Neen Williams - Midwest Video

[doomstation55]

From back in the day, wanna say around '02 or '03? He was one of the few local skaters doing gnarly flip tricks, and the switch hardflip down mccormick place still is amazing to me.

[Menudo]

He looks like Steven Olson in Fulfill the Dream

[Jive Turkey]

Pretty sure it's 2003. He's got some tricks in this at  3:21. This video is from 2001 I think. Weird that he went fron Uprise to that shitty shop FA in like a year.

[nino brown]

hes always had that style, weed saved neens life

you think too much, neen never rode for FA skateshop,  what makes a skate shop shitty??? cause FA isn't isn't in the city?? Fa has been supporting skateboarding since 85, how is that shitty?

I don't give a fuck how long they've been putting up boards next to their soccer gear, I think the shop sucks and the people who worked there had a shitty attitude.
You like FA? Well bully for you mother fucker.

you cant beat uprise, but as far as my experience goes fa is a real ass shop. everyone there is super friendly, they do cool events, and they dont sell soccer gear

[Mommy, Shane O'Neil stole the Butter]

They don't anymore? When I grew up that was my local shop for a while. They definitely had soccer and tennis gear, and for a while it was just a small counter in the back of the shop. As time went on the shop side grew, I knew they moved to a new location, but thought they still had the soccer stuff.
I'm pretty sure the fact that the shop existed in the first place was because the guy who owned the soccer shop had a kid who skated and let him sell skate gear in the back. Back before shit blew up like it did if you lived near a place like Arlington Heights, Illinois there really wasn't any way a pure skating skateboard shop could exist based on the fact that maybe 2-3 kids at every high school in the area skated. I was always grateful that FA existed so if I broke a board I didn't have to go all the way to the SCRAP pro shop or wait two weeks to get another board. I'm hyped that it still exists. It was never as big as uprise or even RQ, but its definitely as legit as a skateshop can be. They've been there through thick and thin.

[backagain]

FA is tight. I don't give a shit if they sold sports stuff back in the day. They're legit now and the employees there are tight. If you think otherwise you're probably insecure because those dudes have always been nothing but nice to my friends and I. 

FA is tight. Uprise is tight. The suburbs are tight. The city is tight.

Lets all be friends.






























I love Matt Blevins.

[papasmurfsdog]

back 180 down the UIC hubba stairs(the one whose hubba was back tailed on the hard side by Pete Ramondetta in the new Real video) was fucking outrageous.

[Jive Turkey]

you're probably insecure

Yeah, that must be it. Couldn't be because I thought the shop was crap and the guys working there were pricks.

Now can we please shut the fuck up about FA?

[Willy Santos cut my hair]

i enjoyed that far more than i'd expected. radness

[mcpeepants]

What he said. That was better than any of his more recent stuff.

[rlang]

I back Uprise, but everyone from FA I've ever met has been cool.  Who cares if they used to sell soccer stuff?  I played soccer all the way through college, do I suck?

[Strike A Pose]

There's a boardshop a town over that sells DRUMS as well as skateboards.

Conga control!

Yeah, everybody on here has had great experiences with them and think they are cool except you...it must be that THEY are the pricks, right?

hell yeah everything about thats gnarly. shitty run up and landing ground plus you gotta go at it at an angle.

[victor333]

his trucks are tighter than a crab's buttocks

FA was pretty much the shop I went to from when I started skating til I moved away from the chiburbs (so like 2000-2008). I love that place, the Fa stickers that parody'd forum snowboards and Bass Pro Shop are still on a bunch of my shit and I still have my FA cubs shirt. My mom used to go there to christmas shop for me by herself and she always said they were nice and helped her out and I always ended up with cool shit (except one year I got a gay yellow etnies hoody). You sir, are an asshole.

[defwish]

had the stee since day one.
