An amazing singer with so much raw talent, unbridled improvisational power...and of course, absolutely perfect pitch.. Brings back so many memories of being a little skate rat in the 80s

The Full Story of Animal Chin.Credit Goes to LifechurchHawaii.com and Michael David Cilantro. Won Ton "Animal" Chin was born January 5 1924 and grew up in Lijiang, at age 3 he began extensive training in the fine art of Lijiang T'ai chi ch'uan, Mastering the art by the age of 14. After his parents’ death when his was only 15 years old and keeping vigil beside their coffins for 4 years, he went to America and became a professional Roller skater at the famous Skate City Roller plaza. Unlike traditional Chinese, he ate Pizza and drank warm 7up and rolled about the streets and sidewalks on skates and dressed as a beggar wearing worn clothes, large pointed straw hat, shoes, and always holding a fan as well as a gourd containing 7up. However, he was warm-hearted and was always ready to lend a helping hand to ordinary people. Of course, his eccentric behavior but compassionate nature makes people think that he must have his own reason to behave as “Animal Chin”. One day while skating down the street at a high rate of speed, Animal Chin came across a gap in the cement, he barely had anytime to react to the huge gap, with one skate up in the air and the other skate wobbling across the cement he wiped out, tearing his pants and thrashing his skates up and landing in a pile of garbage, causing a two-by-four piece of wood with the words skate engraved into it to fall from the structure of an old abandoned roller skate shop. Upon gazing at his thrashed skates, Animal Chin gained some sort of enlightenment, he looked at the fallen sign and then gazed at his thrashed skates, it was then that he grabbed his skates and the two-by-four and raced home to his workshop.Nobody knows exactly what happened in his workshop but 3 days later Animal Chin came flying out of his workshop on a two-by-four with Roller skates Bolted onto it.On this day June 21 1951 the First Skateboard Rolled across the cement in a small California town known as Eureka, Animal Chin thrashed across the cement and a transportation revolution was born. You can Thank me now :D Cheeee Now to write Johnny Rads Story :D

Even as a 13 yr old in 1987 I thought this was a corny video "film". The only parts I liked were Wallows and Chin ramp. 1987 also saw Powell come out with "boneite" boards, and the material fell apart so quickly they had to put a stop to it after a few months. I think of '87 as the year Powell Peralta showed how out of touch they were, and it was out of this vulnerability that H Street and SMA Rocco Division (later renamed World Industries) started later that year.

A guy named Rob Fitzgerald. He was the guy that said "I love you, man" in the Bud Light commercial. The one where the father and son are fishing. He was also on HBO's Arli$$. I think Stacy Peralta met him at an acting class.

@JezBollah 667 I searched and found no evidence that he was dead. I don't know if he's alive or dead. He was entertaining in the Bones Brigade videos, though. The drummer in the Jordanaires band is Jordan Zevon. Jordan's father was Warren Zevon, who sang Werewolves of London.

He still performs as Johnny Rad. I met him in Vegas in 2016, super amazing guy. He was performing at some skate demo/concert thing I don't remember it exactly. He's got a facebook page.
