felem had their year end blow out the other day. old friends, new friends, cold beer, sake and some good ol' ripping went down. cheers to the crew. wish we were there. happy holidaze.
probably the BEST ditch in hawaii - stoker hill. a memorable session from 1988, featuring the "usual suspects" : block, gibo, oster, jeff anderson, holmes, klyne, moblow, gdog. i believe we were filming for jimmy'z and hawaiian moving company that day.
greetings from shinji and masa from hamans chop shop in japan. they: produce some excellent vintage bikes, old school skaters, friends of yoshi "the slasher" and are supporters of the RHPS.

the general checks in with his latest mission to salbaland. looks like a great time was had by all.
it was horrible back then, still is now. legendary hawaiian beer with a taste of moldy poi.
check the november 09 issue of skateboarder featuring lance on the cover. front side invert ON the ladder ?!?!?! that is one of the best covers ever. so look closer at the cover for you older guys, the skateboarder logo is the one they used in the 70's. i also dig lance's socks (skateboarder mag-old style) and late 70's spray fade on his rails. i was told this is at lance's house. future primitive.
here is an outtake from the photo shoot.
back in the early to mid 80's we only wore converse chuck taylors. but these were our other option: "WINOs." They gripped like rubber cement and looked cool when you went to the show later. oh yeah they were hella cheap. so here are 2 styles of the wino's you probably never saw before: the velcro top and the mid top. back then you were the MAN if you could find the mid tops. only 3 people i saw with these were: tommy g., roskopp and meekster. the irony today is all of the skate brands are copying this shoe and charging big $$$$ for them. get with it, winos are called winos because only winos wore these 3 dollar shooze,
The "Soshigayan" crew of Tokyo sends us their new logo. Look familiar?
the New Old news. The Venice Skate park opened earlier this month. the town of the dogs gets their own. designed by mess, lance, bart and crew, word has it that this park is fast and very good. bring the family down for a day of rolling. respects to the locals and a special dedication to "polar bear" - this park is named after the o.g. legend.
sorry for the delay, but we are back up now! been moving and working on new projects. so new winter stuff and new hats coming soon.
