i bet that was magic, haha
i actually had moved to australia around 88 and while i was gone hammer, sir mix a lot and vannalla ice all blew up. i was out there skating for a year or so doing the same old thing listening to DK, ST, the hardons, etc... and was completely isolated from all that shit. then when i got back too the states it was like everything had gone to the shits here. first thing i saw on US tv was new kids on the block "hanging tough" video and then when i got back to my home town most of the guys i skated with had quit and were into hammer dancing and wearing rediculous pants with crotchs that were literally at the ankles. thus began a long life of skating solo.
