I grew up in New York and it was unacceptable to have a skateboard. I’d have to take the train up to Canarsie in Brooklyn and I’d put my board under the C train because we’d go through these areas where kids would steal your board and punk you out. In 1992, there were some brands but it was nothing like it is today- Keith Hufnagel
Funny how things change, now if you go to New York there are a bunch of skaters every other block
