Fred was the subject of a recent Bobshirt interview where he talked about Recs. He had happened upon some troubles and needed cash. At the time he was in the process of getting on DC Shoes and would have been fully on after six months. Recs team manager Bill Weiss offered him a nice monthly guarantee. Fred took the money and missed a chance to ride for DC. Recs went under after about a year.
It was cool to hear Fred talk about his part in Timecode, the Alien Workshop video from 1996. I always liked how raw it looked, which turns out was the result of whoever had a camera and was able to film at the moment doing the taping. When paired with the Black Sabbath song, it gives the part a good layer of East Coast grime.

I wonder if he's wearing DCs in this pic since you can't really see the shoes, looks like a Howard 2 colorway
He probably is wearing DCs. I don't know if they would be the Howard 2s. The ad I have for them was from July 1998, roughly the same time that this ran.
I actually owned a pair of Recs in late 98/early 99. If I recall, they skated great.
