Q&A: Michael Brooke - Publisher, Concrete Wave Magazine (7141 Posts) Topic Info History of Longboarding On 2/16/2007 Betsy wrote in from United States  (68.96.nnn.nnn) Hey there. I am doing a speech on longboarding because I enjoy it sooo much. There's the part of the speech that I just can't fill because information on the history of longboarding seems scarce. I was wondering if there is anywhere that I can find valid information on longboarding and when it was established. Thanks!     Rate post 266424 !

I took a buyout from Ford and I'm back in school trying to start my life over. It's going well but i'm super busy and trying to stay focused. My family's life depends on it. No money or time for fun stuff like skateboarding. I will find a way to make the Buckeye. Cheers Flounder     Rate post 266356 !

The drool was from falling asleep, not lust. I'm too old to have those thoughts! I finished not only the Fadell article last night, but read the whole mag! It was so great I had to have a cigarette after----- and I don't even smoke! Uh oh, I just contradicted myself! Oh well, what's a day without a good contradiction!     Rate post 264813 !

This morning I woke up with the mag still open to page 63 and the slightest bit of drool on the Greg Fadell article. I'll finish it when I get home tonight, it should be dry by then!

So per ususal I had to set up everything (lights, camera, lens, sutter speed, aperature, angle) and enlist fellow sessioners/assistants to supply the trigger finger. The camera gets passed around and I don't really know what I have till I download. Could have been one of a couple of people? Thanks JBH, and thanks M. Brooke for supporting the scene!

On 1/22/2007 Michael Brooke wrote in from Canada  (65.95.nnn.nnn) thanks... I seem to recall asking Greg about that shot...I think he said th shot was a self portrait - we'll get to the bottom of things cheers Michael ps In my opinion, Greg Fadell is the one of the top slalom/downhill photographers in the world...we will be featuring a lot more of his work.     Rate post 264709 !

You really got a nice mix this time: vert, street, DH, sliding, slalom, a mix of pros and unknowns, and on several continents to boot. Thanks especially for the killer profile on Greg Fadell. Except for one "zit" (below), I think it was the best short interview you've ever run. Everything was top shelf. Jason asked great questions, and Greg, of course, gave some great answers. The photos were fantastic as well. (Who knew Dominik had such a good eye?) My only quibble: Whoever took the full-page opening photo (Steve Rinaldi, aka Flounder?) deserves credit. Otherwise, bra-VO. :-)     Rate post 264659 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0)
