1983 Vintage Transworld Ads

I added six more ads to the Transworld Volume 1, #3 vintage skateboard ad gallery. There’s Brand-X, looking sharp as usual with a new lineup that would stick around for years. What shoe company did Gator ride for before Vision Street Wear? It’s gotta be Vans at demo on a Firestone Ramp with Tony Magnusson. There there’s someone named Keith Butterfield winning freestyle for Bucci Sunglasses. Ever heard of him? What about Street Surfer Trucks? We’ll end with another Val Surf ad and Hawk leather skate gloves.

  1. Keith Butterfield skated for Vision. Even had a pro model out with them. He’s got a load of good “how to” videos on Youtube, freestyle tricks, obviously.

    1. Thanks for the tip. I’ll link his name to the channel here in a bit.

  2. Cool. I looked for his Vision deck online, but couldn’t find one. There’s one on page 330 of Disposable though.
