S.' ? And who, or what, is Marben?
UPDATE #2: MARBEN.
Who or what is Marben? Looks like Marben is a person. No city or town named 'Marben' close to SF at all (google maps). The person who posted the vid on youtube is 'freindnamedmarbs'. I don't recognize the spots in the vid above, but a second vid (the only other vid posted by this person) has a bunch of SF footage starting around 2:50 (and even some Hubba footage at 3:30!):

Note, the title is "Marben skateboarding", so I'm thinking this is Marben (footage seems to be of all one person). This has gotta be Marben, I mean, he looks like someone who sucks big fat hairy cocks right? Compare:
Will Ferrell Answers Internet Questions (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwmlZ-wxjzI#)
Or maybe Marben is the filmer? Note, there is a Zac Marben snowboarder, but I'm sure he doesn't like cocks of any size in his mouth, since he is from Minnesota.
UPDATE #3: A LITTLE MORE MARBEN.
As my esteemed colleague fulfillthedream has pointed out (see his post below), the curious word 'marben' appears in the Urban Dictionary. The relevance is unclear, and the word has been voted thumbs down 3 times, and only a single vote up (from me). It seems like an inside joke of some kind. Judge for yourself:

UPDATE #4 KARL WATSON DOES NOT KNOW.

Karl, I got a tough historical question about Hubba Hideout, and I'm hoping you can help.
I'm trying to find out who sucks big fat hairy cock, in particular those listed on Hubba in this photo:

Any clue who those guys are and what the story is behind that? This mystery cannot go unsolved.

urban dictionary ;
1. marben 3 thumbs down
1. to describe someone who will usually set your homepage as something dirty like goatse.
2. to describe someone who has performed autofellatio or has a compulsion to show others their pubic hair.
3. to describe someone who has too much Hentai.
1. "Oh man, i just got marben'd by a marben. I haven't felt this sick in months."
2. "I heard him complaining about a sore back, although i'm pretty sure he is a marben."
3. "You know that marben? Well don't go near his video collection unless you like cartoon bondage."

There are 3 thumbs down votes on UD for this definition, and not a single thumbs up. I'm thinking this is irrelevant, unless perhaps marben, or his friends, put this on UD? Seems like an inside joke to me.
In any case, thanks for the input.

Ryan Stangland, who may very well be "Ryan S." has a bunch of parts in various vids on youtube, anyone know this guy?
