Probably of zero help, but I’m pretty sure that’s from a Team Dead Cow article in the June 89 issue of RaD. It was my first ever skate magazine.

Just on the subject of Lockleaze above, I think it was in the first 50-50 shop video iirc.

Benny saying you could back lip it now? What’s going on?
Bob had a backlip sequence, right?
Bob had a ‘Survivors’ interview in Sidewalk around 97 ish.
IIRC the backlip sequence was in that.

He’s saying it was totally gone by late 98early 99

Yeah, and I didn’t really skate transition at all till about '96-'97, so by the time that sort of spot would have interested me and I was driving up and down the country to skate stuff, it was gone.

No way, was late 90s because I wanted to go but never got the chance. Pretty sure Vaughn got a photo there in the late 90s.
