The Lakai/Emerica Stay Flared tour came to Pittsburgh a few days ago and I got to meet some of my heros.

Brandon Biebel.

 

Pretty much everyone from the two teams were there. Jerry Hsu, Heath Kirchart, Mike Carroll, Riley Hawk, Leo Romero...it was insane seeing all of those pros in one place and all of them just killing it. The only people not at the demo were Ed Templeton and Guy Mariano.

Three decks I have on my wall. On the left is one that Jason Adams rode/gave to me. A local skatepark in Erie won a CCS contest, so Jason and Keith Hufnagel came and did a demo. I was very young and asked Jason for his deck, he said "as long as you take the trucks off, it's yours". It's a Six Gun, his short lived Black Label offshoot.

The middle was give to me by Jamie Thomas. I was first in line for a signing in the mid 2000's. I waited for hours to be first cuz Zero was my favorite brand and Jamie was one of me two favorite skaters. He and the rest of the team walked into the shop, and he went behind the counter with his board. He took the trucks of his old deck, set up a new one, and handed me the old one. I had the whole Zero/Mystery team that was there sign it.

The last one is an old Zero deck I had. I had originally taken that to the Zero signing to have them sign it. One day I was at the skatepark near my house in Albuquerque, when all of the sudden a huge bus pulls up, and our walks Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen, Kerry Getz, Mike V, Alex Chalmers. It was the first Tony Hawk Secret Skatepark Tour. They all skated for a while. I got the chance to talk to all of them for a bit because there weren't many people there since it was unannounced. I used a payphone to call my mom and have her bring the Zero deck to have them sign. Talking to Rodney Mullen was very surreal. We were talking about caspers, he was trying a half cab Casper - 360 flip out, I had been trying a half cab Casper, and we kinda raced each other to the trick, so on the deck he signed "Next Time I'll Beat You"!

Me and Rodney Mullen. There weren't camera phones then, so I didn't get a proper picture, but there were shots of us together in the Tony Hawk Secret Skatepark Tour DVD.

Got one of these bad boys recently. Not a fan of the rebooted Plan B but PJ is a legend and this graphic is classic. I'm always looking for his old Flip boards.

Really into that. I need to get another board for the collection, but no idea what I'd get since I don't keep many tabs on the industry anymore. I've been skating the same brand/shape for like three years now haha.

I must be the only one who thinks this is like alternate angles of tricks he's been doing for decades. Wasn't impressed at all.

Check Krooked, Politic, Toy Machine, Magenta, Hopps, Paisley. All have excellent graphics.
