The bad new is that with the holiday season coming to an end, our good friend Mr. Harley Jones has left Southern California and headed back to his home in Hawaii. The good news is that he is still sending us solid gold footage from the middle of the Pacific and, as usual, Harley is Gnarley! This week Harley and his cousin Brian Poppleton headed out to a local skatepark where they got rained out just a few minutes into the session. Determined to get footage, they followed the rainbow and found themselves a pot of gold in the form of a covered miniramp. They made a deal with the local gods who agreed to let Harley ride the ramp, but only if he shredded it harder than anyone had ever shredded it before. If he failed, he would be tossed in the angry volcano... and if he succeeded, RipStik Video 35 would come out. Harley accepted the challenge and proceeded to take that 3 foot miniramp to the proverbial woodshed. As the battle begun, Harley unleashed a barrage of RipStik madness: Front lip, backlip! Front tail, back tail! The battle was vicious, but the winner undeniable. Having dazed the ramp with his standard bag of insanity, Gnarley decided to finish the session with no mercy... BANGER TIME: frontside pop shove it to rock n' roll?! Backside pop shove it to rock n' roll?!?! Kickflip to rock n' roll?!?!?! And as if all this wasn't enough, Harley decided to smack the ramp upside the head one last time with a blunt stall 180 out, the likes of which haven't been seen since Brian Dinnendahl laid a couple out a year ago in RipStik Video 5 on that bank to parking block (which is still unbeleivable)! As the session ended, the gods were so impressed with Harley's skill that they not only let him live and skate the ramp at the end of the rainbow whenever he wants, they decided to allow Harley into their ranks... known to the world hereforward as Gnarley Bones, RipStik God of the Pacific Islands! All hail! Mahalo Mr. Bones.
Harley Jones is just the BEST!!
