H-Street Is Back From The Dead!

Bobby Fischer was an American chess Grandmaster, and the eleventh World Chess Champion. He is a household name in the chess world and is probably the most notable chess player thanks to the film classic SEARCHING FOR BOBBY FISCHER. And if you haven’t seen that film, rent it. It will make you wish you dropped out of school to forego any type of regular childhood to be labeled a grandmaster. Bobby was considered one of the greatest chess players of all time. But he soon denounced the United States and made some pretty anti-Semitic comments, which kept him out of his home country for the rest of his life. For more than a decade, nobody would hear from Bobby Fischer again. But there was some unfinished business to take care of. In 1992, a rematch with Boris Spassky was set up to crown the real king of chess. Dat matchup was da bomb yo!!! The big question was, “How would Bobby fare after being away for so long?”

Coming back from the dead is not an easy thing to achieve. We’re not talking about zombies and GHOSTS here, but rather people like Bobby Fischer who take a long needed hiatus from work, being forgotten about, then making an impact once again as if they never left. I’m always down for a good discussion about ghosts and zombies. But that’s left for the ghost blogs.

H-STREET is one of those entities rising from the dead. H Street is about to embark on a Bobby Fischer type venture. Who knows where they have been for the past decade or so? But if you’re OLD SCHOOL like me, you know that they were up there during the 90’s barrage of sick skate teams. They were the SAMUEL L. JACKSON of skate teams. They welcomed anyone and their mother to join the team. So what happened to them over the years? Well by way of teams like Plan B and Creature, H Street is definitely back. Ron Allen, Eddie Elguera, Art Godoy, David Hackett and Allysha Bergado make up the rejuvenated team and we all hope that they are here to stay.

For their first project, I say they bring back the PAT CHANNITA bright red skate shoe.
