Axel seems to have scrubbed the internet of that FLiP am profile photo from when he was like 10 years old.  That's a great before/after comparison.

Edit: nevermind, found it.  Doesn't look as dorky as i remember, haha

^This is now 5 years outdated, he's had at least two phases since then.

Haslam/Cobra both went from Fresh to Hesh

I'm sure there's someone who's gone the other way, just drawing blanks.

This one wasn't very accurate to begin with... Didn't he show up to the Fully Flared premiere in his Thunders phase? So that was what '07?

Anyway, the current Greco is dopest.

super greco for me but I don't care he is great.

back in the day when supra was in Berlin for a demo I was there. stoned out of my mind and Muska on the mic for the demo. greco came, found the biggest gap in the park (Nike Shelter) and threw some hammers. Muska asked the crowd: "any greco fans here?" Complete silence in the park, except for one person who screamed "Yeeeeeah Jimmy". That was me and greco gave me a head nod.
Stoked for life hahaha

I would argue against that. His style has developed but he really hasn't changed that much in terms of appearance. He hasn't gone extreme in any direction like way baggy pants or whatever

around 2004/5/6ish I saw Chad Bartie three years in a row at some contest. first year he was 1:1 Andrew Reynolds white shirt, emocut, black slim fit jeans.  Next Year he was full on hesh Duffle, skinny jeans, pink mickymouse t-shirt, bandana around the pot cut.  The following Year he was completely ghetto gowned out.

That was one oft the most interesting identity crisis I was allowed to witness in my younger skateyears
