Dark spots floating in front of my eyes.
This is some of earliest coverage of Javier in a US magazine. He was one of the first riders on Cliché in 1999 and was a staple of their team during the 2000-10s. His artwork was recently used on an album cover for Ray Barbee. The same art would make its way to a board for Ray on Krooked as a guest artist special. Javier's part in The Strongest of the Strange from 2005 is great and he's one of my favorite skaters.
North Cal was the Spanish distributor for Deluxe, NHS, Think, and other assorted brands. I'm not sure if they are still around.
I swung by the skatepark after work on Monday. It didn't seem so windy when I left the office, but it was once I got to the park. A slight rain/snow mix showed up at 5:00 PM so I gave up at that point. It was not cold out at all so losing the time to wind and snow was a bummer since the lights are still on. I did a few frontside sliders on the curb, fakie ollies on the quarter, and a frisbee toss on flat. I guess this counts as skateboarding.
The photo is credited to Carri. I'm not sure on a full name.
