Same here. When I was younger and all my friends idolized xyz pro skater I always thought I’d rather have Atiba’s life ha. Mike Blabac was one of my favorite photographers too. The golden age of skateboarding!

let’s play: guess my nostr banner! 😎

Fun story, my sister went to college in Philly so I spent 4 years of my life skating love park during its peak in those years. One day I rolled up and saw Kerry and Bam skating that bump to trash can I ended up being one of those kids in the background while they were filming 🎥 …never did see the footage in any videos after that tho…

sick.🔥

I bought these recently and my 40+ year old brain can’t compute how people skated in them back then 🤯😂

Dude would give major props if I bumped into you in the streets rocking these 😂
