Thom's Minute

 Older sequence taken and edited by my sister Suzi. La Quinta bowl, Blunt to Fakie. Reppin Utility Skate Shop! :P
 I was going for a BS 180 over the hubba, my toes were too pointed down I think cause my shoe just exploded off my foot.
 This park is in Oahu, Hawaii. The skate scene here was pretty much the same as anywhere else, dudes just come here chillen, hanging out, skating. I saw a grip of rippers out there skating, filming, and just tearing up the parks. Though this day like 4 cop cars rolled up on that grass field you see behind me. My first reaction was to dip from the scene but I noticed all the other dudes in the park were still just kickin it. The cops didnt come to kick us out from the park, they came to arrest the six ice-heads sleeping in the field smoking tweak. There are a lot of tweakers in Waikiki.     -BS Noselide Bigspin
A buddy of mine, Chris Harris busted his arm at this wash and this spot is starting to become known as the "Chris Harris Wash" or the wash he broke his arm at.. That was a gnarly day and no one wanted to skate that day after it happened. Glad he made it through it though and is back pushing wood! GO CHRIS!  - thom, Fakie Front 180

Snake Ledge, I know Cory Kennedy took me out on this spot by doing a kickflip front nosegrind but this is me with a FS Nosegrind. Maybe one day I can one-up him ;] haha that will be no time soon...
