Brad Staba horror stories

[Agnarnomous]

Maybe I'm just not hip, or I'm uninformed or whatever. But I've always wondered who TF stabba was and why he is so intertwined in the industry. I've never heard anything about his skating, or his past, or anything else really for that matter. He's always just been some rando with industry connects in my eyes. I'll never be the guy to claim I know everything, and I love learning new shit especially about skateboarding. But it amazes me that after skating for damn near 20 years that I have no idea who this guy is, where TF he came from, and why he is still tolerated after seeming like such a fucking kook for so long. There has to be a reason for this.

His part in Nervous Breakdown was good. Other than that... He’s a meme at this point. Good ol’ Tab Soda

I was at the skatepark once and Brad Staba showed up in a pimped out black 97 ford taurus with pea green flames. He complimented my tits and said "get hungry on it girl" while handing me a roll of nickels. What a strange person i thought to myself while blasting a mondo kickflip better than most girls ever dream of. He seemed like he is from long island

FPOTY!!!
finally some strong female representation on the boards. Yass Queen!

Nothing against you or yours but I hate "Yass Queen" All the gay people I used to hang around used to scream that and now that shit annoys me. Nothing against you though. I'm just a grumpy fuck.

There’s a long, mellow square handrail in Ohio that the locals call the Brad Staba rail. Apparently, he 5050d it with z roller trucks back in the day. The ones that have the giant roller wheel so you don’t really grind.

I think that story is pretty funny.

Gotta be on campus in Cleveland.

I think it's creepy that you can't spell his name without the word "stab". Or "rad". Or the word "bra". Also the soda brand "tab" is in there. If you rearrange the letters shared by his first and last name, you can get the band name "abba". All of that stuff adds up to one big horror story to me.

Mind... blown... someone tell Bobby Puleo! This has got to be a part of a larger sinister conspiracy.

Bobby Puleo... or do you mean, Bulb Bye Poo..?

[Mongoloid]

I always enjoyed his skate footage, and wish he just put out more.

I’m pretty sure the one time I met him at a demo he was wearing a jacket on a hot day. He was also one of the friendlier individuals on that particular Toy Machine tour.

Unrelated, but Elissa was the coolest.

[biggietoms]

savier era staba was sick.

[Owen]

He had a few good clips in a TWS vid from memory. Maybe The Reason or Modus?

[somedudefromnj]

he had a nice frontside flip

[Willie]

Pointed a gun at the cameraman for an episode of Cribs.

His interview in transworld was a top 3 for me. I wore the same pants for a year bc of him.

[Fongstarr.]

Not that this helps but his pizza spot in Point Richmond is pretty decent. He even set it up with some cool Parra art, Iris Skateboard stools and other cool skate things. It's just too bad it's in the middle of no where.

[augustmoon]

i wonder why Tom K quit

[Jimmy The Saint]

But dude owns a pizza shop and is a huge enthusiast witch

Brad Staba a Warlock: confirmed.

Yep that's what I was thinking of

[Squidbeeksmuth]

Ahh man the Brad Staba and BA rumor that happened at a Slam City Jam after party in the early 2000s. After all these years I guess that shit was true, I helped troll and push that one for fun on the old TWS messageboards lolz

It may have been done as a dare or a drunk joke but they were supposedly caught kissing/making out at a bar in Vancouver after the Slam event. This one could be far fetched but another time Jon West barged through the washroom door at some house party and inside there was Brad Staba and BA ass naked wearing nothing but studded belts wanking each other off.

And I mean no disrespect to gays it was just back then it was funny gossip

I know right ? Can you imagine a message board where everyone talks about guys they don’t know personally and think it’s funny gossip? Crazy

I got in trouble there all the time. This was during that period where 75% of the threads were about PJ Ladd. Believe it was dudes from Coliseum doing that.

[Gbeerme]

He had a ridiculous backside 360 kickflip(blizzard) off a kicker for a Savier ad. It was in a video as well, but I can't find it.

[figureitout]

He kick my dog

"You're daughter she come over to my house, and she kick my dog!"

Tab Soda 150% confirmed, etched in Slap stone.
