Jeremy Deglopper.

No pushing.

Jeremy is from San Diego, California. He rode for Tree Fort. His name came up recently because the Skate Park of Tampa posted his Wheels of Fortune from 411 #19 from 1996. The part has no pushing and only trick to trick editing.

Treefort was a brief mid 1990s company. Other team riders included Alfonso Rawls, Vinnie Ponte, Max Dufour, Jimmy Chadwick, and Danny Supa.

Tripper Dungan is having an art show at the Daniel Rolnik Gallery in Pasadena, California. The show is entitled "Strangecation" and addresses the theme of wanderlust. Dungan has created a vibrant series of paintings of primarily inanimate objects like radios, vegetables, and guitars doing stuff such as walking and riding skateboards. The opening is on July 9 so if you need to check out some art on that day and live in the area, you are all set. I included a link in the comments for more information.

The design is by Dave Kinsey. The photography is by Atiba Jefferson and J. Senesy.

Keenan Milton #9.

Devious.

Keenan was from Harlem, NY. He grew up skateboarding with Keith Hufnagel, Gino Iannucci, and a whole lot of the NYC crew from the early 1990s. Ron Allen sponsored him on the short lived Fun Skateboards. Keenan would later go on to ride for Blind and Chocolate. He did some of the smoothest switch technical street skateboarding ever. Sadly, Keenan passed away fifteen years ago this summer. Bunny hop, son.

Chad Muska #6.

Yellow squares.

It's the Muska. What else do you need to say?

It's interesting how in the mid 1990s California Skate Express was running ads for Sole Tech in addition to what the company was doing on its own.

Moses Itkonen #3.

We can work it out.

Joosef "Moses" Itkonen is from Vancouver, British Columbia. He was sponsored by Real prior to riding for Mad Circle. He would later ride for Platinum and Powell. Moses got free shoes from DC and Duffs. Of note is that he had input in designing a synthetic shoe for DC in the mid 1990s. Moses is vegan and DC made a sneaker that agreed with his lifestyle. He skates street and ramps very well.

The new issue of the Skateboard Mag is pretty good. It's still a little short on the words, but I'll read blurbs about the exact setup other skateboarders ride all day. They even featured a couple of women in the look at the new wave of skaters. Plus there's a picture of Jeremy Klein doing an ollie over a shopping cart.

Karl Watson #2.

Public Image Limited.

Karl is from San Francisco, California. He rode for Think and Profile back in the glory days of EMB before switching to Mad Circle. After the Circle closed, Karl was on Expedition One and started his own section of the company called Organika. He's the champ of doing smooth manual and switch tricks to odd reverts out with a smile on his face. His part in LRG's "Give Me My Money Chico" video from 2010 is cool.

Go Skateboarding Day? More like a handful of moping teens on BMX bikes at the skatepark. I guess all the shredding went down before I got my tired ass to the park later in the evening.

Mike Blabac took the picture.
