Here are some photos of one of our interns shreddin’ it up in our parking lot on a recent Friday afternoon. I imagine he was getting prepped for an A1 thrash session at Love Park over the weekend. Apparently this guy has been spotted Gleaming the Cube on more than one occassion. Judging from his professional gear I’d say he’s been at this for a while. Clearly he’s a natural.
WOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!
I don’t know what kind of shredding he’s up to with those white 1997’s Asics, bike helmet, tight straight light blue Jordache’s and that sweet stance in the 2nd picture on the left! This one is a rarity, brother! How do you manage to live at such times?
Yeah, you’re right with the word shredder, look at my man’s shredder’s gloves… or wrist protector…or… i forgot what they are called, it’s been a good decade since I wore them. Nonetheless, props to the brother and long live Christian Slater… yeahhhhhhh Rip it up KELLY!!!!!
“When getting even means risking it all…he went out at coffee break to rip it up.”
RRRRRRRRRRRRRIiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiii-ppppppppppppPPPPPpppppPPPPPiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnngggggg IT dooooode! (the sound of the RRRRRR is the sound of the spanish “R’s”, just so you know)
I knew those photos would get you amped! I’m sure you’re dusting off your board right now and looking for your chrome bicycle helmet. Prepare to get your gnarly on!
I’m actually dusting off those Suicidal Tendencies, Dead Kennedy and Misfits tapes (hahaha)… Now if he had on L.A. Gear hightops on, that would’ve been a different story.
Pushing is a very hard trick to master. I know I did a 30 min video with Peter on how to master the art of pushing. Then we went on to sliding. I think you should dust off your pair of blades man and shred it up with your homie down there!!!!
The more I think and look at these photos, the more I think my man is not really skateboarding but doing tai chi via the energy vibes of skateboarding, thus the feng shui practice of white running shoes, white bike helmet and almost white jeans. Apologies…
I’m not sure what he’s up to, but he sure looks good doin’ it!
well, i’ve taken extreme care to
note the position of the sun and
reflected skylight in each of these
photos and have determined without
any reasonable doubt that they were
all taken with a camera of some
sort and within a period of 1 solar
hour (between mid june/early july)
in the nothern hemisphere (probably
in north america given the makes of
vehicles)and definetly during the
“daytime” of said region.
Now, the obvious problem arises.
Nobody is that good. There is no
record (i studied this extensively)
of any human landing all 4 of those
tricks (or stunts as they are often
referred to)in a period of 1 hour.
It is the conclusion of this
researcher that at least 3 of these
“photos” are complete fakes perhaps
constructed in one of the numerous
photo editing programs (such as
Photoshape)and are composites of
multiple athletes in the act of
gleaming - as it is often called.
There is no other logical or even
fanciful explanation that could
possibly be put forth. Please don’t
believe everything you see in the
daytime - wearing a helmet.
Not only was it real, but it was awe inspiring. In fact, I still feel awful thinking about it even now.
