I remember when that Natas Kaupas came out it was so demonic, friends...Moms wasn't having some of the symbolism...
Hustle you got an OG Caballero deck in your collection?
i got into thgame, relatively early..first procontest was Munster '92..
for the limited board- yes.. one of the few times I got residuals.. other than that, its usually a flat rate.. anywhere from $2-5k monthly for boards, plus other sponsors pay well.. a 4/5k a month, plus all the travel, product, etc just to do what you love aint a bad deal.. especially in the 90s/early 2000s.. now, kids alot of these kids are seeing that Tony Hawk/Christian Hosoi/Gator dough.. them cats were making like 30k/month on boards alone in the mid-80s..
effect it did years ago, so he has to find a way to keep his name out there at all costs.. be interesting to see if he actually stuck with skating.. i don't think he will.. he'll probly get some kinda "injury", that will prevent him from ever skating again and his dumb ass fans will eat it up.. 
damn, you takin me back. I saw Animal Chin right before I started skating. it was all about street plants and launch ramps. my first board was a Schmitt Stix Ripsaw. I remember my boy had a Hosoi Hammerhead. I think I remember that Hosoi pic. what is that, a 'crooked cop'?
that board, was one of the first skinny street boards with concave and everything..dog, that shyt was TOO sweet..
hustlemania will u teach me how to skateboard so i can be like weezy
no doubt, fam.. anytime.. I guarantee i can teach you to heelflip in one day, and you wont even have to learn to ollie..

and, Rays still around.. hes really good people.. i shot a spread wearing his limited issue Vans a few years back, and he personally shot me a pair.. even after everything, that was huge to me.. i looked up to that dude so much growing up, and for him to do that was a huge honor..
u still mees around on the board, much..? alot of folks from back in the day been getting back in the scene heavy.. good seeing old friends i grew up with, pros, etc back out there just having fun with it
no doubt, fam.. anytime.. I guarantee i can teach you to heelflip in one day, and you wont even have to learn to ollie..
always respected the culture though
im tryna do 540 flips into darkslides down rails and do nose manuals for 3 miles at a time
word to tony hawk pro skater 2
you gotta get ollies.. then kickflips.. then kickflips down stuff.. then boardslides.. followed by boardslides on rails/ledges.. then boardslides on a rail down banks, stairs, etc.. then varial flips.. off, and down stuff.. then half varial flip, so you get acclimated with your caspers.. then, caspers.. follow that, by learning full 360 flips.. off, and down stuff.. once you got that, you wanna take that to boardslide, but your boards not gonna do the full 360flip, before you boardslide.. its more 270 flip.. flipping you board back over after all that footwork & wizardry might be a chore- but, you got this, fam..
thats whats up.. i never played bball serious,but always hooped with my brothers and the older cats to pass time.. they would teach me all these techniques on jumping, and I would train with them alot which helped with my ollies and alot of skateboarding actually.. i still can dunk, to this day and im only 6'1..
nah.. im from Duval.. aside from contest in Pompano(Island Water Sports, I think..?) as a kid- I've really only been in South Florida on tour, or random film trips.. my homie I used to roll with heavy back in the day owns a shop on S. Beach, tho(MIA)..Yo hustle don't you be in the south Flo area? I use to skate as a hobby when I was a teen, now I'm
then, once you get those down- you wanna try 540 flips(only a few people can do em, but you got it..).. once you get that trick, and control it well enough.. you wanna do it to boardslide.. if you get lucky, you might land darkslide..
when you trying to get started on step 1..?
