DOS & DON'TS

Not sure whether this is a crustie wearing the pelt of the bridge-and-tunnel douche he just curbed or a former stockbroker who just went off the deep end but color my pants brown either way. Comments/Enlarge | See all


Yelling shit from cars is primarily for drunken jocks and other people who haven't gotten over high school but you've got to admit that it's extremely easy and feels guiltily satisfying when you screech away. It's like the beating-off-to-Bangbus of insults. Comments/Enlarge | See all

SPIKE JONZE - PART 1

This is Mark Gonzales doing an indie grab at a skate park in Tijuana. This was a supersketchy spot in a bad neighborhood. There were all these rumors that cops would show up there and you would have to pay them a bribe or get arrested. We’d driven to Mexico in the middle of the night to drive a car off a cliff for the Blind video. We were done and the car was in a ravine by 11 in the morning, so we got tacos and then went to skate here.


This is Jason Lee doing a backside lipslide at Lankershim in North Hollywood. It was the first time I’d ever seen anyone do that on a handrail. That trick was still pretty new then, but Jason was always doing new stuff. It was a time when skating was getting more technical in general, with all these skaters like Jason, Ed Templeton, Eric Koston, Rick Howard, and Mike Carroll. Almost every time you would skate with these guys they would be doing something really surprising and innovative.

I think this was around 1991. We were shooting Jason’s Pro Spotlight for
Transworld. Gonz and Guy Mariano were probably there too. This spot was near Guy’s house.
