Losi Grind.
Allen had a return to the spotlight after some injuries in the later 1980s. He had his own board company that was distributed by Airböurne called Allen Losi Skates. Allen invented a lot of tricks including the Losi grind, also known as a bag lady, which is shown in the top sequence. It's a trick that pops up every now and again on street and vert. Mike Smith said Al did some great Smith grinds, too.
The photos are by Mike Ballard and Anderson. I'm not sure on a full name for Anderson.

Rare to see Vans with that mini-Vans logo. Happy to be reminded of them.
I don't think I'd really seen the Vans with the logos on them. I was trying to figure out what was on the shoes since it isn't the greatest photo ever. I decided they weren't the flys Vans did for the Madrid fly paper griptape.
