Spot Check, Chandler Public Skate Park in Arizona.
We have a road trip with Stussy to Australia.
Calgary Public Skate Park opening, main event.
We have the Tampa Am contest.
Next, we have a world report.
And finally, Chat Tim Tim, wheels of fortune.
Yeah.
Now here we go.
Here we go.
Come on.
Come on.
Now here we go.
Here we go.
Come on.
Come on.
Yeah.
Stay strong.
You ain't for the faint-hearted.
My name's Onyx, cause my style is the same retarded.
Remain hottest from St. Marks to St. Thomas.
Take games, ballin' in the putt-putt, planes charted.
The same artists, smoke rainforests and bang artists.
My brain's modest.
Break a nigga like Elaine Promise.
Or a city like Train Bombers.
Check out the pictures we painted.
Yeah, more colorful than police naked.
Your skills are least debated, and your album least awaited.
Even Big Tickle wouldn't let you in the basement.
Face it.
The niggas face down with your legs kickin'.
They call your mama Roy Jones, cause she raised chickens.
I'm down for the count like Rod Digger.
I'm straight spittin'.
Make pictures say, uh-uh, I know they didn't.
Yes, we did, so God bless the kid, yo.
I got my own, so I never stress his.
No, in this journey of the journal, I'm a journalist.
Am I eternal or an eternalist?
Soon as we showed up, I sensed nervousness.
As soon as we rolled up, y'all niggas burnin' this.

Come on.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Come on.
Yeah, yeah.
Come on.
Come on.
We set the bullet straight towards your brain.
We're taking over like the Moors in Spain.
There's more to gain.
Run the ways, get aboard the train.
Come on.
You can't ignore the pain.
Know when it comes down like the pouring rain.
We caught the train and thought it's late
to cross the bar terrain.
The cold weather break your spirit like a water man.
I looked in your eyes and I saw the shame.
Y'all don't know that our greatness came before the chain.
So you can't imagine a future where this all could change.
If one of us ain't free, then we ought to blame.
So we attack each other fighting project wars and then,
it's all the same across the board.
We off again.
You want to see through that shit,
then you can call my name.
Quietly, I chopped it up like Walter Kane.
I dropped gems to top 10.
I'm out for the fame.
You want to test, then I bet you get wrecked like lost planes.
Yo.
In this journey of the journal, I'm a journalist.
Am I eternal or an eternalist?

And then, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, come on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, yo, yo.
Say what?
Say what, say what, say what?
I'll rock for the purists and I'll rock for the players.
I'll rock for the fellas and I'll rock for the ladies.
I'll rock for the elders and I'll rock for the babies.
I rhyme to the sirens that are cryin' tonight.
I'm live on the mic even though I've been dyin' the right.
Since the days of flying the kite and riding my bike,
I open my eyes and keep the prize within my line of sight.
I can't drop out of school to get feed, high on the pipe.
It seems like that's the getaway of trying to fight.
The system that's based on trying to stop you from shining
the light.
Please, I'm dyin' this fight, getting rich.
That's why I rhyme like a battle MC, battling
the tragedies and fallacies.
That be killin' niggas quicker than infant mortality.
They actin' like what's goin' on now is just a
little bit of a
Yo, yo, what up, what up?
It's us right here and we just politicking right now.
You watchin' 411 video.
This is Capadonna right here.
WTC Wu-Tang for life.
First one to get on, last one to get on.
See Dawn.
Stay soon.
You know what I'm sayin'?
The yin and the yang, uh.
All right, man, all right, here we go.
You come on down, Kenny Anderson.
Hey, music, you, baby, I love you, my music, you.
Now, the kickbox is such an old-bell review.
Let's hear it from that old-bell review.
Bring it, boys.
We are fightin' for the liberation of man, not the
liberation of these pigs, a racist society.
I can't hear you.
They do not understand.
They do not understand the real aims and purposes of
that organization.
They do not understand.
There is, in other words, a secret conspiracy.
And the conspiracy is this.
The state opposes itself to the people.
The state opposes itself to the people.
The state opposes itself to the people.
The state opposes itself to the people.
The state opposes itself to the people.
Hey, what's up?
This is Frank Carrotta.
Since my last appearance in 4-in-1, which was in issue 25, I've been keeping real busy
doing a lot of different things.
I filmed for Sixth Sense Video.
It's a Transworld video.
That was really fun because I got to film with Ty Evans and John Holland, shooting photos,
filming all that, and trying to bump up my level of skateboarding.
I started a skateboard company called Optimus Skateboards recently.
It takes a lot of work just because you've got to be on the phone, you've got to be
on the computer, you've got to be sending out packages.
Fortunately, I got a lot of help from friends and family.
They all see what I'm doing as a positive thing.
To top it all off, I designed skateparks for Percocet Rose.
Here we are.
We're at the architectural firm where I worked.
It's a real structured work environment, so we have to be really quiet when we go up here.
I was hired here to help the designers come up with good ideas, make sure things flow
right.
So a lot of my park designs now have a heavy influence of street skateboarding in them.
Physically, I'm fine compared to a couple years ago.
I may fall a little harder now because this stuff, my skate's a little bit bigger, but
everything feels good.
Everything's in working order.
Hurt ankle here, sprained wrist here, but it's just normal.
Back in the early 90s when I first turned pro, people were skating curbs and filming,
and that was legitimate.
It's a completely different story.
You've got to scare yourself to be noticed.
If you skate something and you're scared and you're sketched out, then you feel good about
what you did.
You've got your adrenaline going.
It's just, I don't know, it's a whole different experience.
It's a whole different experience.
It's a whole different experience.
It's a whole different experience.
Texas Skate Jam 2000 is the fourth year of the event for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
It's to help needy kids that have terminal ill disease get their main wish, whether it's
going to Disney World or, in this case, meet Chad Muska.
A little Joshua Johnson came from New Mexico to meet Chad Muska, and little Connor White
from Golden, Colorado, came to meet Tony Hawk.
Thank everybody for coming out.
And let's do this again, early November, 2001.

Hi and welcome to the Chandler Park.
It's one of the four free public skate parks in the greater Phoenix area.
It's got banks, small bowl, big bowl, all kinds of blocks and ledges.
All kinds of different size transitions.
And if you come to the valley, come skate it and have fun.
If you can stand the heat, the best time to probably come is in the middle of the daytime
because no one's here.
Let's do this again.

Okay, here we are up in beautiful Calgary, Alberta.
We're at one of the largest outdoor cement skateboard parks in the world.
We've got the very special, nowhere in North America, full pipe.
It's 30 feet high.
It's pretty big.
Lots of fun to ride.
This park is about 61,000 square feet of cement, which is obviously huge.
And it took a lot of work with Jay Balmer, Jim Barnum, at Spectrum Skatepark Designs,
and they put together an amazing park with lots of good expert area, big brick wall,
13 foot half pipe behind us.
And, you know, we've got the street course, the beginner street course, the expert intermediate.
We've got the 579 Clover Bowl, perfect coping everywhere.
It's a great place to be and skate.
Unfortunately, the evening before they opened it up, on the Thursday before the park opened,
the anti-graffiti team came in here and covered the entire surface of the park.
It essentially took a brick of wax and waxed every piece of cement in here
with this paraffin-based anti-graffiti spray.
And it wrecked the entire park for the opening, unfortunately.
We're going to get it sandblasted off and everything will be fine.
So we hope to have a fully functional, amazing park for next year.
All the team managers come here to pick up the rookies and turn them into pros
and make them millionaires.
I come out to Tampa every year just to check out the amazing level of skateboarding,
how it progresses every year, and scout out new talent, see what's out there in the world.
The Ams give it a little bit more, I think, because they're hungry.
That is because the kids are seriously so hungry to just reckon themselves,
but then they're also just wrecking the course at the same time.
They want to, you know, they're trying to bust out anything they can.
They're just going every which way.
You know, it's like, this is their chance, man.
See if they got a shine.
All right, let's go.
All right, let's go.
All right, let's go.
All right, let's go.
Let's go.
All right, let's go.
All right, let's go.
All right, let's go.
All right, let's go.
Who's going to get the card?
All right, let's go.
All right, let's go.
All right, let's go.
All right, let's go.
Oh, that was sick, man.
Yeah.
What kind of skate do you like?
Freestyle.
Freestyle?
No, man, no, no, no, not that stuff.
All right, let's go.
Let's go.
All right, let's go.
Hello, we just flew into Melbourne, Australia.
The weather's good.
It's about 9.30 in the morning.
I told him I'd give him my own board if he ever did the best
pick, and the kid just got up on the roof and tried to kick
him off of it.
So there was just so many people there.
You're bound to run into someone.
It was fun, though, what it lasted like.
But I just like, I don't know, I just had to get out of there.
I just had to go back to California.
Let's go.
I've known Chad Simpson for a few years now, and he's always
the guy with unbelievable skill level on skateboards.
He can basically do anything he wants.
It's like to have him on the team, and you can see Tim Tim
and the rest of the New Deal squad in the first New Deal
of the Millennium, currently in production.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Hey, what up?
My name is Carlson Rask, 23 years old, and I come from
Denmark.
In the wintertime, it's very cold in Denmark, so I often go
to skate with skateparks, with all my friends.
If you want to free skate, we go to a branch in Barcelona.
You can skate there every day.
Our sponsors are Elwood Clothing, Aesthetic Skateboards,
Street Machine Skate Shop, Lord's Wheels, and I get shoes
from the car.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Chad Tintin has a natural gift for skateboarding.
Everything seems to come really easy.
I'm sure you'll notice if you ever see him skate, everything
just looks effortless.
I've seen him do things, first try, jokin' around.
I started skating with Justin, and then I met everybody
else through him, Danny, Rob, Stefan, Stacey, Joey, all
those dudes, all the 508 dudes.
During the summer, as we go to this place, we call it the
Crab Rock, because we made these little fishing lures out
of straws, catch crabs, jump off this cliff, and just hang
out, and then some taco loco or something.
His skateboarding is maturing.
I remember when we first started skateboarding together,
he was just this kid with all this skill and didn't know
where to distribute it to.
And now look at him, freak.
That's rad, because even if we weren't skating, we'd all
still hang out together.
Since me and Justin and Danny are on Stussy, we always get
to travel together.
It's like traveling with your best friends for
something you love.
Tintin, he's a fun dude to hang out with.
He's funny, super friendly and stuff.
He's always singing some song, catchy tune or something,
and it's always getting stuck in your head.
He likes to play a lot and do jokes.
He likes to be sarcastic.
I get mad sometimes because Chad does all my tricks.
I don't get mad, but it's kind of like, damn, man, I've been
trying to do a trick, and he does the same trick.
I think skating with all those dudes inspires me.
Just seeing all their different talents on a daily basis
is so rad.
Sometimes he fires me out because he's so good.
He's a bundle of energy.
I'm the youngest out of the group, so all those dudes are
like older brothers to me.
They always pick on me.
Timber.
Timber down.
Timber down.
Chad's a good kid.
Amazing ability.
He's got a lot of energy in him, and he pretty much puts
that into his skating.
He definitely has a talent.
He's a natural.
He's a natural, I'll say that.
I love him to death.
I want to thank the Loa for all he's done and all my family
and friends, all my sponsors.
I want to thank New Deal, Stussy, Globe, Darkstar, Nixon,
Active, Venture, Universal Hardware, and Movement Bangs.
That was so perfect right there.
You know I feel good.
That's it for issue 45, but make sure you go out and get
Stan Strong on the road with Mike V. See you next time.
Hey Mike, I get some kick back, right?
Hey Mike, I get some kick back, right?
Hey Mike, I get some kick back, right?
Hey Mike, I get some kick back, right?
Hey Mike, I get some kick back, right?
Right, right, right, right.
Right, right, right.
Right, right, right.
Right, right, right.
