"Here's the bucket that was used to bail the pool. Here's the pool. There's Brian Frostad. Brian Frostad Flakes. There he goes. Watch him grind. The pool's wet." - Sam Cunningham
Brian is from Danville, California. He was sponsored by Blockhead and had the opening part in Splendid Eye Torture. He had a shared part with Sam where they skated some pools, too. Brian had a solid mix of street tricks, including handrails, long slappys, a cleanly caught kickflip, and some carve action at the China Banks. This ditch wall ride was in his section, but he was wearing different clothes in the video. He also rode for Thunder Trucks.
Bryce Kanights was the photographer.
This is from the 1990 Thrasher calendar.

Even with the holiday, Vert Is Dead will operate on the normal weekly schedule for December 24th through the 28th.
I initially intended to write a little more about Blockhead, but I never really got anything together. I figure I've sort of covered what I like about the company over the years already. Same for SMA. I'd still like to put together a longer essay about them and how their stuff holds up better than a bunch of 80s/90s stuff that has been worn out by constant rehashing.
It's funny how, in 1990, you could ride for Blockhead and Thunder. The only skater I can think of who pulled something similar off in the '90s is Brian Young, who rode for Invisible and Spitfire.
