Skateboard History from UK Vintage Magazine

Vintage eighties skateboarding: Powell, Livingston, and Munster. Contents of a issue 67 of R.a.d Magazine, September 1988

I don’t have any disks containing text this old. They survived for another ten years, but were destroyed in the New Deal fire. So we’re mostly going to have to do with scans for this issue. I’m trying to use OCR to extract the text, but it’s very patchy.

I can’t get the credits out of this page, for example, which is a shame. One of the notable mentions there is Derek Westwood, who is credited as “Designer in Body”. Derek sat in during the transition period between the reigns of Nick Philip and Ian Lawson. That’s not an easy thing to do. Derek never got the chance to experiment as freely as most of our designers.

The Steve Caballero Ollie Indy Footplant gets a reprise in sequential form. Not the exact same one obviously: Fuji 50 sequences in the dark of the South Bank? I think not.
