I have no idea who ran this advert for skate rags. Someone in Cornwall, judging by the area code…

The people who brought in Skate Rags were the same folks that did Gotcha and Gul wetsuits. They had a factory out Bodmin way, I visited it once cos they sponsored a mini ramp series, although they may not have fully paid up all the sponsorship dough??

It was placed by Alder Sportswear ltd, we were the distributors and couldn’t get enough of the stuff. Would love to here from the original team, particularly Rex king, who allowed us to stay at his place!

Fascinating. I love it when the bits of the jigsaw fall into place like this. Thank you.

Hello, I am trying to get hold of a rad magazine that did a big article on High Wycombe. Early nineties I think. Please let me know if you can help or someone who could . Thanks John
