Videos while Talking of Legends: Vallely, Gonzales, Cardiel and Barbee

Ok, I just thought Since I have  a slight agitation of boredom that I would cheer myself up with some good home down entertainment, internet videos. The first one I will start with, someone I was discussing yesterday, came up on my Thrasher radar today. I went from skating a Natas 2 to skating a Vallaley in 88. I did not like the nose and it had no pop, but that is skateboards. Mike freaking rips, just watch:

Ok, but no way Mike is my all time favorite, he is in my top ten. I just put him first because you always know the best comes last. Now, Ray Barbee is in my top three, maybe he is 2, not sure how I feel today. I think I need some fluids. But here you go, Ray Barbee invented a style: Then there is the last guy, you got to know who it is by now, don't you know. I know... It must be coursing through my veins this week, I have been riding my bicycle a lot lately and not skating due to injury and being a chicken shit. So I reminisce and find excitement and something else, maybe motivation, maybe a pipe dream I will keep to myself because I know how I am. Of Course it is Mark Gonzales, of course of course of course. How can he not be your favorite skater of all time, he invented another style that is mimicked and mimicked. He pulls off what you never thought could be pulled off. He does things with his feet that make you think after you have watched that clip five times in row that you are watching a magic show. Then there is John Cardiel, sorry John, I got all carried away and I forgot about you. Sorry dude, we will watch you first then: Ok OK. So I leave you with your lesson of today. Watch and Watch and Watch and Watch this shit over and over and over. Epic I know. More to come. Later.
