Mat O'Brien.



How's things, O'Brien?
Can't complain, skating a lot.

Why is it you never do your dishes?
What, I um... I've been skating for nine years.

What's with the potatoes, O'Brien?
Roots, baby, roots. I've been eating them for twenty-one years.

Living quarters?
SF, 469ers, with Pailesy, Drehobes and the Saldork.

What's your routine?
Wake up too early for a dead-end job and return home noonish to eat and whatever, skate or die.

What the hell happened to your hair?
Zoo York, Venture Trucks and Dan's old shoes.

Paul Sharpe #3.



For all the kids out there that think Leo Romero is the first guy to grind up a handrail, he wasn't. Paul Sharpe wasn't either, but he gets to be in the Going Up Club. Other members include Jeremy Wray, Ed Templeton, probably Natas and I bet at least one rider for Shut ground or railslide the wrong way once. These are the first ones I could think of off the top of my head. Feel free to include others or make corrections.

Also Foundation was one of the first companies to embrace the internet. Although it is hard to read because of the small type size and color choice, their website and email are listed in the fine print.

Be sure to check out the Chrome Ball Incident for a great interview with Sean Sheffey.

Darren Navarrette.



Darren's been with Creature for a long time. Granted there was that gap of a few years when NHS put the name on hold and he rode for 151, but otherwise it's Creature or nothing. It's got to be really cool to ride for a company with friends you've been skating with for over twenty years.

I maybe should have saved this for Halloween.

Mike Frazier #2.



His part in Tincan Folklore makes me happy. I watched it twice last night.

Also Thrasher posted Remy Stratton's part in Acme's Unedited video from 1994 on their website. Good stuff.

Thanks to Matt Schnurr for stopping by.
