Matt Field #11.


Wall Flower.

I've been thinking about what skateboarding was like twenty years ago lately. They built the local park and a lot of kids were rolling. Rasa Libre and the relaunched Stereo were popular among the skaters who were more creative and didn't fully relate to either the hesh or fresh camps. After doing this blog for a while, I'm fascinated by what younger generations pick up as as key influences.

I guess the Ipath reboot has been selling well, even if a few of the original heads aren't involved. I only did minimal research when I posted the Ipath scans back in August, but the company was on the sketchy side in its heyday, as per usual in the shady world of skateboard business. It turned the week into kind of a bummer because I wanted it to be a feel good type of entry about the return of a much loved departed brand. That's how it goes sometimes.

I've got the annual week of Halloween fun planned out. I'm amazed I can think of something vaguely different each year for scary season.

I scanned this and then decided I wanted to go with something else, but ran out of time to find a replacement. That's why it's a clunker of a post today. Sorry.
