I can't let you take the new hat heat by yourself, wilbur. here is my new hat...
it was worn by a bull rider at the Newport rodeo a year ago......[/img]

The story makes the hat more rich.

And that opening line...is beautiful....


Sorry Dub...it's a Dickies.

Nice work, just not sure about the man tits.

Beware when putting a woman's name in permanent ink on your body. I have a couple of buddies that have the reminder but not the woman.

[Temperance]

nasty, don't be so pessimistic, man.

some people wear their heart on their sleeve, some people wear it on the outside of their hairy chest.

[Dub Star]

Could be his daughters name?

Or why not just go with a nickname?

Jacuzzi Booty comes to mind.

Wallies stoke me and are going to be my skateboarding focus for the '08. For thos that don't skate, a wallie is like and ollie that you bounce off a slanted wall... harder than it looks but super steezy and functional. A way of keeping your street flow, going...

I learnt them at Glenhaven and have since taken them to real terrain. I've got a couple of sick wallie spots in skateable distance of my house and I've even set up up a specialist wallie set up. Let me tell you about it.

Its 8.75" (square tail, point nose) with some too wide, but very loose Stage 7 169s. It has some 58mm 95a wheels that take me back to late '80s. But the real secret lies in the risers pads. No rear pad and one 1/8" pad under the front truck. This is my secret Wallie weapon- that I learned from Natas' first Thrasher interview in '88. With a higher front truck, your board looks like it just wants to launch, especially in a wallie manner.

Anyway, I got home rom work last night and this greeted me in the mail box. Daniel Cardone. Wallie Shifty! Its on!

[pra_ggresion]

Are you talkin' about ollie first into a wallride or does it require finding a slant into a wall?
You could take it to slappy land too, where you slap a ledge ride up it into a grind.
I gave up on those after months of trying to figure out how this guy we called 'oldschool'(perjorative) did them about ten years ago at my parking lot.

[FP]

'old school?' never heard that term...

but yeah, you sort of smash your board into the corner of a wall (easier if its angled) and even-out, like an ollie as you come off the side.

[pra_ggresion]

That was back in suburban hell. We didn't have any connection with the rest of skateculture except by 411 and Transworld. They talked smack about 'oldschool' so we automatically assumed anyone over 25 must be 'oldschool' and suck.
Except this dude rolls up in an MR2 with bleached blonde hair blasting Pixies and reveals his big wheeled wide board. At the time the only place that sold anything similar was the K-mart which further ruined his ethos. Anyways, that dude 'oldschool' slammed onto a waist-high ledge rode up it grinded b/s came off all in one motion like the wall was a wave (not that we ever made that connection to surfing).
He called it a slappy and the lame name re-placated him but we were all trying it still anyways. The best I ever got it to work was on a curb.
Anyways at least now I'm a little more worldly in my view of skating because of surfing.

[pra_ggresion]

'Oldschool' stuff stokes me. I still think it sounds funny when tricks have to end with 'ies. Oh well at least it's not as lame as the names rollerbladerz give to their trickz. So that stokes me too wheee!

[wyosurf]

so much snow they close the pass... also kinda pisses me off
