A Tide Changer...



This photo, which I was lucky enough to find again, is one that always stuck deep in my brain.

I remember seeing it in a Thrasher while in my 7th grade math class, although the photo is from '94, they ran it again in a comprehensive Drehobl interview. I loved Hubba Hideout photos, and was obsessed with the EMB Days of skating (the hang-out, crew mentality, not the clothes). I saw the style on the nosegrind, and the butt in his mouth.

It just crushed everything I knew and thought about skating and life. Smoking was bad...but this photo was so good. It was good to be bad. It all clicked.
