Way Back Wednesday with Geetz 19

Lost and Found

There are a shit load of super groms out there at the moment. Wuppets can do most anything these days, and it all comes down to the level of progression they are exposed to at an early age. If we were watching videos of dudes nollie heelflip nosesliding 12 stair rails with their eyes shut, then that’s probably what we would have gone out and tried to do. But we weren’t. Shit was still being invented and it was rare to see young dudes with a bit of grown man steeze. Hence guys like Stevie williams adopting the nickname ‘Lil Stevie’, younger cats used to look like they struggled a lot more. How many kids do you know that are 12 and can do a decent tré flip on the flat, not many, but I bet there are hundreds that can tré off of a seven stair or something. You get me? Anyhow, when I was 13 I was fairly amped on this guy and I have always wondered where he is at now.

P.S: How’s the earthquake clip at the end of his part? I used to laugh at that… not anymore.

I would give my left nut to own this t-shirt again.

My Periphery

This guy can skate pretty nice, don’t you think?

E-Clipse

I’m fairly sure this clip will be 20 years old next year. That means Koston is pretty much the man, but you probably knew that already. The level of his skateboarding in this clip is incredible, mind blowing even, so you really need to give it a thorough watch. I would be amped if I could pump even half a section like that out now! Which proves that guys like Koston are capable of just about anything… but you already knew that. I just thought it would be nice to remind y’all that Koston has been doin’ most of the shit that people are still struggling to do today, twenty years ago. Oh, and he has still got more left! 5 panels off.

Don’t Believe The Hype It’s a Sequel

Here’s something for y’all to look forward to.

 

Fine Tuning

Supposedly change is as good as a holiday. Sometimes I beg to differ, but here’s something a little different. Back to the realness next week.

The Guess Who These eyes

Stomping Grounds

I had this rule when I was young slash kinda still do that I’m not really that down on other heads using my board. Murphy’s law says it will either come back chipped, dirt on the grip or worse case scenario in two pieces. So I’m not a selfish dude, I just like to do all the damage my board needs on my own accord. Maybe this adds to my fussiniess of how many layers of ply I wear through til my board is fucked. Hey, each to their own. I don’t like soggy weetbix and I couldn’t care less if you do. It’s a personal preference. Good on you if you like to make your board last. I just like my board to feel the same all the time. Anyhow, to cut a long story short, I let homeboy use my board for like a minute once and it got served. Funny thing is he bought me some shoes, stoked! So to add to my wish list of joints I wish I still had here’s the Grant Hill 2 or 96 by FILA. Props to Ben Mc.
