The crew in party mode. Bottom right is Shorty’s owner Tony Buyalos, above him was our team manager George Nagai.
Muska’s 21st birthday.
More 21st birthday. Too many bottles to hold. Check the kit on Rune Glifburg in the background.
People have no idea how close Toan was to landing this kickflip back tailslide down Hubba Hideout. Imagine if that had been his ender.
Steve Olson – 180 nosegrind 180 out – think this was 2nd try.
Original flyer for the “Fulfill The Dream” premiere in 1998.
I bet most people would be surprised to hear that other than Muska’s part, the entire “Fulfill The Dream” video was edited by the company owner’s girlfriend (April Hamrick).
In the video, after Olson back tail shuv’s Hubba Hideout, he jumps over the wall. This is him walking back around and up to the group immediately after.
Van Life. One of my favorite photos.
Smolik and Lil’ B [Brandon Turner] – homies from day one.
I’m pretty sure we were the first people to bring a piece of wood to “The Wedge” in AZ, so you could drop in on the steps and hit the rail or the hubba.
Muska – Sneaking in a toke at 8am before meeting up with Skin Phillips at the Bank of America rails, where Chad would do the back to back noseslides down the 9 and the 18. Like a large majority of his tricks in “Fulfill” it was first try.
