Be kind rewind

I saw him at pier 7 in that era.
He was wearing a leather sheepskin coat and looked off his tits. I thought it was a hobo till my mate clocked him

I watched this the other day and the song alone immediately transported me back to ‘97. Frank’s part was mandatory viewing before we went out skating. Looking at it now it’s amazing how it still holds up. Switch tricks on handrails, tech tricks down big stuff, 50-50 up a handrail… and that last line with the cab ender could easily hold up in any 2024 part.

I put a link to this YouTube account in the footage section last time but I think this thread makes more sense.

If you’re of a certain age this account is a must follow :grin:

I’ll quite often wake up with some random earworm for no apparent reason. It happened today and I haven’t managed to shift it. Walked the dog, rode my bike round the woods and been surfing for a couple of hours and it’s still there, looping away in my head. It’s a weird one to pop up out of nowhere - it’s the tune from Doug Smith’s TJ part in Public Domain. It’s been so persistent that we’re even having burritos for dinner. Maybe dumping it in here will stop the madness.

Love this section!

Also… the stuff Chico was doing on the Tommy G re-issue leading up to this coming out.

It made me redrill the wheelbase on my Gonz reissue at the time.
Didn’t make me any better. :laughing:

Can’t remember seeing this before. Pretty shocking. The backside tailslide at 0:50 is special. Check his arms. Wow.

Appropriate thread? I just discovered that there’s about 40 years of hi-res, skate catalogues across a ton of brands available to view on the Internet Archive.

Liking this spread from the 1993 FTC one:

Sounds like a link I could lost in for ages.
Can get to it from my phone at the mo as it’s giving me…

Will have to try again later when I’m home.

Incredible time warp footy. No Lee Ralph in there? Rocker ripping too. Didn’t the write up say that he thought he got robbed for not winning, but that he missed the point by trying to do tricks and not using the ramp?

How long did that place last? They must have spent serious cash on that build.
