NC Boardshop introduces Josh Romero

NC Boardshop proudly introduces Bitchin’ Romero to the team. He is a real nice guy with a nack for ripping, and hitting his head on the ground. It’s as if a large magnet was placed inside of his cranium and the earths metal elements somehow pull his head violently to the surface. He must have super powers, because I have never witnessed any bloodshed or seen him even slightly phased. Take a little time to familiarize to yourself with Bitchin’… You’ll be seeing more of him in the not too distant future.

Randy and Barbara’s son Wes.

Today is a glorious day indeed. On this day, we celebrate the birth of our hero Wes Tonascia. 36 glorious years on this planet, and I have the daunting task of packing it all into a paragraph. Lets see… He’s a swell dad. I’m not really sure about the husband part, you’ll have to ask Ruth. But I’m sure the level of caring is unparalleled, and the nights of pleasure… good lord!!! He skates like Jesus Christ personally touched his forehead. Yea, it’s that good. And when it comes to art… pffft, get the fuck outta here! The trigger finger on his photo hand burns white hot. When he’s done shooting the flick, he uses said finger to light his spliff. If you see him today or in the near future, give him a happy bday embrace. He deserves it.

Nana…

Ghetto Park.

Eons before any Red Park, Beer Bowl, S1 or S2, there was Ghetto Park. Situated on Story and White in San Jose’s East Side, Ghetto Park was a defunct Kinney’s Shoes in what was at the time, not the best neighborhood. With a huge empty parking lot that wrapped around the front, back, and side of the building, this vacancy became a free for all. Local skate rats bringing and building boxes, rails, desks and whatever skateable junk they could find and move. Shit, for a while there was a 6 or 7 ft quarter pipe in direct view of everyone. Including cops, who were highly visible in that area at that time. It introduced us to skaters from different areas, and people were always skating. Nothing like high school kids going to the local liquor store and buying 40′s and tamales with no id’s to round out a perfect day of carefree skating. This is just a little bit of footy that was on a transfer tape from back in those days. If anyone out there is hanging onto old footage from back then, hit me up. I would love to put it out. Memories from almost 20 years ago… That shit is analog gold.

An Affair Remembered with Ben Raemers

Got a new feature for y’alls on the all new tiltmode youtube channel. This installment features the always charasmatic Benny Boy in an epic battle for a 50-50 on a metal banister that is made to hold you up whilst walking up, or down stairs. Come with him on this trail of tears only to be pleasantly surprised and humored by this silly little English Boy falling. Feel free to subscribe to our previously mentioned channel to see some of your favorite dummies getting down, or just falling down for that matter in the near future.
