New Pro? Believe It!

Mr. Boulala

etnies would like to take this moment to proudly introduce the newest addition to our family—a man eclectic and talented enough to be added to an already well-rounded and diverse roster. A man who surfaced on the scene in the mid-90s and following in the footsteps of Tom Penny, elevated switch stance skateboarding to a new level. A man that takes on some of the most unskateable and unlikely terrain—and makes it look effortless and fun. A man who’s produced some of the most unique and entertaining video parts in skateboarding’s history. He gives new meaning to the term “flair”—leopard print is no match for him. A man who doesn’t quite ride for Baker, but is elite enough to continually be granted parts in their videos. A man who almost ollied 25 stairs in Flip’s Sorry and if it wasn’t for the reality of inertia and gravity, he might have actually landed it. He’s a man who’ll take etnies to realms it’s never seen before. He could be like every other pro if he wanted to—instead, he chooses to be Ali Boulala and we’re delighted to welcome him to the team.

“What do you get when you think of Ali? Absolute carnage and mayhem at all times—so be aware—rock and roll!”

—Arto Saari

  50. John

    Jan 24, 2006

    Jag tycker fan att Ali är värd all uppmärksamhet han kan få! Fast han kanske var cleanare förr som "hip hop" så är fan så mycket råare och coolarre nu. Det som gör han så förbannat bra är att han, som texten ovan också säger, kör sin grej och skiter i alla andra! Gött Grattis Ali!

  60. sellOUT 89

    Jan 24, 2006

    ali is one of those skaters that doesnt have to flip the board 39505 times or skate the biggest rail...he can just skate wut ever he wants, he doesnt care wut people think of his parts, he's not just 'milking the cow'...ali kinda help change the skate world if u look at it, you might say he doesnt have style...well he makes me wanna skate!! isnt that wut a skater is suppose to do!?

  61. josh

    Jan 24, 2006

    Ali is clean, from the lovely country sweden. he started skate regular but changed to goofy and skate crazy on bouth. Ali got style, not like anyone else and that is what´s so funny about him. I hate HATERS, skateboarding is about peace and love not hate. So please stop talk so much shit, let skateboarding go back to when it was fun and no wannabees complained on a PRO skater. Lets be friends, we all love the same thing PEACE

    Hieno homma, mutta tärkeintähän on, että Alin mutsi on Suomesta. Mukava mamma ja sieltähän ne skilssit tulee.. ja ei kai pieni tissuttelu ja huumori haittaa mitään?
