Pete Furnee tipped me off to these Texans at CockFight and their boards. We (meaning my teen years skate friends) have always been a fan of Dan Wilkes for all the obvious reasons and it seems we claimed him as an east coaster via his friendship with Tom.
I never owned a Wilkes board but I always remembered that dinosaur doing an egg plant over a channel.
Hmmm? I know the first two tricks are Eggplants what the Hellio are those Dinosaurs doing on the third board
Eggplants being one of the few consistent tricks in my repertoire and a love of dinosaurs…I guess I was predisposed to wanting one. It looks like they have revived the motif at CF (your name is gonna get THOS all sorts of new spam…he he) with this guest Modello.

Dan has been a very early supporter of THOS from way back so if you need a deck? Hell get this one!
So the Christmas list grows:(Maybe I can get this list to 12 before Xmas, Im gonna start doing this every year)
-Tony Hawk RIDE (check out the contest!!)
-The House of Steam Tee Shirt…LOL
-ONE CHOICE (Rob Mertz) Vinyl/with Digital Download
-Anything from DeathMarch Skates
-Sublime Wheels on a Miramar Longboard
-A photo of Neil Blender skating The Animal Chin Ramp (More of a Xmas Wish)
Thanks to Pete Furnee for the look at this killer Skate Co. Looks like he has dialed in on Egg Plants (again) Wilkes would be proud!. The new phenomenon in vert skating is hearing from people talk about getting old tricks back!….We cant all be Bernie! or can we?:
Pete Furnee Invert to Backwards!

June 20th, 2007 at 8:14 am eI still see those guys around. Pep Williams has always been one of my favorite pro skaters since I was a small kid and that was 20 years ago. I am 30 now.
I ran into him in Hollywood at a party last month. It was really cool meeting him.I was talking about getting a skateboard to start back skating again.Pep said come to my car.This guy gave me his complete skateboard and shirts and stickers for my kids for free.We only talked 5 min and he gave me a complete skateboard.I couldn’t believe it. All he said was “Enjoy” and cruised back into the party like nothing happened.I was speechless. That just made my year.
I am skating again. Not as good as I use to but I am cruising and carving all over my local skatepark.J ust want to say thanks you so much Pep Williams for bringing skateboarding back to my life. I am forever thankful.
