Basement Sessions

My buddy Josh Sullivan sent over some old Polaroid skate photos of him shredding a basement mini ramp that he and some friends built back in Oakton, VA.  Josh says the photos are from 1989, but they look a little older than that to me.  I’m thinking 1988.  Photo credit goes to Brent Christian (Rest in Peace 12/05/74 to 9/12/2007).  Brent is pictured at the bottom doing a super tweeked out method grab off a driveway launch ramp (I love the motion blur in this pic), as well as in the synchronized handplant pic.  He’s the guy in the middle.  I’d love to have that Bones shirt he’s wearing (they go for boku bucks on eBay).  

I love seeing old pics like this.  Skating was so pure back in those days.  Thanks for sending the pics in Josh!
