Caine Gayle.



All hail Caine Gayle.

Caine was on Prime before changing to Plan B. He was on at the end of the company and would soon migrate over to Kareem Campbell's All City/City Stars. Caine was also on DC Shoes and Axion.

That wraps up a look back at mid 1990s Plan B. Due to there not being enough days in the week, Pat Chanita and Brian Emmers were the two riders who were left out. I'm going to do a month of random 1990s scans in January so I will include them then.

What's the over/under on a bigger riot for Pretty Sweet than for Bake & Destroy? But seriously, stay safe out there, kids.

Vert Is Dead will be back on November 26. I need a break.

Rick McCrank.



Pretty sweet.

Rick got his start as an am for a small Canadian company called Cherry Bombs. His first major sponsor was Plan B, but unfortunately this was at the end of things and he soon wound up on Birdhouse. He had the first part in The End. Rick filmed his tricks in about a week due to deadlines. From Birdhouse, he switched to Girl and has been there ever since. He runs a skateshop in Vancouver called Anti-Social.

Scott Serfas took the photos.
