Andy Stone #2.



Professional Engineer.

The first tour Andy ever went on as a sponsored skateboarder was for B.B.C. when he was a teenager. They gave him a bus ticket to meet up with Bill Danforth out in the country and then they drove around in Bill's van doing demos at shops. In an old interview in Strength, Andy said about the tour that Bill was cool and responsible.

What's the deal with the Shorties sticker in the corner of the ads? Were they under the same distro at this time? Kind of a crazy little 90s relic sitting inside these ads...

I don't know. Thanks for reminding me about that as it was something I noticed when I was scanning the ads in. The earlier ads didn't have the logo.
