Yahbrain's completely obscure skate trivia thread

Have you got that original Toy ad, down with the Dorf?

Thought of another question...

There is a certain skater who the first legit pic they ever had run in a mag was the cover of Thrasher - who was it?

BM

That wasn't who I was thinking of BNE, but as a fellow skate nerd I will definitely take your word for it.

Such a sick Ibaseta shot too!

The person I am thinking of is much more recent, and although he is not from SF, the spot where the cover was shot is.

You got it Leedog! What a first photo to have run.

he does look pretty happy with it

That he does.

Almost looks as if he's thinking "Fuck Yeah! Thrasher all up in this shit!"

Got a good one for today...

Which pro skater was tricked into believing they were on Baker only to find out they had been the victim of prank callers?

chad fernandez?

Fuck I should know this

Nah not Chud, they guy had a sponsor in common with him though.

Someone who rides for Independent?

"had" might be the clue here
im thinking globe or world industries types but nobody with enough of a baker image that would believe the call comes to mind.

ryan sheckler?

Didn't share a truck or deck sponno with Chud, something else.

As usual, off topic... but... I don't know the answer to this, I remember seeing it but is perplexing me to the point of insanity because I can't remember...

Who in the 1990's had a pro deck with a UNO (card game) graphic? Company and rider please if anyone can help out on this one?

t bone ..

osiris..
you'd have a vault of obscure skate trivia questions AHA. get involved. don't know about the uno one tho.

When all the Girl riders split from World to start their own gig, Rocco responded by starting a company with graphics taking the piss out of the Girl riders...what was the name of the company? (easy enough I think.)Also name the apparent owner of said company and at least two pro riders.
A nice laid back one for this fine saturday morning.

bitch skateboards and the owner was sal rocco.

I can answer 2 of 3 parts of Davo's question that I remember from an old Big Brother mag. The name of the company was Bitch and was started by Sal Rocco Jr.
Logo was a male symbol holding a gun to the head of the "girl" logo.
No idea on the riders though

Aha..Uno board, NFI.

Didmt Sal sell it off after a few months though?

Yes he did, to the Japanese Dist, who then made millions off it. That stuff was everywhere here...

yeah and he made all the boards to take the piss out of the girl team. They all had penises on them the koston one had him as a puppet the rick howard one had a nappy on cause he was a cry baby, the tim gavin one had a little weeny cause he was asian. i dont think they ever had any real riders?!?
