So yeah, it’s strictly product placement time here. Unpaid, to be sure, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a recent picture of Stacy Peralta on a skateboard. For some reason I remembered he had knee or hip injuries that were keeping him off the board. It’s good seeing him on a board. Here’s one that came with the announcement of (the second version) of his Hipster model, the Hipster 2. Although I don’t see a goatee on that action shot. I don’t know…

That’s a photograph from the 80s, look at the boards.

…and the guy that’s about 20+ years younger.

Yeah, that image on the left appears to be from the late 80s or early 90s.

I thought with some motion blur he might appear younger, but this is probably an older shot.

Not to mention the knee pads on the skaters in the background.

That’s the Powell warehouse ramp from the 80’s. I had a poster (send $2 for stickers and info…) of the whole team on it when I was a kid. Here’s a link ( http://www.p90noir.com/2012/03/vintage-skateboard-gear.html ) from the first image of it I found. Scroll down.
