Hi Chris: Justin Ashby has a lot to do with Pig City. He’s one of the key people in the Brighton skate world. I hope someone can help you with specific information about that particular deck.

On behalf of Lee Y (whose comment disappeared):

Eh – that’s me in the background on my bl*8dy rollerskates. Polluting the South Bank – I must get round to scanning more of my photographs. I know Edwin put some of mine into ‘Rollin Through the Decades’ – just need to fit it all in – great times!!!!

I get a real pang of nostalgie seeing the old hand drawn artwork on these old adverts, they look reallly crappy now, but back in the day it was just the norm.

Prior to the internet it was all we had, every advert that appeared offering a free catalogue I sent off for straight away (even faster if free stickers were a possibility). I used to spend hours poring over the gear I couldn’t afford to buy : )
