There was this really awesome website in 1998/1999 that had a lot of videos of Wisconsin (Milwaukee?) skaters. It was when there really wasn’t much online videos to watch, but this site had a LOT of video to watch.
A lot of it was your homey camcorder type stuff, but Mr. Lugska himself as a young buck was at the very tippy top of talent.
I remember thinking that this dude is fucking GOOOD: I wonder if he’ll be pro.
Sure enough, like the next year or something he was blowing up.
The smoothest thing I think he was doing was 270 boards. Maybe even a flip in there.
I don’t know… he just always had talent and really smooth style that stood out.
If anyone can remember the website…
Wait, a minute… was it… WISKATE.com? Does that ring a bell to anyone?
*edit:
it
is WIskate. Holy shit. And the site still exists.
