Conhuir has a cheat! Sugar stunts!
July 30, 2007
Conhuir Lynn cheats at cards, I discover I'm the only American and Ronnie Creager displays just one of his many talents. Phoenix Am tour footage overflow!
Quote of the week!
July 30, 2007
Found an old (Summer 2003) issue of SBC mag (Skateboard Canada) with a Jamie Thomas cover story and decided to read it on the plane to NJ last week. Was pretty amazed at this quote:
SBC: Do you ever say a prayer before tying a trick? I've never seen you do it, but I've seen Paul Rodriguez do it.
JT: I don't have a ritual that I do every time I try a trick, but when I have doubts or wonder why I'm doing what I'm doing, I touch base with the Lord.
Coverage! Fuel, Happy Skateboarding, AWK!
July 30, 2007
Here's my segment with PLG from FuelTV's Daily Habit. I'm embarrassed. Being on TV sucks and I suck at it. I'm a writer, remember? Maybe next time I'll actually say something worthwhile.
Seems I also earned a slot in Andrew WK's "Friends" section, which got me pretty stoked. Then Ronnie Creager interviewed me for his new blog. Man, what's going on?
Oh ya, frequent commenter o' mine (here and on etnies.com), AJ, sent this email and these photos in:
Kinda random, but I saw this picture of Wil Wheaton (from Stand By Me and Star
Trek, TNG) and for some reason, I thought of you. You know, it was a celebrity, there was a skateboard, it was old school... and I thought "This should be posted on robbrink.com, 'cause he's sort of an old school skateboarder celebrity too. Haha"
I...
"Three bolt"
July 30, 2007
Ronnie Creager initiates the Three Bolt challenge. That is, putting your flick foot over three of the rear bolts and trying a kickflip. Conhuir & Dominik accept the challenge.
Conhuir Lynn & Chris Gregson: Phoenix Am '07
July 29, 2007
Still got footage of from Phoenix Am lingering... Conhuir Lynn & Chris Gregson. Conhuir is on Slave now. Pretty stoked for him. Dude is underrated.
Speaking of Gregson, check out his last sponsor on his SPoT AmsterDamn Am profile:
Wal Mart can be fun
July 29, 2007
There's always a mandatory trip or two to Wal Mart on any skate tour. This one happened to be during Phoenix Am. Ronnie thought it would be funny to trick Conhuir. So we did.
Conhuir's socks
July 29, 2007
I thought this was funny. You might not. I don't care either way. It's my site and I like seeing Irish and British dudes arguing.
Coming home from Phoenix Am a few months ago, Conhuir Lynn decided to hang his sweaty socks out of the window to dry them off and he was quite proud of his revelation. As Clifford, who was driving, saw them flailing out of the back window of the van and flapping in the wind, this conversation ensued.
Five in one ish!
July 29, 2007
Ya, I've been fuggin' slacking! No one probably comes here anymore 'cuz I don't update 35 times a day. I've been busy. Have a look at The Skateboard Mag #42 and you'll see. Five cover stories, beeeyotch! Bobier, Ramondetta, Partanen, Taylor and P-Rod. Stay tuned for unedited versions...
Gregson checks in!
July 18, 2007
I got this email from Chris Gregson today, proclaiming himself my first teamrider and telling me my new stickers are blowin' up in Holland:
Amsterdam is sick an everyone wants Brink stickers but they cant have them. Ha ha. I am the first robbrink.com rider. It's official.
Most viewed!
July 17, 2007
I always find it interesting (but usually not surprising) what my most viewed YouTube videos are. After about two years posting video clips and trying to teach myself how not to look like a total amateur video dork, the top three videos are...
#3. Rob Dyrdek at Tampa Pro 07
Not surprising at all considering the success of Rob & Big. But impressive because this video made it to third place over about 115 other videos in the shortest amount of time online. I anticipate it moving to second before anything else, perhaps even gunning for the win!
I guess this is predictable given the mass appeal of the X Games. I dunno. I don't really give a shit about this video clip too much, other than the fat lady's ass in the camera at the beginning.
