26SidedCube Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I watched that Song vs Mullen video last night for the fuck of it.. having not sat down and watched a video in over a year... have to say, Song kills Mullen style-wise.. but then Mullen has him on consistantly throwing flatland into the mix. Meh... not the question at hand but it brought me back. I need to see Welcome To Hell again. Speaking of videos.. has ANYONE else seen a video from the mid-80's called Skateboard Superstars? It's got Hawk in it (young as fuck), Hasoy has a section, along with a couple of the other Vision guys. There's a section called Freestyle Superstar and they never say the guy's name... looks like it could be a young Mullen but I'm doubting it. Anyone up on who else was pulling flatland stuff slicker than Billy Crystal back around '85?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahyoulose Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Originally posted by resk-U out of the skaters in the list ronnie creager is the best, but the best skater i think id rodney mullen, hes fucking technical as hell and invented some of todays popular tricks rodney mullen did invent alot of the modern tricks but over the last 10 years there has been an explosion of skaters who are younger.. and adapt his tricks... and make them better... so i credit rodney mullen with the history of skating.. but the new people are just so much better... Guy Mariano is the best on the list Eric Koston is good too.. but i live in Vancouver and i've seen him at 3 slam city Jam's and every year his performances get worse and worse.. in the past 2 years he hasnt even made it to the finals of Slam.. its sad.. i was lucky enough to see the "girl" tour when it made its last stop in vancouver.. at the tswassen skate park here are some of the pics http://www.snowboard.com/members/Photos/members/365125/photos/221505.JPG'> http://www.snowboard.com/members/Photos/members/365125/photos/221503.JPG'> http://www.snowboard.com/members/Photos/members/312629/photos/221533.JPG'> eric koston at slam 2 years ago... http://www.snowboard.com/members/Photos/members/365125/photos/133299.JPG'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26SidedCube Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Pictures... worthwhile input on skateboarding.. a respectable mug... you ain't bad so far! We'll see how you pan out though. :D Who directed you here? A week ago Seeking had this plan... You aren't made out of fiberglass are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahyoulose Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Originally posted by Dr. Dazzle That's right, bitch, do I get some sort of prize?? whatever prize he gets.. we have to split it.. it was a team effort and fiberglass? and i'm intrigued to here what Seeking's plan was a week ago and yes i agree that contest placings mean nothing... and i never said the Eric Koston wasnt good.. i just said that when he was in the arena infront of 30,000 fans.. he didnt really live up to his name..... people expect a certain level of ability and consistancy from their favorite skaters.. and i know that alot of 10 year olds went home on those nights saying, "damn, Eric Koston,.. you suck!"... you namtalkin' about?

duh-rye-won Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 i went street skating w pat a few months ago right after he got out of rehab. he's a fucking animal. he climbed up some scaffolding on the side of a building, jumped onto a double-decker bus while it was stopped at a red light, and did a kickflip from one double decker bus to another. it was the most insane thing i've ever seen. pics should be in skateboarder mag soon i think.
