I was perusing the back issues of Thrasher (yes, perusing…) when I found MC in the April, 1984 issue of Thrasher. It’s the Photograffiti section. It includes a paragraph where Mark (AKA Max Concave) talks about a ramp some surfers built here in Oregon, and laments about the lack of initiative shown by skaters. Well, 25 years later MC finally remedied the situation. Check it out after the jump… or I suppose you could actually read it at the Thrasher site. Gee whiz, don’t those High Speed Publications guys realize they are putting hundreds of nostalgia skateboard bloggers out of their imaginary, non-paying jobs? Seriously though, that is the MO of a lot of skate blogs out there, scan some old ads or features from the 70’s, 80’s or 90’s, and then reminisce. I’m not knocking them, because I do it all the time.
