Clan and Backyard interest me most on this page — both original skater/biker owned outfits at the very heart of their scenes. Clan II in Dundee also gets a mention, which is good to see. Dundee has a remarkable place in Scotland’s skate history too, even though much of that was in the future at this point. Freestyle Ramps were pioneers in offering professional wooden ramps to councils at a time when most councils were reluctant to do anything for skating. All in all this is a typical page of adverts from the days before skate mags were juicy and thick with advertising.
