Chris Haslam #3.

"I’ve traveled nearly the entire world with Has and I’ve only seen him eat apples, cheese pizza, and ham sandwiches." - Louie Barletta

I think I somewhat overlooked Chris's skating when he was in his prime. It's probably because he rode for Almost and that company is just not very interesting to me. I watched his part in their 5 Incher video last night. Chris has the right blend of unique tech and gnar that balances out well in action, even if some of his tricks don't sound great when the names are written down.

Blinged out bunnies.

It's more Momentum. They were a Canadian wheel company done by artist Andrew Pommier. I am not sure if they are still around. I liked their ads and they had a solid team that included Rick McKrank, Chris Haslam, Danny Way, Brandon Biebel, and more.

Mike Carroll #24.

Slam.

He's not really Mike McGill and it was only a word that sounded similar to Onyx.

Bob Burnquist #9.

Bob's Amusement Park.

I'm into the idea of building your own ramps and obstacles to skateboard on so you don't have to deal with more people. I know part of street skateboarding is going out and interacting with the surrounding world and that skating is a social activity, but I appreciate the isolationist aspect that can go along with it, too.

Daniel Harold Sturt's self photographed solo loop completion has to be one of the gnarliest things ever.

Pat Duffy #4.

Primus Knowledge.

This 15 Things provides a good amount of information about Pat's history. It covers everything from H-Street to snowboarding to guitar playing and more. His breakthrough part in Questionable was released 30 years ago and a few of the details about Pat are the type of stories that are prone to becoming lost in the sands of time.

In regards to Questionable, I was possibly thinking of Jeremy Klein's part in Birdhouse's Feasters. Gonz does an ollie fastplant in that. I might have to check my tape.

Adam Salo compiled the list.
