My memory is fucked so entirely possible my timeline is off but I’m getting visions of
Axions or Circas with weed pockets, Shortys and Muska, using deodorant to wax picnic tables, flameboy and wet willy, Tony Hawk with a bull-fighting cape on, Reynolds drinking with orangutans, classic Transworld videos, ordering from CCS magazine, mailing dollars in envelopes for stickers, CKY Baker and Piss Drunx corrupting my young mind, getting 411VM VHS in the mail
A big difference between then and now is that we weren’t all so connected, so what we my and my lil homies were watching, how we were dressing and what pros we were obsessed with may be totally different than what was going on with other skaters. The internet didn’t matter nearly as much to skating. We read transworld and bought videos from the skate shop but other than that we were our own little bubble.
