Welcome. This is my contribution to the skateboard nostalgia website trend. I started skateboarding in 1987 and I got my first issue of Transworld while on vacation in Maine in 1988. I hadn't really seen too many magazines or anything at that point, so this was my initial exposure to skateboard culture beyond riding with my friends in a small town near Buffalo, New York. Of course the first thing I end up seeing is an ad with GSD doing a crailtap with duct tape on his face. I didn't really understand a lot of what I was looking at, but it at the same time it all seemed very interesting. I've always liked the GSD airplane safety graphics and the new/used contrast board photo. This is one of those images that has stuck with me over the years.

nice ad, never saw that one. Here are some photos of my old G.S.D. - what a great and different shape than everything else that was out at the time!
