i was a victim of
the d3 craze. i had a pair in black w/ red lining.
big puffy shoe´s in general. the willy santos vans model was my favorite. i think he had a few.
beanies all year.
cargo shorts.
camo pants with big pockets.
beer city blanks & wheels.
sxe band stickers on all my boards. Ten Yard Fight anybody?
wore a hook ups & an american zero shirt with no shame. kill me now.
illusion flips. frontside flips with no flip in ém.
then the surplus penny footage & cliche europa came out and i had t-shirts wrapped around my head.
