"i did this sculpt to honour one of skateboarding's most incredible individuals. it wasn't a commission or anything. i really did it for myself. but as i came close to finishing the sculpt, i thought ‘why not send it to john?' i'm really glad i did. it's the least i could do for a guy who gave so much inspiration to the skateboarding community. when he recieved the sculpture via the guys at dlx, he called me to thank me for it. when i realized who i was on the phone with i couldn't breathe. lol! i was so hyped! thanks, john!

i want to thank the guys out at dlx for helping me finish the sculpture. jim thiebaud and damon thorny, both sent me photos that helped me out tremendously. when the sculpt was finished, i sent it to dlx and they made sure john recieved it.

i love mark gonzales, so i'm gonna quote him again here speaking about cards in the transworld "sight unseen" film. “he's an original ripper; he's an original coors." i'd say that about sums it up. there are few people who epitomize the spirit of skateboarding like john cardiel. if you don't know that, then you need to go watch his videos. enough said!"

john cardiel's week!

scanned: pinkviolence

welcome back to final day of john cardiel week. if you missed day 1’s collection of old cards interviews or day 2's anti hero & spitfire ad archive or day 3's waffle when-sday with john's cover and video gallery or day 4's interview with patrick o'dell about the making of the cardiel epicly later'd episodes then you should definitely go back and check those out first.

normally for our five favorites videos we follow riders to their favorite hangouts but this week for the 5th and final day of john cardiel's week we went a different route and took a cruise around san francisco with john's anti hero teammate / friend and one of the funniest guys in skateboarding, frank gerwer, to look at some of his favorite cardiel skatespots around sf.

100% gnar!

here's john cardiel with special guest appearances by julien stranger, joey tershay and max schaaf, skating in denver, sacramento and strawberry lodge in the years 2002 - 2003.

-----

and here's another tribute jam done in honour of the living legend and one of the rawest all around 100% skateboarding ripper on the planet, cards! here's the one and only, short sharp shock, yo!!!

what would cards do?
-----
hit the deck, your nearly dead
blood and grit swims round your head
doc sez you wont walk again
resign to quit? wont comprehend

down the snake back to square one
need that speed so boom its on
breathing hard chest is tight
stoke the fire reignite

think of the name absorb the pain
stand on your two feet begin again
bloodied and battered laying on the floor
dust yourself off get in the mix back for more

suck it up take the slam
plug it up drop right back on in
when your stretched out black and blue
when more than the winds knocked out of you

then think - what would cards do?

- sss.

a'ight, enjoy and have a great day, y'all!

sorry, but i'm not a f'n lemming!

john cardiel, my hero and idol! and just 'cause cards is an advocate of street fixed gear bike ridin', it does not mean i have to ride one too, right? i am seriously not into that shit! but if that's what you like to do and you're into it, go ahead and have fun.

anyway, the image above is a mixed media collage i threw up just earlier as i was bored doing absolutely nothing ta'day. hope y'all like it as i did enjoy doing it and please show me some love / hate, all you kind peeps that visit my stupid blog. ha!

a'ight, that's all fo' now. all hail cardiel!

peace.

p.s. to all you dimwits who thinks cards is still paralysed, where the fuq have you been?

ad: anti hero/dlxsf

read and comprehend the ad above. john cardiel a.k.a cards, is one of the most determined person in the skateboarding culture who ever existed.

he is also one of the few skateboarders who lives by the "do or die!" attitude and there are only a handful of skateboarders who lives and live up to that ethics. and i really do not need ten fingers to count how many skateboarders out there internationally, who are similar to the way cards lives his daily life.
my out most respect to and for him for never giving up in his life, no matter how fucked up it can get sometimes!
