1FS Throwback Clip #18

Heres all of H-Street's 1990 video called "This is not the new H-Street video". Have an open mind and pretend that this is still groundbreaking shit, and enjoy.

P.S. H-Street is back...look

Cody MacEntire

Heres a cool clip of Cody MacEntire tearing a park quarter a new one.

Kellen James

Go check out Kellen James' new professional debut part over at Jus Liv'n. This dude is sick.

NYC Contest

I found this cool little clip of a contest in NYC on 4/20 over at SkateDaily. High Def skating with Jahmal Williams, Billy Rohan, Zared Bassett, Dan Pensyl, Manny Santiago and a bunch of New Yorkers getting sic wid it.

1FS Sneak Check #3

Sorry for slacking on the posting. Its been so nice out, so I've been trying to enjoy it to the max. Anyways this weeks Sneak Check is all about the 1st Marc Johnson pro model shoe by Emerica. I don't have a whole lot to say, but they were a rad shoe at the time. They launched right about the time A-Team started, and he had left Maple, if can remember correctly. I have posted Marc's part from Modus Operandi, which came out a couple years later, but he is wearing them in it. They made them for a few years I think.

1FS Throwback Clip #17

Toy Machine's Live is such a feel good video for me. I saw it shortly after I had started skating, so it was one of the first "real" videos I had seen besides 411s. I think I put a Jerry Fowler part in an earlier Throwback Clip but whatever, this is a dope part.

Joey Johnson

48 Blocks always comes through. Check out this part from a video called 35th North. This dudes got a pretty slick style.

Here

D.Way

Heres a really cool clip from the Skate Fairy(Ty Evans). Its of Danny Way and Jakob Rosenberg talking about the last time they filmed together and the good ol' Plan B days. Much respect to the both of these guys for giving us such entertaining footage that still holds its own 10+ years later.

Thanks to Mark for the link.

Fly Society

Fresh

To quote Zach "How many ways can rappers tell you how much money they have?" Discuss.

Thanks for the link Sparkes...made my morning.

Shecks Gets Mega Pt. II

He did do it. That thing is so gnarly, and whats even gnarlier is how un-phased Danny is by it.

check it here

1FS Sneak Check #2

This week I'm going with Dukes J-Dubs. Sorry for the crappy photo, its all I could find...I must get a scanner soon. In the late 90s I went through a serious Jeremy Wray fan phase. I still am a fan, and think his F/S 360s are the sickest in all of skateboarding. These shoes were part and parcel with Jeremy in that era. I had a blue pair that disintegrated in around a week, but loved them anyway.


The Revolution was only an OK video, but I killed this part. Hes rocking the J-Dubs in most of it.

Deathwish Promo

Deathwish is launching soon! It will be through the new Baker Boys distribution and Raj at Mehrathon is distributing it in Canada. The Promo will be released at around the same time. Proskates is going to carry it, so get ready.

¡Viva Peru!

So only 3 weeks until I leave for vacation in Peru. I can't wait. I have been checking the internerd for some Peruvian skateboarding info. I didn't expect much, but I have to say that I was amazed with how sick the scene looks down there. A couple of the clips are of Daniel Suarez who looks to be the big up and comer in Lima. The other clip is a montage of some of the local rippers. It just goes to show how much of a worldwide base skateboarding has. Peru...here I come!

1FS Throwback Clip #16

Speaking of Lavar McBride...Heres his classic part in Trilogy - 1996

Greg Hunt Interview

Slap Magazine has a good interview with former pro, current artist Greg Hunt. Its nice and insightful for all those who dream of breaking into the skateboard world doing stuff off of a skateboard.

Here

Lavar McBride

If you aren't familiar with Lavar McBride I suggest you Youtube him to see whats up. Hes Marcus' brother and an old EMB Head whos been on the low for a while...10 years? Well 48 Blocks is reporting that we will see some Lavar Footy before years end. I'm so stoked to hear this as he has style for days. Can't wait.

1FS Sneak Check #1

Its no secret that I'm a shoe nerd...I don't collect them, I just wear them and skate them, then get rid of them, thats what they're for. I decided to pay homage to some of my favorite kicks over the years and try to wax nostalgic on skateboarding footwear.

The 1st shoe is the short lived Vans Carroll, which I owned a pair of, in this exact colourway, in 96 if I can remember correctly. This was an awesome shoe: Thick tongues, speed laces, pull loop in the back so your pants won't drag. Basically it had all the cool shit for the day with a Vans vulc sole to boot. I wish Vans or Lakai could work some magic and get a re-issue on these. On second thought...maybe not yet.

Randoms

Matt Rodriguez on Stereo

Did you hear in the Daewon Epicly Later'd when Daewon said that Matt Rodriguez rides both of his trucks without bushings and only stacks of washers? Try it. Anyways, hes on Stereo again(he was O.G. Stereo in the 90s).

heres the Press release.

Above is his part from the old Stereo video Tin Can Folklore.

1FS Throwback Clip #15

Ricky Oyola - Underachievers...Do I really need to explain?

Deathwish has a catalog

48 Blocks had this posted so I thought I might pass it along. Looking like the pros are 'Twan, Greco, Ellington and the Lizard King. Sick

More Rumours?

The internet is a buzzing with some shoe company team changes...Is Alex Olson and Anthony Poppalardo off Lakai? They ain't on the site anymore.Is Olson going to Vans? And Poppalardo going Converse? Who knows really? Try to look surprised if any of this stuff is for realz. Also, what is happening over at Adio?

Dave Carnie Reviews Fully Flared

Well, he doesn't actually even mention Fully Flared but its Dave Carnie...what would you expect? Instead we are treated to a funny story about an old run-in that he and Mike Carroll had.

Here

Cody McEntire

You seen this kid yet? Also check his demo footy...pretty sick.

Ashphalt Anthology

The Nutz dropped me a link to Robbie McKinley's new website called Asphalt Anthology. Its a cool little site dedicated to the Girl/Chocolate fam and their videos, all of them. Good site to go watch your favorite parts from those videos. Pretty slick setup.
