“Huf? Isn’t That a Sneaker Store?”

April 30th, 2008 | 3:21 am | Time Capsule | 12 Comments

Since things like Police Informer continue to grow in popularity for those of us accustomed to a time when skateboarding was much simpler, devoid of sixteen year olds doing fakie front crook 360 flip outs, I figured I would join in on the party. So here is Huf’s Pro Spotlight from Transworld back in 1998, when east coast skateboarding still kind of mattered to people.

You can find kickflips, 180s, and ollies in..

Real’s Non-Fiction (1995)

Real’s Real to Reel (2002)

FTC’s Penal Code 100A (1996)

P.S. If you had not already noticed.. I added this “Recent Comments” thing underneath Iron Mike’s head to the right of the posts, where you can stay up to date with all the very intelligent discussions that go on here at Quarter Snacks regarding french literature, foreign films, classical music, politics, existentialism, and Black Dave.

Manhattan: Modern Playground

March 3rd, 2008 | 1:53 am | Time Capsule | 15 Comments

This Manhattan article for the July 1998 issue of Transworld has always been a favorite of mine for pretty obvious reasons. New York is pretty much the only city on the face of the earth that could get almost twenty pages in Transworld with four photos of 5050s. Surprisingly, there is a significant lack of the other two tricks we here in New York are good at — 180s and front shoves, but Reda’s wallride more than makes up for it. A stunning amount of these spots still actually exist. There are about two pages missing. Thanks to Jimmy Marketti for the scans.

We are currently unable to confirm that Thando is in fact off the Quarter Snacks roster, Matt Mooney’s press agents seem to not have their facts straight.

By the way, history was made on Broadway last night. If you saw it, I’m sure you’re equally speechless.

Ryan Hickey – Back Tail @ Time-Life – Sometime in the 90s

I haven’t posted some old photos in a while, and it’s cold as hell out, so this is a particularly appropriate way to update for the time being, or at least until the highs begin to be above 40 degrees again.
