Brad Staba Quote Sept 20, 2007 – photo Brian Gaberman
This quote is taken from a caption in Skateboarder from the article titled Going Home Brad Staba.

“This ground was total shit. I had to run a marathon just to get speed for this hip. Then, when I finally got there, a gust of wind would take all the speed away. It was pretty fun rolling away though. After I landed, I put my hands in the air and waved my index fingers high to show everybody who number one is. Then I clapped for myself and signed an autograph on my board. As I was doing all of this, Dave Duncan was telling the park how hard I partied the night before with a megaphone.”

These quotes are from the Blog Drama Article in Thrasher Magazine issue #325

“It bubbles up on your tongue and bursts, like a belch choked back at the last second. BLOG!”

“The reason that blog is so disgustingly annoying is that it’s one of those hot new words that everyone’s suddenly talking about all the time”

“If the internet is giving the media back to the people (doubtful), then the result is a lot like people themselves: sort of lazy, often boring, and not really all that smart.”
