leedog smashed it..
kelly bird question still up for grabs...to anyone except darren.
Good luck.

Board sponsor and sequence that is.

Kelly Bird - New School?

Leedog...killing it.
Seq?

I have no idea on the sequence. I'll hazard a guess that it was some kind of pressure flip/combo.

big spin out of a curb cut.

Easy one for a rainy Saturday morning. Name two pro skaters who's first name is Paul and second name starts with Z?

paul zitzer

paul zuanich

Too easy! In the 80's, we used put 'grip' on the bottom of our decks for grip doing grabs.

Santa Cruz had Rip Grip.

Alva skateboards had their own version.

What company produced it?

Who founded the company?

And what did his son contribute to skateboarding?

shit...those ugly bats and shit...what was it called????

It was a really ground breaking name...
Alva Finger Grip - made by Astrodeck, which started out producing deck pads for surfboards. Herbie Fletcher started the company.

Not sure what either Christian or Nathan Fletcher have contributed TO skateboarding, more so what Christian took from his skating applied it to surfing... boosting airs.

Yup Davo, and die cut Trucker girls...

Well done Leedog. And yup Christian was a pioneer of 'aerial surf' maneuvers based on skateboarding tricks. Contribution? maybe a new found respect for skateboarders from the surfing community.

Ok on a similar theme. What was a 'slug' and what company produced it? (That last question wasn't obscure enough).

Nice one Chris. I saw Simon Woodstock did the write up on Cardiel. Simon had a Sonic ad with the slogan 'on target', what was the trick and what type of board was he riding?

kick flip on an archery target

ollie blunt. dart board.?

I think it was an ollie to fakie out of a ditch or a bowl, with an arrow being shot into the archery target come skateboard.

There's got to be another Woodstock question in this, anyone?

"I think it was an ollie to fakie out of a ditch or a bowl, with an arrow being shot into the archery target come skateboard."

was also re-run in the thrasher book from memory

Have we done the boxing clowns question yet?

Woodstock vs...

mike muir?

My first ever board. Top left: Craig Johnson El Loco Gringo, with Alva Finger Grip.

A.W.A. skates - never really got into them

AWA skates...I used to think they same thing

Love Eddies pajamas's!

Mike Muir was correct! Who won, and who was the original contender?
