O.D.G.

What's the hold up?? a. My laptop had over 90 malware/adware entries on it. b. I've been too busy skating and having fun. c. I've been mourning the death of The Chrome Ball Incident d. Too lazy. e. Moved magazines to the garage and therefore had to get a new scanner. f. All of the above. g. None of the above. You decide (bonus points if you get this reference). After giving it some thought I'm going to pull the plug on these Evolution of the Skate Shoe series posts. It's a great idea, I just don't think that I have enough  magazines/ads to do it justice. So, instead of doing the 10 posts I had originally planned on, I'm going to combine everything into a few more remaining posts and then continue on with the other ideas I've been sitting on for a while. So, here is Evolution of the Skate Shoe post #5 focusing on D.C. shoes, with 2 more to go.. Colin McKay....hope we see a part in the new Plan B video.  Danny ...

First time I'd ever heard of the term "stigmata". You can learn a lot from skateboarding..  Blind-era Jason Lee kickflip with a TG cameo.. Gotta' love the 90's.. no name of the skater, company or what the trick is. Seems like skateboarding has been just trying to catch up to Guy forever.. handrail nosegrind in..'91?  I have no idea if this is a Blind ad or not but it was too funny to leave out.. Classic Rudy Johnson..Love the Marc Johnson tribute board too..    Random Jordan Richter shot..check out those bolts!! 

This post started off with an idea to put up the 101 ad with Gabriel...then realized that it's hard to mention him without also mentioning Guy, Rudy, and Paulo. Love these videos by Jacob43, aka Jake Rosenberg. Especially considering that they were filmed in my old stomping grounds in Santa Barbara. Frankie Hill cameo.. This one's a little old but nevertheless an amazing display of raw talent by Rudy Johnson.. ..more Wrench Pilot 'toons coming next. Promise!

What's good people? Just a few oldies. Thought I would switch it up as I have been mostly just putting videos from youtube up on here lately. This is from a Powell-Peralta ad (before they became just Powell), from December 1989. What was crazy about these dudes is just how advanced they were. But they got the credit they deserved on Powell. They didn't even spell Paulo's name right!
