One Ollie = $10,000

Easy. Do you think those girls were more impressed with the over 45 inch ollie or the TEN Gs?

SOTY booooo

I do not agree with this year's Thrasher SOTY. Ugly gorilla style. But whatever, right. Party must go on.

Chris Cole won with a backside 360 and a switch frontside flip. My personal favorite was Lindsey Robertson's backside heel. Chris got two huge tricks, so he won. Lizard King's one foot backside 180 was sick as well.

Back to the 'Berg!

It's on kids!

We have a man on the scene to bring you a full report later....

Thrasher, 1984

Best job in the world - converting old Thrasher's into web content. Thrasher is slowly putting up their entire back catalog. They just released 1984. This is history.

What Do You Think....

...will be a bigger event, the birth of our first child or BACK TO THE BERG?

Blogged

Sometimes people ask me what blogs I read. By sometimes I mean, they stop me in the street and say "Machuca, you are the ultimate blogger. What possible blog could you read?" And I tell them: Burnout. Duh. It represents the bizzaro Machuca. The path I almost took. Some of you may not know this, but up to the age of 22 I had tentative plans to move to California to begin my life in the skateboard industry. Obviously, I was not going to be a pro skater. I sucked too much. My idea was to move out west and make something happen. As you can see, through this blog, that did not happen. I took a different path.

Burnout chronicles the path I may have taken. Enjoy.
