Aw yea. I think I have my shoegooed pair in green and grey in my trunk.

[cheep]

gotta say, its about time we had some skate talk on here... especially since most of the people contributing have been on this site since 05 or 06

[n0torious]

I'm a slap pal...and I knew that you skated but I guess it didn't occur to me how many people were like me and got a lot of their influences from 90s skate culture. We should get a classic photothread going!

[cheep]

yeah... i started a thread "90s eastcoast skateboardng saved my life" and it died very quick...

but really, all this "streetwear" shit, at least in the vein of 78, milspex, and the like, IS 90s skate style, just with better materials.

^^throw some pinrolls and it "oozes OG knowledge for anyone who was into streetwear before 2000" hahaha

i do think a 90s skate thread would be a great idea... its a time and culture that can

never be replicated, and honestly, informs my ideas of so many things in my life.

The OG DC logo.

Circa 1995?

I remember how simple Danny Way and Colin McKay's first pro-model shoes were back then. Quite different than what DC became.

[cheep]

yep... from that blog... hes wearing the 95 rudys there too!

its sad to see how far they fell off... until howard and carrol left dc was one of the best... after 00 they were shit.

[n0torious]

So true. And the hindsight of it has really allowed me to see the arc of it all. Early 90s, the big pants tiny wheels, to the technical 4star/dc/es era, to the tight pants, big rails era that zero brought on and baker cemented in the last days. you can see kids everywhere biting one era or another and they have no clue.

I stole that from my school library. Still my favorite mag cover ever.

[cheep]

ahhh... penny...

that mag is in the magazine rack at my friends bar.

[littlebigman]

i saw a clip recently of penny doing a backside 180 to fakie manual fakie 360 flip of a decent drop. i was kind of impressed. the ellington footage on the berrics made me "wow" too. makes me want to brush up on maunal stuff.

[n0torious]

I really wish he didn't blow 5 years smoking weed in france, but he still has the buttery style.

[cheep]

i dont know about now... but when he first came over here... holy shit

i dont think anyone has had the impact of penny... he forced everyone to land everything clean, and then do it switch.

[doctorgnar]

I love the Penny and Rowley mini ramp stuff in that Volcom video from a couple years ago. He still kills it.

[n0torious]

It's true. The only person I can think of that had a comparable footprint would be Jamie Thomas making everyone jump down handrails.

I think I'm gonna go home and watch Tom murder that chain to bank in Uno.

[cheep]

you know... i still think this style looks good. i need to get some bigger ts and jeans so i can switch it up and rock shit like this again.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw this clip - kid's got some decent Penny steeze.

I kept all my old XL sized 4star/girl/alphanumeric/etc. gear and I'll pull it out now and then for a change of pace. I don't have a pair of baggy jeans I'm happy with though, but I do have some baggy cords.

That video has some good parts in it. Well, not by today's standards I guess.

Still gets me stoked to skate though.

[littlebigman]

could just be nostalgia but the videos from my teens always make me more amped to skate than the new stuff.

A little too much vert footage but I still love it. I've been getting a ton of use out of the World Boxset, Trilogy in particular. I'll watch Kasper's part just to laugh at the benihanas.

[corned beef]

ethan had the sickest style back in his stereo days.

[n0torious]

Remember that interview where he's talking about taking crystal meth and skating? Gnarly.

He's getting the next Epicly Later'd episode I'm told.

[cheep]

^^true

ive been watching the first chocolate vid lately... soo good

[w_y]

I'd grind the shit out of this laser etched skateboard, but it sure is beautiful to look at for that first run:

[n0torious]

Oh shit...that Bobshirt guy is selling some 101 tribute shirts. I need me one of those.

[corned beef]

78's already got one, kinda jealous.

[cheep]

i emaild him today about it

[n0torious]

K, I did too. I'll be pissed if I miss out.

seriously, Goldfish too...those are like my go-to vids these days.

Carroll's bonus part on the Goldfish dvd w/all the outtake footage...anyone else love this? so epic w/that 'brotherly love' tune and everything too.

holler at some Gap jeans what
