Troy Sliter sent this link to an old clip about a Ffej demo in Canada. Some pretty great skating but the standouts are the banal commentary about boards with wheels and the general cluelessness of the news guys. Oh and Kurt Stoodley -although he’s certainly no Gary Lumpkin.
I used those two dorks for yesterday’s comic.
Update: Sorry, this video disappeared with the death of Flash technology.
I met Ffej a while back. He encouraged me to work on flapping my inverts over better.

“It’s hoped that his visit will bring more attention to a growing sport.” Growing sport? This vid is dated 1989, one of the last good years from that boom.
It’s really too bad that skateboarding never got popular.

The comments at the end crack me up. A pro can make 100K…not bad! Like now its legit because there is good money to be made by top pros. If it was just a bunch of local guys messing around those guys wouln’t get any respect….I hate the mainstream media!
