Got the time.
TIMZ Skateboards was a company out of Las Vegas, Nevada. It makes sense that they sponsored locals Otis Christian and Mike Chu. Former G & S pro Danny Webster also wound up on the squad. I don't really know much about TIMZ beyond these couple of ads from the back of Poweredge. I think Otis later rode for G & S. He had a part in A1 Meat's Dancing in the Dirt video. Mike would turn pro for New School in the 1990s.
Vert Is Dead will be back on Monday, April 21st.
I'm taking a spring break before the countdown to the 4,000th post. I know roughly what skaters I'm going to use. I want to take some extra time to get everything in order.
The weather has been cold and rainy for the week. I've gotten in a little skateboarding, but it wasn't great. I figured out my shoes are done so I have to start breaking in a new pair. I didn't really land much of anything on Wednesday so that's hanging over me. The weekend is maybe shaping up to be milder and dry.
Jeff Shapiro took the photo of Mike. The photo of Danny is credited to Bradley. I'm not sure on a full name.
