80's cheeseball dude?I just happened to be watching the Five Years documentary a few days ago and Nelson George brought up how Bowie's 80s pop may seemingly not be all that respectable, but super heavyweights like Mick Jagger have tried multiple times to make those kinds of songs and utterly failed yet Bowie succeeded as that middle aged adult male pop icon. It's not easy. Mick would have given his left nut to have written "Let's Dance" for She's The Boss.
and this is my favorite bowie video, nice and sloppy, almost goes off the rails a couple times. the vocals and guitar hold it together nicely, the drums and bass are loose yet cautious, laid back. an amazing video document of how the glam rock sound was created, the foundation based on simple rock n roll, and a raw, powerful attitude...That's pretty killer and shows you his talent how he can take the most generic blues riff imaginable and make it into an interesting song and big hit.

Woah, and that son is...Demarcus Bell? Never heard that one before.Demetress Bell
Still surprising to me. There have been plenty of college players who put up crazy offensive numbers and games in college and went to the pros and either flamed out or are mediocre role players at bestAgreed. I'll admit I thought Curry had bust potential as a prospect because as you say the NBA has frequently not been kind to undersized shoot-first point guards. I thought at his worst he might be like Trey Burke or best case would be Steve Francis. I definitely didn't see Curry as some future transcendent player.
My friend used to do so many pressure flips, well past when everyone else stopped doing them, the end of his board would be as pointy as a pencil.There was a real marked difference between '93 skating and '96 skating. It was evolving on almost a monthly basis. You couldn't get away with half the tricks you did in '93 by '96. Pressure flips, varial flips, double kickflips, noseslide to k-grind tranfers -- no, bro. They were out.I skated from 92-96 and definitely remember when I first started there were tons of different tricks and a year or so later everyone just focused on doing 5-10 "classic" tricks cleanly.
RIP Pressure Flips, gone but not forgotten

Finally! Been wanting to grab one of these forever. Where the hell did you find these?!It looks like Flying Bomb has had them all along.
