1990

So i went through some of my old mags last night and stumbled across this gem. Va beach gettin some shine in the early 90's. That was the old Trashmore skate park. When it was just 1 vert ramp, 1 mini half, and the snake bowls. Shit was real. I think i tried to drop in on that monster once. Never again. I think the only other "park" was Redwing. That was just one huge ass vert ramp. Nothing else. I remember just having sessions at K-mart or Farm Fresh like 20 deep, with just a waxed ass curb & part of the sidewalk you could just manual. Again, shit was real. When skating wasn't cool, when everyone tried to imitate Hensley with that tongue poking out the cheek thing, when Flipside was the coolest shop in town, when Windsor Woods cats got the sporks branded on them, when Pulaski and EMB were like the mecca for us. Good times.



Anyone remember these? Your my friend if you do. Before half-cabs , when people used to cut them down and duct tape them mamma jammas. Or stuff their shoes with socks or extra tongues. Everyone wanted some Prototypes. I liked the multi-colored ones. Or the Airwalks with the lace protector!!!! TIGHT. Going thru those mags got me reminiscing. That was fun. Today is Go Skateboarding Day. Go skate, or at least look like you do. Peace.
