I got 17/20 and I'm not proud of it

[JB]

17/20 too. i got 2, 6 and 13 wrong.

it drove me crazy that they kept switching up the 90's and Now buttons.

[Grind King Rims]

I also got 17/20. I got caught out by the dude on the bench, the crew with the shifty ollie and the two guys facing opposite directions.

Missed that one too. The Polo shirt threw me off

15/20 90s dickrider. i should've gotten 16 but the buttons changed. only really surprising one i got wrong, the 3 gentlemen in various stages of powerslide, shifty and ride i thought was a modern homage to welcome to hell.

That shit got me too. All the ones I missed where people in vans of indeterminable age.

the setups looked older, it was the style of photo that threw me. The wallie was never such a hot "lifestyle" commodity back in the day.

[Jordick]

19/20, motherfucker doing a crook on a curb had me convinced it was nowadays with his dumb shoes

[Iceman]

got 18 out of 20 and they called me a masturbator. fuck you jenkem!

[happenstance]

17/20

Missed these:


It's 90s. I guessed now.



It's 90s. I guessed now.



It's now. I guessed 90s.

In hindsight, should have gotten these.

[Iceman]

^^ yeah if you were into the og zoo/supreme crews the first two pics you posted were of gio estevez & peter bici. joey alvarez, jeff pang, frank natiello, and justin pierce were up in that quiz too. shit. i should have gotten 20/20

[Baron Samedi]

I said fuck it three questions in and just pressed the top button for the rest of them. Got 15/20, finally my SAT strategy worked for something

[nylin]

20/20 Straight up nerd. LOL

[snowman600]

19/20. stupid fake 90s girls fooled me.

[chilllyboy]

^^^ Almost picked 90s for that, but it seemed like they were trying too hard, like they were all wearing costumes. Didn't seem genuine. Also that one chicks hurley shirt gave it away.


18/20. Most can be reasoned by looking at wheels (big vs. small), cars, or boardshape. That Kurt Cobain looking kid wrecked me though. I spent 10 minutes staring at that one.

Looked like Jeff Pang was skating a zip zinger or something.....it confused me....

[close]

Did people even wear gauges* in the 90s? I guessed this one right because of the "earring".

*Not the right name but be my fucking guest if you know the proper word

I got 18 out of 20. Most of them were pretty easy If you just paid close attention to detail (wheel shape and size, the shoes they were wearing, how the truck hangars looked, what kind of clothes they were wearing, etc). Only ones I got wrong was the dude who looks like a young Obama sitting on the bench (the wheels and the flatness/shape of thst board were a dead giveaway of a possible 90s pic but the shirt and dickies plus the vans made me think it could've been more recent. It could've been either/or for me with that pic so I guessed it was a more recent pic and guessed wrong) and the picture of the group of girls, the same one that snowman600 posted (I didn't really observe that pic too well. I just took a quick glimpse and just automatically assumed it was the 90s. It looks like a picture you would've seen in a old math textbook or something. I should've paid closer attention to the details hah). All in all a pretty fun quiz.

[shit_for_brains]

The ones with the girls were easy because none of them were Jamie Reyes so it couldn't have been from the 90s. There were only four female skaters back then.

14/20
shoes gave it away in most of them (i.e. no one in NY in the 90s was wearing flimsy little cons)

[chilllyboy]

No one seems to have the same trouble I had with this one. Was it just obvious to everyone. I just don't get how I was supposed to know this was 90s.

That shot with pang and todd jordan I believe was right after 9/11/2001.

[Chavo]

14/20

I agree that Pang shot was confusing. Is 2001 considered now or 90s. It's neither.

Also, that backside boneless mini looked '90 or '91.

[Madam, I'm Adam]

18/20, girl with the earring fooled me too, so did man with the cuffed pants sitting on the bench.

I didn't skate in the 90's, so that definitely makes me more of a nerd...or enthusiast.

[Level 60 Dwarf Paladin]

Button switch cost me a perfect score. 19/20.

[somethingmustbreaknow]

16/20, i'm a pleb.

[clicketyclack]

19/20, motherfucker doing a crook on a curb had me convinced it was nowadays with his dumb shoes

Ditto on that. That and the resurgence of curb hype.

[Alan]

Fucked up the varial flip down stairs (could've been straight out of Photograffiti) and the tailgrab. The girls were easy to guess since ironic 80s frames weren't in back then...
