This was goddamn pleasant to wake up to.

Such good stuff.

Can you fucking imagine having to audition in front of Jason Lee? I’d crumble.

Cardiel recounting was so brutal

Stoked he’s got a new part in the works!

Shit, I need to loosen my trucks again

Great stories, I had also heard he was being considered for antihero when he was on the tent city trip. Gonna get his state shoe when it’s available.

I rode a few supernaut decks
Always loved this dudes vibe
Stoked on Quim and Freddy boards
Reminds me of when skaters were actually cool people

That was such a nice read, and of course, I had to rewatch all his parts. Excited about the fact he is putting out some new stuff.

So wait, who's the vert kook who ruined IPath? Vov?

they were really giving that kind of money to Manny Santiago?

Such a good one! Excited for his State shoe. I drove up to Sacramento one time with a buddy of mine who told me we'd go pick up his friend who was going to skate with us. We roll up to the house, walk up and knock on the door, door opens...BOOM! Matt Rodriguez answers the door. Next thing I know he's sitting in my passenger seat giving me directions to a ditch.

Having an agent does crazy stuff. Manny was also on the front end of the social media craze.

Manny also get a crazy amount of money from woodward every summer to be a visiting pro.

HE CUTS HIS BUSHINGS IN HALF?!

natenola forever · « **Reply #13 on:** October 16, 2019, 10:44:01 AM »

I used to always rock his Supernaut boards that had the shovel nose

Glue Reed · « **Reply #14 on:** October 16, 2019, 11:03:31 AM »

All time favorite. His IPath promo part is pretty much my pre-session hype up part. Holy fuck I miss Cat’s.

And shit... 125 pounds?? Dude must be tiny

schralp pal · « **Reply #15 on:** October 16, 2019, 11:05:46 AM »

His Tincan part is so good. I’ve caught him jamming with tommy at various venues - always great vibes. Stoked on all that new stuff we have to look forward to from him.

I'd also really like to know this. Hard to imagine it being Vov, but who knows

Was there any other vert dudes on the team?

GoneWithTheSchwinn · « **Reply #18 on:** October 16, 2019, 12:59:13 PM »

It was Vov.

schralp pal · « **Reply #19 on:** October 16, 2019, 01:30:47 PM »

Need a history lesson on this Vov person

43 · « **Reply #20 on:** October 16, 2019, 01:58:04 PM »

Big up Matt. One of the few who can skate a park and the footage is just as dope as street.

Christmas Complete · « **Reply #21 on:** October 16, 2019, 02:14:52 PM »

So good, this was unexpectedly one of my favorite CBIs. I love the name "Mexican U-turn" for the BS180/SWFS180 combo.
Man, fuck Vov (if it was indeed him) for effectively killing the brand right as it was about to take off.

A dude I dont know much about is one of the better Chrome Balls. Love it.

It has to be BOB. He put the big ipath logos on the mega ramp jump thing. That's so marketable. Especially in an investors mind.
Not that I have a hard on for Bob either way.

I'd be surprised if Burnquist told them that since he skates street pretty well and seems to know what's up, but you never know. I thought of Max Dufour for some reason.

I wanted to hear about BLKTOP Project, I bought their album.

Crazy he skated non-gripped boards.

Bristol_Palin · « **Reply #25 on:** October 16, 2019, 02:56:10 PM »

knew about the trucks but knowing that he had a skating without griptape phase is wild.
