KG on Nine Club would be good pod

Watched this just before coming here and really enjoyed it. He seems like a good ā€˜un.

I would say Iā€™ll get a Cafe deck in the queue but Iā€™ve already got one waitingā€¦

Iā€™d assume one or two on here know Korahn?

Iā€™ve not watched that vid yet but he does come across as a genuinely sound guy. Hopefully Mob Grip have some grip tape on their way out to him (instagram refā€¦) :+1:

Even betterā€¦heā€™s already been on The Bunt and its great

Did I imagine it or did someone (Build?) mention on here a while ago there was a chance of a Penny interview at some point? Hope that happens before weā€™re all to old to read text on a phone.

There was mention of Manzoori trying to get a Penny documentary off the ground. Dunno if heā€™s got any further with it?

He has been working on itā€¦early days, but yeahā€¦all headed in the right direction.

Was the Transworld 30th interview the last one he gave? Pretty sure Iā€™ve seen the one in the red top, but canā€™t place it.

There was a video with Danny Minnick where Tom came across pretty cooked.

An hour in and at least 90% of the chat has been about sponsor changes - (adopt your best Michael Caine voice) thousands of them. The timelineā€™s only at 1992 by this point :joy:

I donā€™t know why he didnā€™t just stick with Eppic. Oh, waitā€¦

That might be why.

I can remember my local shop was unable to shift a few decks that had been sitting in the board racks for ages in the late 80s . They kept discounting them and the dregs of the dregs ended up going for Ā£15 a shot just so they could get rid. Amongst those leftovers was an Eppic Gomez pro model and they couldnā€™t even give that away for free :joy:. It was left outside the shop for days and I think the only reason it eventually disappeared was that the street cleaner picked it up as rubbish.

Look at that nose. You could have your eye out with that.

Markovich says the odd shaped Eppic decks were a rip off of Uncle Wiggly decks. They werenā€™t. They were rip offs of Skull Skates Mutant decks, which came with a left or right bias.

Like this -

Incidentally, in amongst those shitty Ā£15 discount decks was an Uncle Wiggly Argyle which was huge, flat and made of fibreglass epoxy and some weirdo bought that piece of crap.
