Ocean Howell


In those first years when Rocco companies dominated, there were a handful of other guys who were keeping up, Ocean Howell being one of them. A French kid named Rene gave me a tape with a bunch of videos on it and it contained this Ocean Howell part from the Birdhouse video Ravers. Super sick. Dude had a smooth style and a nice bag of tricks. Around the time of that video, Birdhouse swung by my city to do a demo. I was pretty psyched to see Ocean but was pretty disappointed when all he did was try big spin flip fs nose slide on a box the whole time. This Next Generation part was also really good.

That's one of my favorite video parts. I had Ravers, but a friend borrowed it, then lied that he had it and never gave it back. Bastard.

In that 6 hour tape I had, this was the only 3 min clip worth watching.

I was looking for this clip on youtube for a long time but never saw it searching Ocean Howell. Decided to search for Birdhouse Ravers and there it was.
