The Misfits.

American Psycho.

A version of The Misfits resurfaced from the swamps of New Jersey in the mid 1990s. They released a new album on Geffen in 1997. A partnership between a horror punk band and a skateboard company that likes spooky stuff totally made sense.

Speaking of New Jersey, Thrasher has a new Out There story with Fred Gall. Fred is out there in the overlooked parts of the state building DIY spots with concrete and still ripping.

The photo is by Frank White. It's probably not the same guy who played second base for the Royals. I'd venture a guess that the little photo of Jason and Eddie is by Jai Tanju.

Hanzy stands up on a tall 50-50 in the dead of the night.

enjoi's Bag of Suck turns 15 this year. Chops has an entertaining interview with Louie Barletta up at the Chrome Ball Incident and the new Thrasher has a feature on the making of the video.

Joe Nemeth.

Joe is from Las Vegas, Nevada. He made the switch from one monster squad to the next in that he rode for Toy Machine and then switched to Scarecrow. He's got a pretty good command of flip tricks and upped his game to include handrails for his part in Disturb Not the Sleep of Death, the Scarecrow Wheels video from 1996. Joe is not related to Crazy Eddie Nemeth.

Thom Hornung #2.

Haunted ollie.

Thom is from Louisville, Kentucky. He has ridden for a few companies over the years, including G & S, Maple, and Scarecrow. I think he is or was involved with the Otherness, a small board brand that sponsors Brent Atchley, Barker Barrett, and Shannon May. Thom also helped launch Home Skateshop in Louisville back in 1994.

Props to Mark Suciu and the British Tom Knox on the music choices in their latest video parts. See, we don't have to be stuck listening to oldies. You can use far better contemporary bands like Siouxsie & The Banshees and Cluster. It's easy.

Scarecrow Team 1996.

It's spooky season.

This is the Scarecrow team from 1996. The crew included Jason Adams, Thom Hornung, Ben Horton, Dorian Tucker, the late Crazy Eddie Nemeth, Joe Nemeth, and Ronnie Marshall. They timed out a Halloween advertisement perfectly with the calendar.

Adrian Mallory #2.

Adrian locks into a scary noseslide.

Did they Photoshop Navs into the background?

James Hardy #3.

Snakebite.

James preforms a difficult nollie to frontside feeble down a handrail. He was quite the rail and gap destroyer in his prime. There's an extra sick kickflip over a grass gap in that old Fallen video, too.
