April goofing off in the editing room. I bet most people would be surprised to hear that other than Muska’s part the entire “Fulfill The Dream” video was edited by the owner of the company’s girlfriend.

In “Fulfill” after Olson back tail shuv’s Hubba he jumps over the wall at the end. This is him walking back around and up to the group immediately after.

Van Life. One of my favorite photos. We had the “fulfill” boom box that was always on session and usually playing “Wu Tang Forever” which came out the day before we left for tour.

I’m pretty sure we were the first people to bring a piece of wood to “The Wedge” in Az. So you could drop in on the steps and hit the rail or hubba.

Muska. Sneaking in a toke at 8 am just before meeting up with Skin Phillips at Bank of America rails where Chad would do the back to back noseslide’s down the 9 and then the 18. Like a large majority of his tricks in “Fulfill” it was first try.

    One of the first videos I saw sometime around 99. Still a masterpiece from the ahead-of-their-time tricks to the soundtrack. I am looking to buy the DVD online right now, but it is proving hard to find. Thanks Snyder!
