fonky family

I'm not surprised that this is the first double post within one day, however... I have been searching for this fucking french hip hop band's song (which played backdrop to a sick J.B Gillet part in that Rodney Vs. Daewon Part 2 VHS) for twelve fucking years.

"la furie et la foi" by fonky family. Look it up. J.B Gillet has been around for a few. Was he on Axion? Sure he was. He does a varial heelflip off some sculpture. Is that safe to say, nerds? My mind is blown. It's a great song. Great French rap. France is known for its bread and butter.

I was lucky enough to have visited Francay back in 2000. I was approaching the Eiffel Tower with a close friend. He happens to be the very same friend who is responsible for the title of this blog. It may be why I get a bit teary eyed when I see Tommy Sandoval do it down a handrail. Of course, it was a ploughman's lunch sort of trick on the lips of backyard miniramps across America for over twenty odd years.

I remember passing this skateshop on the way to the great landmark. . They had a Kris Markovich Foundation, Eiffel Tower Frog deck in the window. I could never keep track of his sponsor jumps. Crazy Kris Markovich. He's a great though. I mean., pffhhhffhhtthh! Personally, I like the super long line in the & Stun Video. G&S. It reminded me of skating in Wildwood , NJ . Just 180 over a chain link fence, to ollieing all up, down and around the sidewalk. All over the place, guys. I mean. One minute we were attempting 360 flips down two stairs, and the next we were playing street Fighter 2 whilst eatin vanilla soft serves with rainbow sprinkles.

Munchhausen's Grind

This dude told me my beard was epic. It was kind of a weird situation. I had gone to the bank to deposit a check. There happens to be a Brueger's Bagels next door to the bank. I've been eating at this Brueger's bagels bi-monthly since it opened a couple years ago. They do a great tuna and swiss with lettuce, red onion and tomato on an everything bagel, side of pickle and Rachel's Salt and Vinegar potato Chips. A GREAT one. They really do. Seriously though, there's never anyone in that place. It's a ghost town save for one or two dilligent office workers sitting in one of three booths, tapping away at a laptop while forgetting to give their turkey melt the time of day.

I was making my way to the napkin counter for some napkins when Three large men entered the front door. They were really big and tall. The last one looked at me through the glass wall and eventually, the glass door. Once we were face to face he offered up this compliment: "Nice Beard. That's epic, bro."

I thought, "Do I relate to him because he also has a beard? or do I simply understand what he is trying to say, because essentially his beard is of a lesser power?"

I can only hope that tomorrow brings me an ollie or two... it's been so long.

Actually I'd be happy to sit back with a latte and a viewing of Resident Evil: Afterlife. Maybe a toasted bagel with smoked whitefish.

Switch Stance Advanced Class "Salman Agah and Fred Gall. West Vs East? East Vs. West?" Is Mark Gonzales part of this mystifying equation?

Working on some stuff. Got a lot of skateboard related shit coming up in the next couple months. Interviews, trick tips, fuckin... photos and videos. How about video reviews? I got that too. Specifically, why too clean is boring and a little sketch goes a long way. Let's do this thing in 2011. Marshal LAW!
