Dan Wolfe didn't actually look at the clouds, fool

Fully Flared explosions were CGI done by Industrial Light and Magic/Lucasfilm, it's in the liner notes of the special edition DVD

ILM does practical effects, as well. They probably designed the pyrotechnics.

Isn't it well established that a ton of photos or even sequences run feature bail photos. I remember DGKalis going in depth on this at one point. Although you should never run a photo where the trick wasn't made at that session, or you end up in a Dompierre situation.

Jason Dill once manipulated a teenage boy to let him inside his parent's house and then stayed there for weeks. To make matters worse, the kid's dad was having was documentary filmed about his rapidly declining mental health and Dill had no qualms with being caught on camera taking advantage of this sick old man. Really dark stuff.

I see what you did there. Nice.

nazis and skateboarding are deeply rooted
still can be seen wherever you go



always just an accident
seems like those transition guys always happen to stumble upon the wrong clipart folders
funny part is america thinks they are the entire world and racism is black vs white vs east asian
when its fucking clear that facism has killed millions of jews and calls every middle eastern person a terrorist
but im pretty sure you can have a chill sess with them if youre black or east asian that likes beer
[close]
Pretty sure that "SS" is Stratosphere Skateboards chill
[close]

But the Nazi ss was first, and it’s an obvious derivative of that well-known usage. despite what you interpret it as.

Most people will automatically associate it with Nazi Germany, as almost no-one knows Stratosphere.

If Stratosphere is in fact the real meaning, why didn’t they pick a less controversial way of writing the S’s?
[close]
i knew it was stratosphere right away. is this a skate forum or a global history forum?

So this is the ‘nazi’ S in stratosphere, correct?



If that’s the case, you’re mistaken. That’s the KISS s.



and get after Jamie for Mystery.



Sorry. But the SS bolts are different. Oh and punch a nazi every chance you get.

Kiss has to use a different logo in Germany and mystery had trouble in Germany because of the logo. When it comes to what is the bolts s the Germans probably know best.

Good point. I had no idea about they had to change their fonts for German merch/tours. Was just going on the letters(which are clearly different since the tops are cropped. Not saying they aren’t close or defending their use just going on looks only). As fs180 said punch a nazi even if they skate. Did anyone mention the Godoys yet?

It’s owned by GT’s dad.  GT has/had a confederate flag in his house.  But yeah, total coincidence and no sus racist vibes at all that this family uses nazi imagery and has confederate flags in their homes.  Also nevermind that dude rocks the official facial hair of hate crimes;


Isn't the confederate flag a big southern thing? I don't get these people trying to associate it with nazis all the time, it's like you want a second civil war or something. I mean how many dictatorships there are in the world? Chill a little, let people be proud of their birthplace.

OK they were born in the southern part of the United States so if they need to fly a flag there is dumb one with the same ass colors they can use. The Confederate or "Rebel' flag is the flag they flew when they waged a war to continue to enslave people. And they fucking lost. They lost then and they would lose now. It's just a little piece of poop at the end to let you know how they really feel because coded messages were all they had left. Anyone flying it for any other reason is a self deluded asshole. It really only means one thing.

It would be a gritty reboot of dukes of Hazzard. They main guys would be black the flag would be rainbow and they'd be trying to get away from a racist homophobic boss hog.

Danny Way spawned Chris Jolson’s baby w/ Chris’s wife Julia during their 2 week separation.
This is why the child’s name is Daniel Junior & not Christopher #2.

Other than that, I suppose the Fabry banging Sheffey's wife and Sheffey on finding out, beating Fabry to a bloody pulp and running him out of professional skateboarding is pretty dark for me.  Just not sure how obscure it actually is.  Not to mention I've got pretty delicate sensibilities.

does anyone know if a small child really died at a vert demo in the 80,s after a board flew out and hit them in the head?
is this rumour , myth, urban legend , or a factual skateboarding dark hidden secret?
