Pretty solid read. Damn, Louie is really old lol.
-
if 21 is old I'm elderly.
-
where’s MJ?
-
Makes me proud to be from San Jose. This crew fucking rips. Legends.
-
Was really good, but also this:
where’s MJ?
-
I always assumed Nestor Judkins was british because of his name. Now I find out different
-
Was really good, but also this:
They're probably still transcribing his interview or he doesn't fuck with Jenkem after that one Carroll interview...
This ruled either way
-
The name of the gravity bong was The Comatoser
-
Great piece, would love more pieces like this about things like the World Park or the World Exodus/Girl formation.
-
Great piece indeed, impossible not to love these guys.
“ I remember there was so much nudity from Marc Johnson on that trip that Chris Dobstaff couldn’t handle it. I’m pretty sure that’s why he quit Enjoi”

big guns baby, big gunnnsss

I think my first exposure to Tiltmode Army came from Thrasher's Jaded in 2002. It had the Tiltmode part, Enjoi Tour with Jerry, Louie and MJ etc. and Caswell Berry part too. Think I saw Man Down a little later, but that Jaded VHS was in heavy rotation, because you couldn't get new videos every day.

If anyone's keen to buy VHS copies of Tilt Mode and Man Down give me a PM.
-
I really dig oral histories and this one was a delight.

This is what success looks like

After reading the article yesterday I went home with a couple of tall cans and watched the first two tiltmode videos.
First one was awesome. Then the second one blew me away. Had to show the homies to share the hype

This is my plan for this evening. I haven’t watched anything tiltmode for awhile but that interview made me remember how good those videos were.
Crazy to think of running around a city with a crew that large.

Was really good, but also this:
He doesn't really like to talk.
-
Such a good read.
Loved Jerry’s closing statement, super sincere.
I don’t think there was an era/scene that I wish I could’ve been more a part of than the late 90s/early 00s San Jose/Tiltmode scene (besides maybe the late 90s/early 00s Love park scene, woulda been crazy to have been a part of that too). Those Tiltmode days just looked so fun and those dudes were such lovable goof balls.
-
when friends ask to show them a skate video, tiltmode is one that i always bring up. their videos captured what it’s like to have a good crew of people around you, even if they skated or not. don’t think there can really be another “homie video” like these. really liked reading thru this piece from jenkem & the dudes i looked up to growing up. love how they’ve always fucked with jose!
-
I think the benchmark for a good skate video or at a good skate video from the late 90s to early 2000s is how much you quote it.
It’s actually stupid how much of Man down is in my day to day chatter.
-
Isn't this on Thrasher too
-
where’s MJ?
MJ's ghost is everywhere
-
Awesome article and lots of great photos to go along with it
-
Super cool. Also a good reminder of how rad the Toebock videos were too.
Also, I am not as old as LB, but pretty close and reading this about the south bay/San Jose during this time period, especially when punk rock was going off parallel and there were a lot of good bands from that area, is very halcyon/salad days feeling for me.
-
memoirs of a moron is pretty underrated. chris avery did a hippy jump to slappy thats been stuck in my mind for years.
-
Bump because you should read this article

It took a while until I realized the sample from that song was from Get A Life and when I watched the episode it came from, I exploded like the crowd when you hear the bottle shatter in the Stone Cold Steve Austin entrance

I loved this! such a great read. I love that Jesse Erickson only had one answer and it was basically making fun of us. Legend:
Jesse Erickson: I want to avoid doing stuff I don’t see the point of. I’m not trying to be a dick (it comes naturally), but I was just thinking, “why would I do this?” I don’t have a career where exposure will benefit me, and I don’t understand who would want to hear from me besides ultra skate trivia nerds that I think are lame. We skated for fun and filmed some of it and it was great. That’s about it.
