Speaking of Charlie Sheen, I need to get hold of his brother… do you have his Emailio Addrestevez?
(Yes, I logged in specially to reply to an old comment on a dead thread to trot out an old joke I’m pretty sure I’ve said on here before)

This is the most important thing to mention.

Then again - I think there just possibly may be something in what he says in the Times interview! He’s not exactly claiming to be a pro skater. Just saying he was hired by a shop owner to set up
a team made up of people far more skilled than him. And there actually once was a skate shop on Kensington Church Street where the antique shops are located - it was called Five a Side. There’s an ad in the June 1978 issue of Skateboard magazine. In subsequent issues there are more ads from Five A Side highlighting their products. It appears to be a short-lived company. Could this be the connection?

The rebuttal
He literally does, he says “I was a pro skateboarder” here.
Just because the shop existed, it doesn’t really back up his bizarre claims. Maybe he chose that one to lie about because it was so short-lived and lowkey.

One of my first boards was handed down to me from an uncle, it was a 70s wooden ply banana board jobbie with Pegasus trucks and Kryptonics Big Reds, it had a sticker on it that said “TRIMS Custom Skateboards, London” in a jagged font. I tried looking it up a few years back and could only find one reference to them online, a photo on the Middle Age Shred forum, which has now disappeared.
So, just saying, there were probably a few shops in London that momentarily had a team, or sponsored kids etc and nobody remembers them now.
By the way I still have the Krypto Big Reds and they’re still rad
