looking for info on an old company Molotov
« on: May 22, 2007, 03:55:16 PM »
Since we have people here all ages and from all over I thought I would post this up.I am looking for info on a small company from the early 90's called Molotov.
Were talking 90 or 91 from Minnesota. Had some ads in Poweredge if you remember that. Product patrol Feb 90 Thrasher. Im looking for info on the company, its riders, decks. Anything you have im interested in.
I have posted this on a few forums so if you have seen it before sorry. Dont want to look like a spammer.

I remember that company. Jahmal Williams skated for them for a quick minute. Good boards from what I remember. Sorry I can't help with any photos or ads or anything, all I have left are memories.

Danny Jensen skated for them and had an ad doing a b/s ollie down some big set back in the day.  He's still killing it today.  I saw the owners (Andy) brother at a shop about a year back.  I remember hearing that Rocco was trying to buy them and Small Room back in the day.

No man I am hurt and not skating so I have just been surfin the web looking at skate stuff. I came across some stuff about the company and I really liked the stuff I saw. So I got nothin else to do so I just started diggin stuff up. Im like a little kid, I find some info and then I want to find more.
So now I got an email back from Andy and I can now ask him a bunch of questions. Molotov is still around doing custom stuff.
I doubt Andy has product still sitting around so if any of you guys got any old Molotov decks sittin in your parents attic hit me up.

I have all those mags. It would take forever to fish them out. I knew I should have filed the Poweredges separately.

That's more esoteric than finding Victor (VIC?) Novattipolae ads.

Yeah, they were from Minnesota, I think, and Jahmal Williams skated for them.

I saw a couple of his decks on ebay awhile ago. I never heard of the guy before. I guess he is the Vic from the Airwalk Vics. I loved those shoes.
I buy mags every now and then to check out the old stories. I havent bought any Poweredge though so I guess I will pic up a couple. Its a blast looking through those old mags.
