Alex- 5-0 fakie

About a month ago, Alex came out and skated some pools with me. I asked him to do a Guest Post on the Blue Tile Obsession. This is what we came up with. Brian Fick provided the images and I want to thank him here and now. I -- personally -- think that Alex Perelson is one of the most amazing vert skateboarders that I have ever seen ...  and I've seen most. Thank you to Alex for the memories. Skate- Ozzie

"Brian Fick showed us this pool in Vista. The deathbox is right near the hip and the tranny is kind of kinked. It took me a few times going there to get this 5-0 fakie. I was scared to come in fakie through the kink and slammed a few times trying. The other shot is from when I went with Jon Spooner, Fick, and his roommate John to the hills to shoot his AK47. I'd never shot a gun before. There were dirt roads far behind our targets so we had to be careful not to shoot too high. Guns are serious. I don't feel comfortable holding one because -- to be honest -- all I could possibly do with it is damage. It was a lot of fun though." - Alex Perelson
