I’ve been a little busy this week, but one of the things I watched this week that I thought was cool was this clip from the Girl 2010 Outbackwards Tour.
Girl didn’t quite make it to Dunedin, but despite that, it was good to see some Dunedin skaters hanging out with the Girl crew and getting some BGPs (Background Props) going.
And here is a link to what that trailer is advertising. Hope they make a DVD of it.

The Outbackwards Tour hit Manukau on Friday.
Here’s some bunch of footage I found on YouTube.

I played them all at once, it’s intense. Great day, great skaters.

With the Girl Tour hitting Auckland on the 19th of February I remembered I had some footage that I’d shot in 1994 of another Demo in Auckland when the World Industries Team toured. The venue that they held it in was a rollerskating rink.

A couple of cool posts on the Chrome Ball Incident featuring first some really cool iconic ads.
The first is when World started up and the shit they gave the other established companies, and the shit they got back.

The second is when all the riders up and left World to form their new company; Girl.

I remember the ads, but had forgotten how brutal it all was. I also remember how sudden it was, and how skateboarding fashion changed virtually overnight. I guess Rocco got in turn what he gave the established companies, once he became one of them.
