Tony Manfre #3.



Tony nosegrinds a handrail during his days on Powell. He would later jump to enjoi and eventually joined up with the relaunched Shut. His switch ollie down Wallenberg would've happened while he was riding for Powell. He's currently a musician/DJ who still skateboards.

Is there a Powell Peralta resurgence afoot? They kept plugging away in their skate zone all this time and it sort of feels like they are back. I'm sure the older dudes with money who fulfilled their childhood dreams of having a Bones Brigade themed man cave have helped P & P's bottom line all along, but it seems like the company is now doing more than dominating the reissue game. Although they are making a special Mike McGill deck to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the McTwist. Make what you will out of all of this.

An attempt was made to fix my old iMac last night. Unfortunately, it was unsuccessful. On the positive side, we were able to recover all the files off the hard drive so I have access to the Vert Is Dead archive again.
