Remy Stratton #5.



A little more G & S for the week. Those G & S rails are gigantic. Remy is riding Doug Smith's pro model.

RIP Sin Elgeljia.

Doug Smith.



Doug rode for Powell Peralta and turned pro for G & S. He had some good runs in that park in Tijuana for Public Domain.

The photo is credited to Ransack. No first or real name given.

Dan Wilkes.



The elusive Dan Wilkes. Another guy I don't know all that much about. When you get props from Jeff Phillips and Tom Groholski, you must be doing something right.

Mike Vallely.



I always liked this photo. I had the board he was riding and I liked the shape of it much more than his Powell Peralta board with the elephant. As for Mike, I honestly don't know anymore. So much of the stuff that he does these days makes me cringe, but he still has his moments that are worthwhile, such as his footage shredding at the Berrics.

O photo.

Mike Youssefpour #2.



I always get requests for Mike. Along with Mike Prosenko and Ross Goodman, he was one of the next wave of vert pros for Santa Cruz. Rob Roskopp wasn't going to be around forever.

Bo Ikeda.



Bo rode for Hosoi and then a revamped version of Vision in the early 1990s before switching to Acme. He skated both street and ramps well back then and I bet he is still riding today.

Cesario "Block" Montano took the photo.
