All hail the style that was Jovontae Turner! Crazy collectable graphics, smooth style, then after Girl sprung into to action he took off as quick as he appeared in the Planet Earth video.

When we open our forums (maybe sooner than later due to others being down all the time) will you sign up? For those unaware our forums will be dedicated to collectors of the world/blind/101/plan b era of skateboarding history. Respond to this post with a reply, we are lazy and dont check our emails that often.

Well someone is about to pick up a nice little pay day. A NOS Adam Mcnatt Charlie and Friends 101 deck hit the ebay looking minty fresh!
Its been up for less than 24 hours and already nearly 1200. Its got 6 days to go so hold tight this one is going to be a pricey addition to someone’s collection! View item here
UPDATE: The item has ended, looks the seller got a offer they could not refuse.
Probably one of if not my favorite video of all time. A few extras added in, but never the less I can remember watching this video numerous times a day between sessions. No one could touch that Blind team: Guy, Henry, Tim, Brian, & Rudy. Henry’s part (not included in the above video but below) is something I think that sets him apart from everyone at the time.
I remember back in 1992/1993 if you called the world industries 800 number after hours sometimes you were lucky enough to make it into the phone ‘chat’ room where pros and ams in the skate park would be on the phone with callers, now granted 99.9% of the time they were either:
1. making fun of the people on the phone,
2. making fun of each other, or
3. speaking drunken gibberish
it was still good times.
Reason I bring this up is these fuct shorts remind me of a time a called in back in the winter of 1992. I remember because Tim Gavin was on the phone and all the other guys there found it hilarious that I made fun of what I then considered his “short shorts” from the Pack of Lies video. Looking back on the video now the shorts seem crazy long and baggy but at the time if you had more than 3 inches between your sock and bottom of your shorts, they were too short! With that said some vintage fuct shorts have hit ebay. Maybe they will bring you back some memories like they did for me.
Looks like the big wigs at World got a clue and will begin to issue re-issues of classic boards on the original shapes. 10.125″ x 31″ Coming 9-15-11! Pre-order over the phone at 1-800-647-5283 and you will not be billed until these ship! The few to leak out so far are as follows:
The Decks are as follows:
Randy Colvin
Chris “Dune” Pastras
