My neighbor said he was sponsored by shut at one point in time but I don’t believe it he doesn’t even skate

"The Shut office was just a tiny cement room with a desk and what was essentially a walk-in closet. That’s where they’d cut the boards, spray ‘em up and stencil them. After that, we’d hang them on coat hangers through the mounting holes to dry, so you always had wet boards hanging around everywhere. But that was pretty much it.

Sonic Youth also had a practice space in the same warehouse as our little Shut space. We’d always see them around back then, which was cool."

DIY. no cali nonsense.

As a west coast yoot in the late 80s, I fell in love w/ SHUT when they 1st hit: shit was so raw & street oriented.
Plus, as a graf kid, their graphics were hitting me right in the feelers.
That soft spot in my heart remains to this day.

I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me.  You think you got me?

@wane brady, I ran w/ Aerosol Syndicate (AS) & Inner City Bombers (ICB) on account of I was a little east bay kid.
We’re talking 80s & 90s here, for reference.
