Jason Dill #15.

Stranger things.

I'm not sure which is more bizarre, that Dill was on Quicksilver or that he's doing an inward heelflip. They hid a bunch of good stuff in the back of those 300 page Transworlds.

Al Partanen #7.

Parts grinds the gnarly park in Ecuador that the Hellride crew visited a couple of times. This is from the Illenium days before Creature was resurrected from the dead. Jake Phelps' graffiti on the edge of the pipe from three years earlier has been painted over.

I got a new pair of shoes that need to get broken in ASAP as my current ones are losing their grip. I went with another pair of Accel Slims, but I realize I maybe should have at least looked at what the relaunched version of Fallen was offering.

Ed Templeton #28.

Overhead projection.

What's funny is that even with shooting this on film and using a projector of some sort for the effects, the film would still be scanned into Photoshop to create a file to be used in a page layout program. Although in 2001, the design program most likely would have been Quark XPress. Ya just cannot escape Adobe.

Ed does have hands, he's skating in black gloves, as was the style at the time.

I think there's a new Toy Machine video on the horizon.

Anti-Hero Team 2001.

The Eagle squad circa 2001. I think Pete would have just gotten on after the demise of 151.

Lori Damiano.

"Historical figures vs. BMX local legend, who will be the winner?"

That's a great concept and title for a work of art.

Lori has done board graphics for Girl and Toy Machine, along with shoe graphics for éS over the years. She was an illustrator and columnist for the Skateboard Mag, too. Her artwork has been used by a variety of companies, musicians and publications, including the New Yorker, Poler, Bonnie Prince Billy, and Volcom. Lori holds degrees in film and animation and is currently a college professor teaching animation.

Diego Bucchieri #4.

"Your last name, it's too hard to pronounce. You are from Argentina, you love meat, and your hands look like knives when you skate. You are the Butcher. Chop-chop." - Jake Phelps

Diego slices up a set of stairs with a half cab.

Dustin Dollin & Jim Greco.

The kids those days.

Dustin had been riding for Stereo and Jim had been riding for Zero before Baker became an actual entity with products beyond a bootleg VHS tape of 100% raw street skateboarding. They both turned pro in 2001. Both are also still riding for the same company, although Greco is on sister brand, Deathwish. I picked this one because I like how simple, yet bold, the layout was.

Deathwish is making stickers of that first tape now:
