Poweredge Magazine May 1989...

This cover of Poweredge from May 1989 is one of my favorites. I've never heard anybody mention it before but this cover photo was from January 1989 when he still rode for Powell Peralta. But when this issue came out he had already started riding for World Industries and got a new wheel sponsor, Santa Cruz, and rode OJ II Teamriders.

A lot of people relate this photo to the Speed Freaks video because it was taken at the same place he skates in it. I don't know what Airwalk had to say about it but he was definitely wearing Chuck Taylor's in the video. You have to dig the Morrissey shirt.

This Powell Peralta Ad Changed Everything...

This Powell ad made everyone run out and buy paint markers if you didn't have them already. Me and my friends were overcome by art once we saw this. This was also the start of the short lived phase of putting your front trucks on with the front bolts nut side up.

This was another Powell ad with griptape art on it. Cab has his mounting bolts on nut side up this time.

New Leibensraum Bus Elitism...

These seat hogging elitists are totally right. Why should anyone else sit on a bus whey they can have a luxurious extra seat to put their stupid purse on.

Al Ward's Garage; 5711 Columbia Pike...

Al Ward's Garage wasn't too far from my house and as kids we used to sneak in through the woods in the back. We called it going on "adventures". There was a pretty huge salvage and junk yard in the rear of the lot. We just liked looking at the old wrecks from the 1930's and 40's. It was still there in 1991, but I'm not sure when it was torn down. There's a Kentucky Fried Chicken there now.

Channaher has some amazing NOVA/DC photos from over the years here:

The Broiler, 1965 and present...

Azar Atura grew up in the Bronx then moved to Arlington twice; once in 1954 then again in 1961. Pictured above is her sister in 1965 when the Broiler was still a Gulf gas station.

She's got some pretty amazing photos of 1960's Arlington on her website:

Bones Brigade Summer Tour Stickers...

The Bones Brigade Summer Tour Stickers for '87 had a xerox style image of my main man Tommy Guerrero on it. I remember idiots saying it was Mike McGill (sorry McGill, you were rad, we all had your board, but we never saw you do one footed mute airs). Well here's your proof: TG photos are hard to come by from the launch ramp era, but check it out... Also of note, Powell used the same sticker with a few changes for the Australian Tour in 1989.
