It’s Skateboard Rocky!

I found this picture by following a trackback from Sk8.net. It’s from tumblr user djmascotboy, and you can see it larger here. This Rocky kid has good taste in female companions and bad taste in knee pads. Actually, I think he’s sharing shirts with his girlfriend. Those look like Indy 215’s he’s sporting.

Update: Checking back in over a decade later and I was able to figure out this is called Sukebo Rocky By Motoyuki Asai, and it translates to “Skateboard Rocky!”

This is volume 1 of the compiled Sukebo Rocky manga series. Near as I can discern, it was published in 1987.

Volume 2 is actually in the original blurry photo at the top of the post. It only took me 13 years to discover this. This volume was possibly published in 1989.

  1. looks like that back truck is good and tight or he’d have some nasty wheelbite with that rail placement.

  2. no pivot, just kingpin ….or the back truck’s on backward
