Acme.

Roughly twelve years ago, I was friends with this guy named Rich. He was a college student from Hawaii. Since there were a couple of other dudes named Rich, he obtained the nickname Hawaiian Rich. He used to skateboard, but I believe he hurt his knee and had to stop. He would still roll around a little. We would always wind up talking about skateboarding out at the bar. Hawaiian Rich was impressed that I knew who Robbie Gaskell was. He was friends with Robbie and skated with him all the time back in Hawaii.

It will be 1993 on Monday.

Chris Fissell.

Tricky footed New Deal amateur and then Mad Circle pro. Poor guy probably catches a lot of crap for doing all sorts of pressure and late flips. I remember liking his part in 1281 for the innovation.

Willy Santos & Brian Howard.

The last days of G & S.

Thrasher posted Willy's part from Feasters the other day. I sort of forgot how amazing he was back then. Every trick is done moving fast and the landings are all solid with feet on the bolts. Willy made those sketchy pressure flip days look good.

Brian went on to better things at Planet Earth.

Willy's homie John took his picture while Grant Brittain took Brian's photo.

Jason Corbett.

Jason is from Canada and rode for New School. He might have done the Barley grind before Donny Barley did. He does one on a ledge in a skatepark in the New School video from 1993.

I'm scanning new stuff tonight to fill the week out and then I'm going to figure out what I want to do for the next few weeks. It will probably be 1993 related things.

Joe "Xeno" Lloyd took the picture.

Spitfire #7.

By my extremely scientific calculations of flipping through old Thrashers until Spitfire used it in an ad, this was the first appearance of the flame head logo.

Rob "Sluggo" Boyce.

So stoked on the noseslide photo.

Sluggo was an am for G & S, turned pro in the early days of Real and then spent most of the 1990s on World Industries. He was the fourth pro for Real after Tommy Guerrero, Jim Thiebaud and Henry Sanchez, although Sanch wasn't with the company very long.

That's a TV shirt he is wearing. The drawing was also used for a 'zine Ed Templeton and Mike Vallely did.

Bryce Kanights was the photographer.

Steve Robert.

A little Black Label silliness for April Fool's Day.

Chris Ortiz took the photo.
