an old -real- ad....

this was probably around 1994.
gabe shot the photos on wood st. in west oakland near
the old warehouse that i lived in at the time. i remember
being really stoked that Real did this ad with me and our dogs.
those two dogs loved to pull the skateboard and would get going
super fast. a good memory.




thanks to all that responded on the -content warning- post below.
means a lot

those photos are great. nice to see a company with some vision too, that recognize a great image that tells a story. i bet everyone who ever read the magazine where those images ran recognized them right away. the nose slide heelflip out on the previous page, maybe not so much.

Man, I love that ad.

Stuff like that is what got me into REAL and DLX in the first place.

i used to skate down a hill with my son. i'd pick him up and take 2 big pushes and then stand him between my feet. it was about a minute long ride, and the hill was super mellow, but it was really fun. he'd laugh and point at stuff along the way.
in a strange way, it was like i was experiencing that rolling feeling for the first time again.
good times!

Those shots are great! I tried taken both of mine once but they had different routes planned. Now it's one at a time. By the collars is some hardcore shit!
