Another feted rhymesmith stood behind Souls in the Hiero queue - an emcee known as Casual - and all the crew benefitted from producer/manager Domino's input; so there was something for the band to build on, and a story to tell that showed they were part of a movement, not just Del's mates latching on to his coat-tails, and therefore likely to fall by the wayside if his career faltered.

I mean I’m taking the Bones Brigade out of this equation completely because they were on another planet, those guys don’t apply because they are beyond legend status. But Alph, Danny and Colin deserve a lot of credit for carrying skateboarding through 1990. That was the breakoff point in my opinion. That was a big jump to get to where the rebirth of street skating occurred in a lot of ways. But anyways I’m rambling… your information helps us to more effectively respond to your customer service requests and support needs) its creation. Souls were the focus and the named artist, but the Hiero ecology was working as one. It's a remarkable achievement. Brothers been freestylin' in Oakland since 1980," Tajai told me in an interview conducted during their first British tour in 2000. "Freestyling, writtens, battling, breakin', graffiti - that shit doesn't come from thinkin', 'Now it's the '90s, it's time to be big.' It takes 15, 20 years of workin' hard at that shit. I don't want people to think that it was suddenly like we on the west coast grew a lyricism limb." The group weren't just propping themselves up on a diet of recently absorbed east-coast lyricism, either. While the sound that Souls essayed came as something of a surprise in 1993 to a rap fan conditioned to think of New York being about the wordplay and California as the home of the smoothed-out gangsta flow, there was a long-seated tradition of west-coast lyricism. In LA, Freestyle Fellowship and the Pharcyde had made their own waves, while Ices Cube and T were hardly an advert for the sing-song approach. And Cypress Hill's deliberately enigmatic 1991 debut had people wondering if they were from the New York enclave of that name.

Yeah we’re going to upload the semi-raw edit from your old Hi-8 tape from that trip to coincide with this. Yeah I remember you saying to me in the last years of your skateboarding photography you were really getting into shooting portraits and you wanted an outlet for that kind of thing. And you said you started to enjoy that more than actually shooting skate photos.

Yeah the whole attitude of those guys and that brand of skating can be summed up with: just keep moving. It was like these bonds and these friendships that you formed were based in this thing that was sort of a secret to just you and your friends. People didn’t get it, and there’s downsides to that, I mean everyone hated you if you were a skateboarder in the nineties… size_guide_content": "\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0475\/6461\/9930\/files\/BOLTS-16_480x480.jpg?v=1609373847\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"439\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 24px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 245px; height: 24px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBOLT SIZE (IN)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 290px; height: 24px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRISER SIZE (IN)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"text-align: center; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 245px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e7\/8\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 290px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNOT NECESSARY\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"text-align: center; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 245px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1 - 1 1\/8\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 290px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e1\/8\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"text-align: center; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 245px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1 1\/8 - 1 1\/4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 290px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1\/8 - 1\/4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"text-align: center; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 245px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1 1\/4 - 1 1\/2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 290px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1\/4 - 1\/2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"text-align: center; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 245px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1 1\/2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 290px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e1\/2\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e"

You had to. You know a lot of people would just take an elbow pad and wrap it around their ankle like, ‘alright I’m wearing pads!’ With this year’s 2021 Summer Olympics hosted in Tokyo, Japan, skateboarding will make its Olympic debut; augmenting both park and street competitions for men and women. As this book is a culmination and photographic collection of the past three decade’s growth of skateboarding throughout the US focusing in on the pivotal decade of the 1990s, the addition of this sport in the summer’s upcoming games is of considerable relevance to the skateboarding pioneers featured in this work. So it was like, ‘ok if we’re not going to shoot a skate photo then I got this cool wall over here, or there’s this cool lighting thing happening and let’s see if we can do something…’ I just wanted to continue creating and skateboard photography can be somewhat limiting in that, although I will say that there are skateboard photographers today who I think have really taken the limitations of trying to be out there and getting a good skate photo and turned them into really, really good exercises of understanding the craft and expanding on what notes you want to play with the people that you’re with. I also think people today realise how important it is to shoot everything. Ha ha! I seem to remember someone strapping a kneepad on top of their hat and calling it ‘a helmet’!
