I was looking through some old magazines recently and found this snippet for ‘85. It’s the reader’s poll from Freestylin’ Magazine. This mag covered freestyle bmx, which was a lot of flatground endo’s and jumping around and bar spinning. It was a cool mag and kind of picked up after BMX Action. I remember looking longingly at the adverts for Redline Flight Cranks and Racing Inc. aluminum frame sets. Well, from the looks of the top 10 results here, ‘85 was pretty boss.

Reader’s Poll…1985
Thursday, June 26th, 2008Volcom Shirt : Skate Taco : In Stores NOW!
Monday, June 9th, 2008
So this is a shirt I drew for Volcom a while back, and it’s finally hitting the stores. It’s called Skate Taco, and, well, it’s kind of self explanatory. I’m sure you can buy one at the Volcom store on La Brea in LA or at another fine retailer near you.

I finished a painting based on the study I did previously (below). It’s acrylic and ink on Arches watercolor paper, 22.5″ x 30″.
I hung out with my friend John from Dita today. We had breakfast at Cayenne Cafe on Beverly. They have delicious banana pancakes. We drove around Hollywood for a bit in John’s restored ‘67 Malibu and stopped by the Barracuda store on Melrose where John introduced me to the owner, Miguel. It’s a cool store, you should check it out. Anyway, the drawing I have posted today doesn’t really have anything to do with what I did today, but I like it and I wanted to share it. The quote is actually something George Bush said about the war.
