The Paulo Diaz Switch Ollie Challenge

Karl Watson - May 2002 Organika ad
I believe this is one of the first Organika Skateboards ads, if not the first. It looks really damn cool, so I wanted to post it on its own. I was rereading Karl's 48 Blocks interview recently and learned that he initially wanted to name the company Altered, but was talked out of it by Troy Morgan.
Organika was such a cool board company, and I wish it would have lasted longer. On the bright side, it wasn't around long enough to succumb to the inevitable fate of becoming a parody of itself, like nearly all other longtime skateboarding companies do.
Ali Boulala interview - May 2002 Skateboarder
Ali got the feature interview and on the cover of the May 2002 issue of Skateboarder, which includes plenty of photos of tricks that appear in his Sorry part, released in the same month. Words by Mackenzie Eisenhour, and photos by Oliver Chassignole.
