Imagine winning twenty personal stereos. You’d totally get a girlfriend with those.

@anonymity This looked so good. I guess it’s gone too.

Especially Aiwa ones :+1:

Yeah I’d imagine so, although it was in Lincolnshire so it might be in a cabbage field somewhere. Lee Bryan is on Insta, I’m tempted to ask

Must be the GIANT POSTER. Don’t have that I’m afraid. Got quite a few of the A1 posters they did but not this one. Sorry!

Am I imagining a photo of all three Alva guys front rocking the same obstacle at the same time? Probably.

Yeah there’s that one which is Lockleaze too (I think)
and then a landscape shot of Hartsell fs grinding Lockleaze pool from outside the pool (the poster that @buildafire is referring to).
I’ll see if I have it now

Wasn’t there a Raemers Backside Noseblunt photo on the Norwich oddity Habgood skated?

Either CJ or Leo shot it. I think.

It possibly could have been a session video I saw, though - and the photo was Mark Munson.

Always loved photos of here.

I’ve found the pics I mean - will upload in a second.

Here are the Lockleaze Alva pics I mentioned.
From ‘Session 1’ of second generation Skane-led Skateboard! Mag.

Also, re the much discussed by @Scurbrampwoody and @kalson_77 other London Kennington style dish - might it be this one?

That’s Edgware! (And Mac.)

That’s the issue I’ve got a photo in! Backside airwalk on Bisley’s ramp in the “How to Build a Mini Ramp” article.

Which one? These are from two different issues
Both 1988 (just checked)

Edgeware, Kennington and Meanwhile were all modular things cast from the same moulds. I found the plans online somewhere once (possibly Instagram?) and if you look at the concrete at Meanwhile (at least) the date of construction is carved into it.

Went to his house once with Jeremy Fox (cmoac).
He was dead nice.

Oh, the one with “Bad Bob” (tie dye) on the cover. I found my copy last year, but only the cover - the rest of the mag is missing!

Yeah that’s the one with the Lockleaze stuff in - date on that is just Session 1 - 1988
Mac Edgware photo is in an August 1988 issue
