Anthony Robles

Raw, low-key, and straight to the point: Anthony Robles, the chief.

Anthony's skateboarding is completely different than everyones. The way he's looking at a spot is probably equivalent to the way Picasso used to look at a snow white piece of blank paper... Robles doesn't just skate, he creates. This is not an interview, and these pictures are actually from quite some time ago... which proves how sick they are.

This spot is as gnarly as it looks. The ground is slippery and full of mossy bullshit, your board can honestly fall into the water on a seconds notice, and the entire rock is just plain wet and bumpy. Though we weren't the first to discover this spot, we did find it without looking. We were in OB eating and enjoying a few tallboys when we saw this thing that looked like a quarter pipe molded into this huge rock we were sitting by, which was the base of the entire thing. We were just chilling in a cave, doing whatever, when we noticed this thing. It was probably a week or two later than Anthony headed back with Eugene Kim to shoot this photo. This though is what I'm talking about when I speak of a timely photo--I could've posted this next year and it still would have been sick, regardless if it was really shot more than half a year ago.

Roblazed kills it--he's the chief, he's low key, never in your face, and simply doesn't care about the trends or trying to keep up... he doesn't have to, people honestly need to try and keep up with him. It's not always what your doing, or like how big of a set your killing... or how huge of a handrail you destroyed... don't get me wrong, that is sick, but I think it's how you do everything, above what your actually doing. Style for miles...
