the Brevoort brothers and I decided to make a small skateboard/freestyle BMX t-shirt company.
We made T-shirts.
Okay we made 12 T-shirts, and rode a lot.
Pretending we were a company gave us excuses to make videos.
We made videos and had huge video premire parties while my parents were away.
2ft high 1/2 pipe in the basement.living room packed with dirty skaters for the video show. Here Mike, Joe and I try to not kill ourselves in our 1991 opus "let it ride" . Here's my run from 1990's "useless footage".
Thanks to Mike for putting these up. I feel really old now.
as a side note, I fell off my skateboard trying to go to the mailbox today.
btw did you see Super Chunk's boo boo.
poor kid. in for a world of hurt. Just like Uncle Faticus.
respect

nice ollie, you had some skilz.
Mad skilz. The kids around here seem to specialize in not actually landing anything.
But just how old were you then? Looked a little older than High School.
........so! You were skinny at one point!
What happened?
i forgot how smooth you were. took me back a few years. the well sessioned spots. thanks to mike for taking the time to post those. - semper ubi sub ubi
