Dan tests his luck with a lien to tail on the top shelf. I only had one set of Lucky bearings. I think they were fine, although if I recall correctly, everybody else had problems with them. That's usually how it goes for most products and me. You kind of forget how much coverage many of the pros got back in the glory days of print media. Everybody remembers the classic photos, but then there are plenty of ads for secondary sponsors that are buried in the back pages of the mags.

That and people would (if I remember correctly) get a wave of ads after an interview...for some reason Frank Hirata comes to mind for being in a lot of ads after a Transworld write-up.
Lucky Bearings story: I was working in a Bay Area skateshop in the late 90s early 2000s and a well known pro who was sponsored by Lucky Bearings comes in a buys a set of Bones Swiss. I mentioned, "Aren't you pro for Lucky?" and he gave me a smile and said I was naive. I've been riding Bones Swiss from then to this day.
That's hilarious.
