I'm not sure if Bryce was ever mentioned for gnarly tricks done at China Banks, but I'm saying he gets props for this crail slide/grind.
In case you were wondering about the little A in a circle sticker like I was, it is design for Thrasher comics. I looked it up last night and found the answer rather quickly.
The sticker is a spoof of the Comics Code Authority logo. The CCA logo appeared on comic books back in the day and still is found on some books these days. The idea behind the Comics Code Authority was that comic books were corrupting the minds of the youth and that naughty things like sex, horror and violence needed to be kept from their young eyes. Any comic book displaying the little approved logo was safe for the kids. All of these shenanigans went down in the 1950s during that fine period in US history called McCarthyism. Of course there were a bunch of bad asses who didn't need anybody's approval and kept drawing the bad kind of comics. The Wikipedia article is an interesting read.
Thrasher's logo went by the name of SCUM, which was an acronym for Society for Comic Underground Morality.
Blaize also has the same sticker on his board in yesterday's post.
The photo is by Steve Sherman.
