Quim Cardona #1.



Rocking a Metropolitan shirt. I've still got the one that my parents bought me when they went on a trip to Santa Barbara. It's a little big to wear these days, but I'm not getting rid of it or anything. It's too cool of a t - shirt.

sooner or later you may actually stumble upon something that hasn't already been posted somewhere else.

No shit there's gonna be some doubles, Sherlock.

There's only a finite number of magazines, pictures, catalogs, etc., to scan in from. And from that the number of images worth scanning is even smaller. Not everyone has access to the kind of archives that Lance Mountain has. Doing a quick Google image search doesn't turn up the Rick Howard, Mike Carroll or even the Gabriel Rodriguez ads from last week. That doesn't mean they aren't online or that this site is even an original idea, but it is covering some ground that hasn't seen the light of day in nearly two decades.

you really shouldn't even respond to haters that post under anonymous.

That kid's probably twelve-years-old... and talking shit about the both of us on some messageboard right now as we speak.

I get these every now and then... glad I'm not the only one, haha.

Keep doing your thing, justin.

Doubles are bound to happen, especially with the more popular ads... who cares. Some people take this shit way too serious.

Nobody has exclusive rights to anything in this realm. And if for some reason they think they do... fuck 'em.

Exactly. This is something I'm doing for fun. That doesn't exempt it from criticism, but at the same time who cares? So the same Matt Hensley picture winds up online a dozen times. Different people might not visit all the same sites, but everybody who skated back then is going to be stoked on the photo, no matter where they see it.
