That story about how Rodney thought MJ crook nollie varial heels is pretty dope
-
Already on a great start with the Jerry story.
-
Yea, this is one of the better ones. Louie rules.
-
The story about Caswell is hilarious. Weinerschnitzel is the worst of the worst fast food...actually their dipped cones are pretty good
-
If you read the Puleo story in this about the naked Blind rider, and then read the Kasper story in Jerry's "People I Know" you can deduce that it was Kasper who showed Puleo his glistening nude wet body.
-
Louie was in 7th grade in 91 when the first Gulf War started. Deduce his age from there
-
Good one. Specially nice to hear a PJ story from the WHL days.
-
That Leticia story is weird
-
That Leticia story is weird
Fact- when does the slap pile-on start?
I loved the whole thing and bet there are infinitely more stories.

That Leticia story is weird
That one creeped me out

Louie was in 7th grade in 91 when the first Gulf War started.
I don't think so.
He met his friend in 7th grade. Then he says "The first Gulf War started (January 1991) and I remember asking him, “What are we gonna do if they draft us?”
We're usually only around 13 in the 7th grade so If he was concerned about being drafted he was more likely closer to the age of eligibility in 1991.
1991 - maybe 17 years old = 1974
2021 - 1974 = 47 years old
EDIT : I took a break from calculating budget formulas in my spreadsheet to relax on slap and this is what I end up doing SMH

I skated that contest. PJ was literally invisible at that contact, he skated behind the q-pipes flat by himself mostly, then dropped in and won. Beat out Bastien on his peak who got second.
Me and a friend somehow linked up with PJ that weekend and skated around Helsinki with him. Had no idea who he was more then that he rode for Element and had won the contest. A week later I was at a skateshop in Stockholm and they popped in the WHL video. Was pretty chocked and no-one believed me when I told them I skated with him last week in Finland.

That's so rad. Do you remember the sorts of tricks he was doing?

Could be 17 in 1991 but it could also just be a kid worrying about being drafted for no legitimate reason
-
I was in year 7 in '91, and he's definitely older than me.
-
BTW, that article was piss-funny.
-
Tyrone ripping up a 6k check, damn. Great read
-
Smolik rules
-
jim once again proving he's the only pure dude in skating
-
curious people were doing the Louie age estimations around the time of Bag of Suck and determined he was 47 back then as well
11 or 12 in 91 would be 42 or 43 now which checks out for me

He nollieflipped into a quarterpipe from the deck. I don't really remember any other specific tricks but his board control was ridiculous.
-
Class of 91. Do the math.
-
Lol at Mike carroll
"know why you're clapping? Cause that's the best goddamn switch heel you've ever seen"
Also the Leticia manager story Sus.
Casell berry LMFAO the usual
-
Loved everything except that Leticia handler one. Might not want to tell anyone that.

Nollie flip into the quarterpipe, 360 flip the pyramid, kickflip down a gap, fs 360 heelflip a hip, kickflip feeble grind a handrail, fs big heel a bank and a hardflip revert on a quarterpipe.
I remember this because it was one of my favorite childhood skate memories and I am a total nerd. I had not sen the the WHL videopart yet, but had heard about it on this very forum. I remember being disappointed because he was nowhere to be seen during practise and I thought he had skipped the contest. But he was just chilling in the corner by himself. And only touched the course during his runs. A couple of the tricks are in this clip https://youtu.be/7j5dIa1WRls.
-
The whole thing was hilarious.
-
The Dylan story made me cry
-
Such a good read.
Sinclairs “People I’ve Known” piece is still my favorite but this one is definitely a close second.

Checks out. Mainly because those were all tricks he was doing at the time.

Reading them all, there’s def some names like Markovich who get brought up a lot. I’d love for an article that’s stories from all over about one person
-
Story about Leticia's babysitter was sketchy. Dude scaled the hotel balcony to try and break in to her room.

“ Slurpee dude proceeded to piss in the corner of the room, then move our coffee table and laid down on the floor. “Shit on me, JJ!” he commanded. His buddy promptly pulled down his pants and started grunting and farting. He peed on him a bit, but when no poo came out he got frustrated and pulled up his pants and then kicked our wall and walked out in disgust.”
Wtf

If I remember right, there was a trivia question on one of the king of the roads asking who was older, him or Andy Roy. I think they guessed Louie was older but got it wrong. Andy Roy is 44 according to Google, so this also checks out for me.

Andy is older, that thing says born in 76 but I believe it is 1971. 50 this year

"I met Dylan when he was about 13 or 14. For some reason we always shared a room on tour. I think it was because I was always the goofy uncle drinking Bacardi and Cokes and being silly and Jerry was the cool-guy uncle not saying a word, just sitting back, watching, smoking cigs. I’m so stoked he took after Uncle Jer. I’ll never forget the last time we hung out. I had flown to LA and he surprised me by picking me up at the airport. As we drove to the office we just chatted about nonsense and reminisced on old days. I think about that car ride and wished I’d been more honest with him. I wish I could’ve told him I loved him and how I was proud of him. I think about him a lot—one of the greatest to ever do it."
Damn that Dylan one sucked to read. Amazing to recall they both rode for Osiris at home point.
-
Louie is 47 or 48. He's always been secretive about his age because he is in fact a giant fucking pervert and didn't want young ass girls to know.
-
"Yo! Round of Henn-dog for the homies!"
-
Pretty sure Jason Adams accidentally aged Louie in his Nine Club.
-
Louie was in 7th grade in 91 when the first Gulf War started. Deduce his age from there
no, he just said thats when his boy moved to his school.

maybe he should have kept that leticia story to himself
-
I don't think the Leticia story was so bad, that chick probably got a scare but he obviously meant no harm and no harm was done.
-
I was surprised that he knows Daniel Cormier (mma fighter).
-

Yeah, I didn't think it was all that bad either. Pretty dumb and risky move though. Had someone else caught him trying to break into the room of a 13 yo leticia, shit would've looked real bad for him haha

yea, not assaulty, but def a little weird. Like whatwas he gonna do hook up w her in the same room as leticia? On the balcony? Definitely a story that drunk me would understand better. "yeah dude she totally wants to hang just go talk to her, like a spidermonkey! Ladies love spidermonkey Louie Barletta!"
-
Thanks for the share this is the first time I'm reading one of these.
I found the Ali Boulala story pretty funny I mean just the idea of a bunch of guys watching a plane get further and further away from them while they stand there is hilarious
-
I was in 7th grade in 93 and i'm 39 so he was in 7th grade much earlier as i'm almost positive he is about 46-47. Be an obsessed lurker like me and do a free people search and you might find out the truth.
-
The Caswell story is hilarious because I know I've heard it at least once before and I'm not sure where

without doubt sketchy...couldn't he just knock on the door instead of breaking in?someone hrow him in the horny jail now

Dang, had no clue!
Makes sense given his age. Also his skating is even more impressive given his age.

Where does it say anything about him breaking in or trying to break in? He knocked on the glass sliding door, he didn’t try to break open the glass sliding door to get in or anything. Sounds like he probably thought he was being smooth or suave or quirky or something by James Bonding to her glass door and knocking on it, and probably thought she would find it amusing or suave, when it just weirded her out. Doubt he was actually trying to break in.

knew this would derail into some stupid shit
louie’s awesome, these bits give me old skateboarder mag vibes and I miss that mag so much, keep it up thrasher

I know the article says it was published online 4/28/21 and I haven't touched a physical copy of thrasher in a while, but was this out before? A few of them seem real familiar and I've heard the Caswell Berry one before because it's the only thing I know about Weinerschnitzel. Anyway, these People I've Known are great, except for Neckface because all he did was list out celebreties that he had a one off encounter with. Keep them coming.
