Dressen appreciation

Bring back Rip Grip

I found some Rip Grip recently for an 80s set up I wanted to be as authentic as possible, complete with Cell Block III. Unfortunately it didn't stick that well and I had to super glue it...

Anyway, here you go. Just know the glue might not have aged that well.

I always loved Eric D.
His versatility in the late 80's in street and mini was always inspirationnal.
One part of his stuck to m mind.The Speed Freaks part with his series of power slides at the beginning.

so I took my fanboying to the next level and wrote a song about the guy!  "Dressen is the man". Probably just watched the epicly laterd episodes one too many time ha!
this is just a snippet of a rehearsal, we haven't recorded it properly yet, but I thought you guys would get a kick out of it

The docu is cool and all but we already knew Dressen is the man, dude above even made a song about it.

[OldieButFrenchie]

I tought that mini doc was good! Somehow did not seem like a rehash after the multiple Epicly Laterd episodes.
then again, I'm a sucker for any Dressen content....

“WOULD YOU LIKE SOME SALAD WITH THAT?”

of all the distractions that are on silver platters for us in every waking moment of our lives, I’m glad that you chose to occupy some of your time to create this. So rad.

@Troubadour26 @funeral_tuxedo thanks guys!

also about this

it's the same kind of physical release as skating for me now. Punk rock is such fast, high-energy music that I'm totally done after playing and screaming into a mic for 2 hours in a rehearsal room!

[Too Frank To Fred]

Well said Troubadour26. Keep it up Frenchie!

[OldieButFrenchie]

thanks mate! Will do for sure.
We are gonna go to a semi-proper studio to record this and a bunch of other songs in January, can't wait!

[OldieButFrenchie]

so....we finally recorded/released it!

[Too Frank To Fred]

Noice! I hope ED The Man gets to hear it.

[back smith]

Noice! I hope ED The Man gets to hear it.

I hope he uses it in a part, with him skating the streets and carving and power sliding and wall riding around town like in Speed Freaks, but he's probably too humble.

shit, I'd be beyond stoked!
I contemplated tagging him on IG when I posted this, but I was too afraid he might not like the song haha....It's just kinda embarrassing to go "hey man, I wrote a song about you !"

Seeing the Supreme x Thrasher bowl competition video with Eric still competing, and looking good, was cool.

The only guy who been skating competitively since the far off 1970s.
