an homage deck currently in the works to be released next month. growing up in the islands there was only one tv show that featured the 50th state, that was hawaii 5-0. steve mcgarrett, danno, chin ho & crew fought the bad guys every week on the tube. a very special era for hawaii (1960's-70's). some of the old shows featured on location some of the pools we later rode including the infamous poi bowl which the general gary got the tws cover. so this cheesy hawaii police show has ties to the rhps in many ways. this deck has special meaning to us as you can tell.

the "guest" skater is an old friend, he is a seasoned vet pro sk8r'. you all know who he is, rips the bowls and rolls in his custom vintage vehicles. who is he you ask? not yet - to be announced soon............

we grew up with thrasher since the first issue. in many ways living in the middle of the pacific it was our only connection to what was happening in skating. skateboarder, action now had folded and tws was yet to launch. we studied the pics to learn new moves, mail ordered our gear and made home made thrasher tees ( we couldn't afford them). as the 80's progressed we became friends with the staff and did features with kevin thatcher (the original editior) and mofo.

as the sport progressed and we were the old, we read the zine less. but our respect to high speed productions/thrasher remained loyal. "skate and destroy" is still our motto and we still always check the indy add first on the last page. cheers to decades of showing us how to skate and live the lifestyle. r.i.p. fausto.

*on that homage note, the new cover rips. front truck nose grind by dill - a trick we will never attempt but radical by all means.
