Ali Boulala: Tales From The Warner Ave Crew

[@TheReynoldS]

it's crazy how time flies by, all of this is skateboarding ancient history now, I don't think there will ever be a skate era so unique and so rad and so full of emotion and camaradery.. I feel blessed to have witnessed all of it through the videos and lived skateboarding the way our generation lived it.. thanks for sharing these amazing videos 😁🙏

[@rickyjames1659]

But the feeling they give you.just isn't the same 😞 but shit, skating is stilk.tight and I've got my eye on some new up and comers, but the shorts guilty era and flip sorry era, adio, tilt mode were the nonstop GLORY days!

[@AlexG-xl1cc]

It really makes sense that Greco and then almost made a reality series about Baker. Dudes are characters

[@defzeppelin1143]

Yeah I agree with this, sometimes it’s hard for me to compare in with the new generation it’s just not the same.

[@Makabert.Abylon]

Nostalgia is a very strong emotion, its very hard to top no matter what. Im from the old 411 days also, i know exactly what you guys are saying.

[@mikem4314]

It was the best era of skating

[@JoeSmith-gn1ki]

I saw Ali ollie the gonz gap w timberlands and a backpack on. His wheels kinda clipped and he still rolled away first try. Reynolds fs flipped the gonz 2nd try that day. Summer 98.

really hope ali can forgive himself one day. its like 15 years later and he still looks shell shocked. i looked up to this dude so much when i was younger. really sorry was my absolute shit

[@wetcrumb2191]

He's struggles with depression and did hard drugs for a long time

[@AChristian316]

He messed his brain up in the accident so yeah he has a more mellow disposition than he used to

[@chefzackkasmar6767]

Grew up in HB. Lived next to Arto off Atlanta . Good times. This was a real golden era of skateboarding. Each time is skateboarding holds a special place in people’s hearts, this time is mine!

[@freon22]

Good to see Ali is still dressing buttery AF

[@Noobmaster-ju6rz]

Funny thing about Ali he is the reason Drew/Jim/Erik named their board company Baker but yet he was never on Baker.

[@thedonofthsht76-58]

Love these videos. I grew up watching 2g and Sorry. Ali was my favorite bc I was a punk rock kid that skated and liked to drink. And he straight ripped. Did the gnarliest sht

Ali was my style guide when i was 15 😂

[@nvm9040]

I am 18 and Greco & Ali are slowly becoming my style guide 😂

[@jesseozuna2769]

Even though I never became a pro skater I can straight up relate to these dudes. There was a time when my krew and I just skated and would get wasted and do both. Hahah And now how they are now, my krew and myself are like that. Less drinking, or no drinking at all, more responsible, and just skate and have fun. Goodtimes though. 🤘

[@vancouverbill]

Would be so sick to see footage of Ali on mini that Sumner was referring to. Even now very few people do switch flip melon on minis. Corey shepherd is one who comes to mind though

[@John_Lee_]

This reminds me of an old On Video Magazine

[@tomf4087]

I remember him coming to Liverpool. We had to look after him, and he was going to do a few photos for mag. He was only 14 I think, still small, and quiet, which u would be if as a 14 year old, u were dropped in a strange country, with older skaters, who weren't exactly responsible citizens. Sumner was same age I think so I think they got friendly. So he was probably always going to meet the flip guys when in America, due to the Rowley link, and he spent time in Liverpool before california. I can't really remember much really. It was nearly 30 years ago, and I've had braincells move out, but he was a polite kid and a great mini ramp skater, and obviously had talent.

[@christerpettersson5750]

i love these!!!

[@kenshiroFNS]

I remember seeing him in a 411, just a tiny kid homie'd out in baggy jeans. Then he turned into Swag God. I wish he just concentrated on skateboarding, he could have been the best even though he is/was

[@crhymezakaceelomilwaukee3698]

Yup i fkn feelz ya bub!! Imaging now if he was still actually thrashing tho ... The 🐐 fkn ay!

[@218maryland]

Yeah, I feel like he may have been able to make it to GOAT status. Addiction is a mother*** though

[@VENGEFULHEXX]

I can honestly say the early footage before he was full punk mode showed me he had a lot more in his bag then the flip parts showed. I was super surprised when I saw his switch game and overall style. I thought it was Penny for a minute.

[@kenshiroFNS]

@@VENGEFULHEXX Penny was definitely an influence on the young Ali

[@nvm9040]

I love his early Penny look and that is what I think of Sry Flip Days but in my opinion when Ali and Greco started to dress punk,it told me that Ali evolved

[@rafter_man]

I lived in Ocean Breeze from 02-05. Had no Idea those guys lived there in the 90's

He was drinking back then because many Scandinavians learn to drink in an early age. In Denmark you can buy beer and low vol shots when you are 16 and real liquor at 18 but it's pretty commen that you start start experiementing with alkohol at 13-14 and actually with support from many parents.

not just that he got really messed up from the accident himself

[@cosmicfreeway]

he did. and in his old vice epicly later’d he shows himself skating a bit. he talks about how he knows what to do but his body just won’t do it. he keeps trying to do a trick and he just can’t land it. i wonder if he still tries today or just sticks to his music. he’s such a big inspiration for me and his style. his personality now is just so calm. it’s crazy to see how he used to be
