Tim O'Connor

Posted by D.B. on Friday, February 03, 2012

Tim O'Connor is one of skateboarding's more honest individuals. Tim's brutal honesty makes anything he says worth reading. In this case, it's his new Chromeball interview that covers a variety of topics. It goes all the way back to his first sponsor-me tape, to the current news of Rob Dyrdek buying Alien Workshop. There's also all the funny stuff in between, like breaking down Fred Gall's three careers within a career, or the story behind his Epicly Later'd where he wrecks an entire Thrasher. Tim also explains the invention of his Scoliosis grind. The whole thing ends with Tim sharing some wise words for the new kids starting out. With all that being said, you should just go read the whole thing now.

Brad Cromer

Posted by D.B. on Thursday, February 02, 2012

Traveling cross country in a van with just a skateboard and your friends should be a rite of passage for all skaters. Brad Cromer, Jake Donnelly, and a crew of others made the trek. They also documented the whole trip, turning it into a full video. 5 weeks, 10 guys, 1 van, 3700 miles, and one crazy accident to end it all.
