I was there too, 1987 to 1990. Brad hired me out of New York to consolidate and run his art departments for the various divisions. Not being a skate insider it was an eye opener! I still regard those years as the most incredibly rewarding of my career. Working with the talented artists and designers of Vision as well as the skaters themselves, we had an incredible output that included boards, shirts, ads, packaging, posters and even textile designs. I met some amazing people during those years, some of which I’m still in touch with. Many of them went on to start successful companies like Simple, Etnies, New Deal, Blind skateboards etc. It seemed like there was an unbelievable amount of talent in that one place and time. Brad picked the perfect name for his company because he certainly had a vision when it came to the company. The snowboarder Bert Lamar gave me my first haircut in California, I drove Mark Gonzales to check out a beater car he wanted to buy, did lots of photoshoots with the tragic Gator and learned how to curse in French from Pierre Andre. One of my all time favorite memories had to be the time our person in charge of product placement, Dana knocked on my door and walked in with all the members of Aerosmith. I could go on and on with stories but I’ll leave it at that and just say, to all my buddies from those Vision days, I hope you are all doing well. I think about you often. PS the number 401 can still freak me out (inside reference). – Russell

Blah, blah, blah..Yea, yea yea. 1988 my ass. Brad (B-Rad) goes back to 1980 and I know cuz I was there. In the little shop off Placncia in Costa Mesa and living on beach. Vision Sports. While waiting, and woking hard at bringing skateboarding back, (and Brad was the one who probably did), he was into skating and BMX bikes too. Remember 23rd Street Bike Shop? His passion was definitey wheels! Hot pink? Oh yea! And everything had lights! Good times, good times. Lisa :)

HA! We made Vision Fanny Packs. The 80′s were awesome. I never get sick of watching this, though I am definitely biased. And WTF was up with hot pink back then? I wore it too, so I’m not trying to make fun, but damn.
