      Skate Street Ventura is the reason I ended up getting paid to skateboard for years. Saw Kareem there too probably same day! Ali Boulala was there once too. I was starstruck and filmed him sw lip the big rail first try. Rick Mccrank was another unbelievable skater to see skate there. He instantly became my favorite skater.

      Are you fucking serious?!? Tom Penny is a fucking god compared to Kareem Campbell! I like Kareem, always have, but these two guys came up around the same time, in the 90s, but on different sides of the Atlantic. "Looked up" to him? More like mutual respect between two good skaters. Maybe you're young and you don't know who Tom Penny is, but if anybody should be looked up to, it's him. Think before you start spouting off like that again, boy!

    kareem is the shit. Met him at a Wayout sk8 shop contest in Lincoln Nebraska in the early nineties. He was there doing a one man demo. After the comp during the product toss i look over to see kareem holding his board over his head saying "free board, free board". I walked over and was like "i'll take it?' He handed it to me and i thought he was joking so I handed it back to him and he was like "naw you can keep it!" I was sooo stoked! I was only in the 5th or 6th grade. I gave him a Tee this dude Elvo gave to me (elvo actually won the contest) and kareem kindly accepted it and asked ME to sign it! Shouts out to Wayout skateshop, Elvo, and Kareem, good memories...

      Pros in the old days were dope. We were skating to a demo one day when a van pulls up and asks us if we want a ride to it. It was the Blind team. We hopped out of that van at the demo like GODS. Cut to a year or so later when they came back around and Ronnie Creager remembered us all by name. Probably the best memories of my childhood.

      I wish the word 'style' would stop being used and strived for in skateboarding today. Yes, you want to be comfortable on your board and look like you know what you are doing. But aiming for 'style' is extremely juvenile and pointless. In a sense, it is like putting on an act to impress other people. Do your tricks, do them well and do them your own way. Instead of trying to look cool doing them, do them however your body allows you to do them.

      Old school fat boards? This was the mid 90's, most of us were skating 7.75-8" decks. After 92 boards shrank. By end of 93 shops sold so many 7.5's that it was hard to find an 8-8.25.
      I'm not trying to correct you, just saying, and it was super easy to pop high with skinny boards and little wheels. Kareem still did it better than most though, of course.

    I wish I kept my all white with the gum sole Kareem Duff shoes. Had all his other classic KCK Axion skate shoes. I wish they brought these both back.

    Kareem is the reason why I love all white bulky skateboard shoes and all plain shirt and baggy pants when I was a kid.
