Lil' Steven


I'm sure you all remember your first board, I know I do.  Well this photo, courtesy of C. Erwin Piper, tells the charming tales of my friend Steven on his 7th birthday at the local skateshop getting his first skateboard.  Doesn't he look adorable?  Unfortunately Mom & Dad made him wear the pads until about 8th grade.  Don't fret though, Lil' Steven still has that same twinkle in his eye and spring in his step to this day when he steps on a skateboard again.  God bless you, Lil' Steven. 

Keenan Milton

You Remember the Keenan Milton tribute in the Beginning of Yeah, Right? Well it starts off with a phone interview originally printed in the August 1993 Issue of Thrasher (#150).  Video and the interview below.




Although you should probably have these bookmarked already, here is some more Keenan Milton footage worth studying up on (mostly stolen from the good folks at Bobshirt).

Rock Ultra-supergods and shredsleds

Courtesy of an old Thrasher Mag comes a couple photos of some rock n' roll legends (according to Big Shoe) with their other axes.  First up is Dave Mustaine of Megadeth looking like a commercialized Wet Boy holding a Blind Gonz board from 1991.
Next is all around sweet dude, The Nuge being his usual awesome self clutching one of the best board graphics ever, so simple yet so good, the Blind Jordan Richter Safety Gear deck from 1993.
