Skateboard! July 1990

I’ve added 27 adverts from the July, 1990 issue of Skateboard! magazine, published in the U.K.. This is the same publication that started in the 70’s – see Issue #10 from 1978. The issue is kind of thin, coming in at 64 pages. Someone paid for a trip to Brazil and so that’s pretty much the only thing in this issue outside of a page of record review and a couple of comics. The quality of the photographs vary, not quite up to the standards of the bigger mags, but on the positive side, it’s packed full of spots you’ve probably never seen before if you don’t live in Brazil. Theres a thoughtful write up of a visit to a local skateboard factory with discussion of trying to meet the quality standards of the USA based companies. Curiously, the skateboard molds were made out of aluminum. Check out the vintage skateboard magazine ads in the July, 1990 issue of Skateboard!
