Frankie Hill gets Thrasher Magazine's Classics Feature
I remember when I first saw Frankie Hill in Powell Peralta's "Public Domain" video. My jaw dropped when he ollied down huge staircases or jumped on long rails. This was all new to me in 1988 and back then there were not that many skate videos so whenever a new one came out, it was appreciated so much more than I think today's skate videos....now you can just go online and see new stuff all the time and see amateurs that skate just as good as the pros. Frankie Hill polished up his kickflips in Ban This...they were pretty raw in Public Domain, but kickflips were so new then and boards were much larger and harder to flip then too. Sad, but I have just as hard a time now flipping my board as I did then even with the skinnier boards. But it's funny because even after 12 years of not stepping on a skateboard, I was still able to land a kickflip on my fish shaped John Lucero Board I had from 1990 I think. Anyways, love watching Frankie Hill skate...he has so much energy, it's fun to watch. :) BTW...Mute grabs were my all time favorite grab back then! :)

Skateboarding is a Crime (with Tony Hawk)
Just saw this funny video from College Humor with Tony Hawk. Check it out if you've not seen it already. It's even funnier to me because we just got our kids two of these "alternative modes of transportation" that is shown at the end of the video. :)

Bones Brigade Autobiography and Live Video Q&A at Kimball Theatre in Williamsburg, VA!!
So, this morning a co-worker of mine stops by my office with this flyer!!! I am so stoked about this because this Theatre is just down the street from where I work, so I go to the Kimball Theatre website and find out that the Bones Brigade Autobiography that I was so bummed that I missed in Va Beach is now going to be shown at the William and Mary Global Film Festival this Saturday!!! AND, they are doing a Live Video Q&A with Tony Hawk and Mike McGill, just a few of my childhood idols! This is just too cool for words...only problem is that I think this is going on at the same time that my kids have this Legofest event....I'll have to go find that out...I hope the Legofest is on Sunday.

Norman the Dog Rides a Skateboard
When I think of skateboarding dogs, I thing of the bulldog in the Bones Brigade Video "Public Domain" from 1987 that steals Lance Mountain's board.
Now this dog takes it to a whole new level, Norman can ride a bike, a scooter and a skateboard. This dog truly loves to roll! :)
