Hope this works... attached is a Girl Skateboards ad from 95. It has everyone on the team (except Richard Mulder (he was at Chaffey) and Keenan) lined up at Lockwood or another schoolyard in Cali. A month or so after that Girl, Chocolate, and the FIRM went on a tour (it was in one of the early 411s). Lucky for me, one of the stops was not that far away at all. It was a skateshop in North Brunswick, NJ.
I may be wrong, but I think the demo came just before Mouse came out. I honestly had no idea who Guy Mariano was. I was fanning out over Carroll. I didn't know much about who was who in skateboarding at the time, all I knew was that Questionable, Virtual Reality, and Goldfish told me that Carroll was the dude. Anyways, Guy and Keenan were just the most amazing dudes skating that day. There was this super sketchy flat ramp that was not even a board length wide. I didn't even see Guy warm up, and he did a switch hardflip to fakie all the way at the top of this thing, Next try he did it again with a videographer, and then again with a photographer. Then he sat down and didn't skate for the rest of the day. There was no question he didn't want to be there, that was kinda obvious on the face of the whole team (chocolate tour intro was at least somewhat inspired by this stop, it HAD to be).
Keenan just did every trick possible over a hay bail. Nollie inward heel, back then, over a hay bail. Bonkers.
Rick got all fucked up warming up with a front rock on a sketchy quarter, he fell and a screw that was sticking out ripped part of his leg up. I was right there when it happend, and I remember asking him if he was okay, and he just looked at me and said, "This ramp is fucking bullshit". It was pretty funny, at the time, and even now thinking about it.
I digress...
I just moved, and was going through things. I thought it would be nice to hang this up on my wall. I was about to hammer the nail in, and I thought of you guys. Thought maybe you'd get a kick out of this. So, here it is. Enjoy. I personally only got Guy's signature. The rest one of my buddy's younger brother was on 'annoy the pro' detail.... He had a stack of this ad and was getting everyone to sign it. At the time, I was kinda embarrassed for myself, the kid, and all of the team. But, looking back, it's okay. I get to hang this on my wall. It's a snapshot of the era, and I love it.
