my good friend danimal over at surf & destroy gave me a call the other day inquiring of my personal measurements- gee what could this lead to.. so today i cruise over to vans in cypress to try on some clothes. of course, ’slowmar’ hassan was in the parking lot on his sled and also on his cell (i fucking see you everywhere dude, what the fuck?!) anyway, danimal showed me around- and damn dude, vans has their shit together.. makes other action sport companies look like huffy. good friend, jerry badders was mia- so i snuck in this shot of an old ad of his..
danimal then showed me around- touring the vans ramp & friends, showing showrooms (?), and explaining the simpsons vans and showing me all the displays they had up in the break room. i guess only 100 pairs of each shoe were released (DAMN! helloooo ebay!) by each artist…can’t really recall how many artists there were in total, but i did remember this douche bag.. love to hate him, or vice versa.. you pick..
(forgive the flair/glare- i didn’t have an assistant handy…)
this is the board in the display- they screen printed each artists simpson face on random shaped decks along with the shoes, and a drawing of the simpsons family… pretty hot shit.
thanks danimal for sharing your area of work, with us here at radballs.

Found some rare footage of a band Chad and I used to be in. I believe this was captured during a tour supporting our debut album entitled, Brick Don’t Hit Back. It’s large file, so please be patient.
is exactly what slayer motivates me to do each and everytime i put on their ‘86 release “Reign in Blood”. Im sure most of you feel thee exact same way… especially while grinding some burly pool coping..
(JESUS LOVES SLAYER!)
THIS is dedication… (and insane)
Angel of Death live in 86..

Remember this guy? Probably not, but here is proof that our friend Kyle is alive. Although he spends most of his days locked in a dark, smokey room, spinning vinyl, he can still ride a skateboard.
Looks like The Wad is back in the IE after a short stint in AZ. They probably kicked him out.
Brought this dude, Mike, back with him.

All the talk about the Jane’s Addiction reunion got me thinking about how much I used to love these guys when I was in high school. No, I didn’t dress up in spandex, have dreads or any crap like that, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t want to. I grew a mustache instead. Nothing’s Shocking, one of my top albums of all time.
Thursday nights at Belmar’s have rightfully been named “Thursday Bowl Beatings.”
Steve over the channel.
Jake over the deathbox.
Just tryin’ to hold on.

I don’t have much to say about Bjork, except that she’s weird and I like her.
Got a session at Belmar’s infamous pool tonight and this thing is no joke! Definitely one of the scariest things I have ridden…but soooooooo sick!

i thought i’d show some love for the ladies. My favorite Blondie song from 1978, which I recently found out was originally done by The Nerves in 1976. Go figure.
Drove down to Pala Skatepark last saturday to meet up with Tige, Scott, Brian, Chris and a whole bunch of others. After I got “deathboxed,” I busted out the camera.
Brian
Chris
Tige – horseshoe fun!
