Okay. Shit. Someone help me find a photo of someone skating a rooftop(?) with a favela backdrop. It’s not a box, I want to say it was a white marble bench. It’s been on this site before.

Lurking Chromeball Incident

Probably not yet considered "classic" as it is more recent, but does someone have a picture of Jamie Foy doing a front crook on a rail with his perfect reflex in a glass door below? I remember seeing this picture some 4-5 years ago but I can't find it for the life of me. I remember the photo had some brownish hues and I'm almost sure it was shot somewhere in Europe.

This one is really great. The closer you look at it the better it gets. So much going on in there. I remember to have seen it, but don't remember who shot it. ~~Morford? Anyone has any info on it?~~ Found it on Frank Gerwer's Chromeball Incident.

Had this on the cover of my binder in 7th grade for MONTHS before I realized it was switch. And that's how old I was when I learned people did shit switch.

Not quite a classic but thought people in here might find this amusing, a Choppy Omega ad for Gravis in The Face magazine, April 2001

Found this browsing online photo archives. Sick

This is actually gnarly considering the ramp, setup, and era.

^ That's Skitch Hitchcock at a demo in the UK. He was one of the very early 70s skateboarders, and I think he might have been the first to ride switch. There's videos of him spinning around and then riding backwards. Not seen anyone doing it earlier than him, and it wasn't a thing till the 90s. Made his own fibreglass decks and produced his own trucks. There was someone of here called SketchHitchcock a while back.

So cool hearing this, I'd never heard of him before now.
Is this a barefoot gorilla grip jump too? Makes it so much more gnarly.

Went to the Woody Guthrie archives yesterday and unbeknownst to me, Glen Friedman had an exhibit in the back. Favorite photo in the gallery, Mullen and Minor Threat

There’s a shop uploading old Thrashers and I found a couple of good ones.

Does anyone know if there’s footage of either these two?

The heelflip looks so random but I’d love to see it.
