@keefvonkush It makes sense that he was under your radar. Even by the early ’90s he’d moved himself behind scenes.
This is the great thing about all the skate docs. We get to learn about all the people we missed on the first round.

@lucaswisenthal This was my first issue of Big Brother. I dug it out of the stacks not long ago to read his interview - Chad certainly was a wild child.

[Jeff Chan @ApostropheJeff]

@HvVideoStore Nice, man. I’m excited for you. Dropping yourself into an unfamiliar country and trying to figure it out with a phrasebook and some maps is so fun.

[Jeff Chan @ApostropheJeff]

@AmericanGwyn Awesome. I really enjoyed your Blood Meridian series (especially hearing the engaged young people in the discussions)

[Jeff Chan @ApostropheJeff]

@HvVideoStore I’m gonna say that you’re playing the bongos.

[Jeff Chan @ApostropheJeff]

@waub How about American Buffalo by Steven Rinella?

[Jeff Chan @ApostropheJeff]

@kevin__horn That's great. One of my friends told me that his mom still gardens in a pair of Airwalks that he won in a skate contest in the '80s.

[Jeff Chan @ApostropheJeff]

@mmunzenrider That's likely it. Related: 5 of the 6 people I listed are primarily vert skaters.

On Chris Cole and skateboarding's foundational inability to hold itself — and its heroes — to account.

@SKHORROCKS That dude is inspiration personified.

@AmericanGwyn The problem with the Border Trilogy is that when I feel like reading one, I invariably read them all again. This usually kills any progress I've made on my on-deck pile.

@keefvonkush This brand of anti-pedo is typically happy to look the other way if the child abuse is church related.

[Jeff Chan @ApostropheJeff]

@SKHORROCKS Shit! Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it turns out to be minor.
I’m just getting past a stubborn bout of bursitis myself - infrapatellar and prepatellar for me. The swelling was big and lasted December to June, but has gone down and feels good now.

[Jeff Chan @ApostropheJeff]

Midnight curb sessions are a heatwave classic. The other night I kicked off my summer noseslide project with these short skids. The goal? Lock in, go the distance, nollie out.

And of course... grinds. If I’m not doing a bunch of those, something's horribly wrong.

@ColonelKSpeaks @vurnt22 Were you rocking a full Body Glove fit?

[Jeff Chan @ApostropheJeff]

@mmunzenrider One big obstacle: His hardcore disciples are so evangelically annoying that it makes one want to disagree with them out of spite.

[Jeff Chan @ApostropheJeff]

@TMurphine Yeeaaahhhh!

[Jeff Chan @ApostropheJeff]

I’d explain what’s going on here, but that would deprive you of the fun of making up your own story.

[Jeff Chan @ApostropheJeff]

@NickPloeg @Quesly2 I think it’s called “All this mayhem.” I watched it on Tubi a while ago.
