Rolling thru the streets.
PONY partnered with Rasa Libra for some custom kicks in 2009 and 2010. I never knew this, but PONY stands for Product of NY.
There's a little bit of a controversy around Matt's wallie photo. Brian Anderson did the same trick at the same spot before him, but Matt's photo ran first. Brian did a daytime wallie in a picture by Jon Humphries that was used for the cover of the May 2009 issue of The Skateboard Mag. This hit the newsstands a month after the Rasa Libre ad ran. I doubt this generated much, if any beef.
The kickflip photo is by Matt Price and the wallie photo is by Ken Goto.
