man... just got through reading this thread. I remember the SMA of the late 80's. Natas, Thiebaud, Reyes and then Stranger was am, then Alan Peterson. I was too young to know the significance of the syringe board. I thought it was just a play on the doctors office shit... vaccines, allergy shots etc. Not heroin or other harsh injection drugs.
Those Speed Wheels videos were amazing. Lots of crap filler in there but there were lots of tidbits that were nice. Love the way Julien carves around. Super loose truck style. Nobody makes it look better. Super casual.
Peep Julien's ads and interviews at the three 90's skateboard era blogs.
