Hanging with the KKK.

REAL Jim Thiebaud slick graphic c.1992. It was an update of one of his earlier boards that was released a couple of years before. It also showed a racist bastard hanging from a tree but it was not as " colourful " as this one.

Got Milk?

A Droors Alphonzo Rawls ad from a 1994 issue of Big Brother. As you can see, Alphonzo is enjoying himself in this ad very much! Calcium does help a skaters bones :)

Sheffey @ The Banks in '89



Before Sheffey skated for LIFE he was skating for SHUT when this Venture ad was made back in 1989, the year I was born into the world of skateboarding.

Koston number two





Eric Koston's second shoe released in 1999.

Hand painted Blind Gonz deck 1991




I have no idea how many of these Mark Gonzales painted up back in 1991. If you have one , sell it , put a down payment on a new car and pay off some outstanding bills;)

Koston's first shoe





Released in 1998 by Es, they were a very impressive shoe. They did not look like a pair of moon boots and had very good board feel. I never had a pair because you rarely saw them on the sale rack and in 1998 I was addicted to DC......how times have changed!

Take four and call me in the morning




Just found this classic Kryptonics wheels ad and had to post it. Judging by the size and shape of those massive pills I would say this is from around the mid to late 70's.
