Caution tape.
I had to pick a couple of Slap covers from my senior year of college. Slap was a welcome third voice in addition to what Thrasher and Transworld were publishing. They were a little more creative and arty while focusing on slightly more underground skateboarders. The music reviews were solid and more likely bands I was actually into. I put this feature together quickly so I'm not sure if I'd chosen the same two I scanned. I think I'd maybe have gone with Greg Hunt's cover instead, but I wasn't going to change anything once I got everything organized. You also can't go wrong with any Julien photos so that made this one an easy choice. I think he is wearing some Etnies or possibly some early run Emericas. I like how he's got "nose" written on the front of his board.
As was the case for the Rick Howard cover, there was no photographer credit for the picture. My guess would be Lance Dawes took the picture and didn't credit himself.
