Now usually I would have stuck this in the gallery section, but this will become news soon enough….My question to you people out there is……DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO MATT REASON?????
I had always heard he got real sick. Some weird illness and couldn’t skate.
I heard Lyme Disease. Not sure if that’s just a rumor.
Reason is the reason. Still goes down in my Top 5. Number 1 is Gall if you had to know.
^^^^^and that is why Cookout and I are friends! hahaha I have a copy if a documentary film project done by a young Temple film student about Matt and his illness. I think Oyola has been thinking about getting in touch with Matt for years…
i think Ki knows something…….
Okay….For starters, I know nothing. YES, for once I am seriously lacking in the gossip department. I need to sit down with Rick and get the full scoop. However, in third grade I had Lymes Disease when it first came about and I was in a hospital for a month. I was in a wheelchair, and had trouble walking for quite sometime. The doctors didn’t know what to do at the time. So if Matt had it as bad as I did, if not worse, I can see why he doesn’t skate anymore……I want everyone to go home and watch Best Of 411#2…I think Matt has a section in it…..He heelflips the sidewalk gap on 2nd and Chestnut…dope….I am gonna get to the bottom of this!!!!!
Didnt he have a Bone Marrow Disease? Last I heard thats what it was but I might be wrong…If your reading this Matt, Hope your chillin now and alright..You are a fucking legend in my book and many others
I saw him do a smith grind on a box at the sub zero contest at Rizzo Rink years ago. I remember thinking, that trick is funny, what a prankster. Then I realized that he was seriously into it. It was like, yeah that trick is hard and no one was doing it any more. It was the day i noticed that the East Coast was ahead, not behind. Although his slams made skateboarding look really really hard. Yeah Reason…
(Sent via cell phone) On that note….just were the hell is Sergei Trudnowski? I heard he works in the coffee industry now.. I could have sworn i had seen him riding a track bike down Bainbridge not that long ago. I would recognize his skinny lanky frame anywhere… We need our original heads back pronto…. These kids now have no roots….. Im gonna start teaching East Coast Skate History at Temple or something.
Serge is still around, Stein talks to him all the time.
yeah serge is around and has been skating fdr early weekday mornings. he is the official la colombe coffee dude now. he also told me of a recent reason sighting in pittsburgh at an urban outfitters of all things! married, short hair, slightly stocky and totally awesome! i believe whatever illness he had left him with pretty harsh arthritis. those dudes are the reason philly is one of the most famous skate cities and for sure on a lot of top 10 lists including mine.
p.s. ive been thinkin about that time a lot lately, dont be surprised to see some nostalgia coming youre way soon!
(More cell phone antics) I remember riding 63 mm. Physics wheels with a Reason board with the keys on it…. I used to come to Love on the weekends and witness these dudes kill that place. Remember Wawa red marble? Or what about the OLD City Hall? Im talking back before they originally sandblasted it….when it used to be as smooth as glass…. Those dudes were the guys who when they came through those spots…. you showed respect….. I could go on for days….. and i plan too …

Ki, nobody cares that you figured out how to post from your phone. You are still the instigator and the babbler, I’m the head nerd around these parts. Isn’t it nice how the site degrades on cell phone browsers, though?
Nice Double Post, Mr. Cell Phone!
Ok then…..how bout we talk about how Gonzo got me nearly killed in West Phil over 9 bucks like 7 years ago…. You guys lived in the hood. I aint been right since…..(sent by my busted phone)
The story Ki refers to above is just another example of how being black doesn’t mean you are an automatic Gangsta. That’s what the shotgun in the truck is for!
It was like one of my first times skating in Philadelphia. And my most memorable experience…And YES, HAVEBOARD is right, being black does not make you gangsta…I’m from Cape May….What’s gangsta bout dat?
