Several months back, I was down at the San Clemente skatepark, and noticed a kid riding an old board. I asked to check it out, and it was an old DT Jim Muir, with Indy 88s, green Kryptos and Sims Comp IIs. Asked him if he knew what it was, and he told me he didn't, just that his neighbor had it in his garage and gave it to him. Would've loved to have given him $100 and sent him down to the skateshop for a board he could really use on the rails, but I was totally broke that day. My policy now is ALWAYS have cash on hand when skating, never know what you might find...

Sorry Glen,

It wasn't Purcell. The shoe company also made trophies for all of the finalists in each event.

Keep trying.

Boardman,

Your answers are wrong, sorry. However, Kim Cespedes would know who the manager of the team was.

Another hint: The manager of the Mahajera Team went on later to own a skateboard safety equipment company.

Keep trying.

Glen,

Danny Escalante is not the correct answer for any of the questions. The #6 question is probably the hardest to answer of all the questions.

Keep trying.

Cliff's Trivia Contest

Arab, Glen, Jack or others,

Only three days left until my trivia contest ends! I've decided that the first person who can correctly answer 6 of the 9 questions will win the Maheraja.

Hint: Start reading The Quarterly Skateboarder #3 or the Nostalgia issue of Skateboarder magazine.

For those of you that aren't aware of the contest, look back about 25 or 30 posts. So far 3.5 questions have been answered correctly.

Good Luck.

Looking for oldskateguy?
On 11/14/2001 KK wrote in from (168.103.nnn.nnn)

I'm looking for the person who had a board listed on soul garage a few months back. It was a fiberglass deck, seafoam blue or green with the letters SKI on the top. I think he went by the name oldskateguy or something like that. Any help would be appreciated. By the way the listings sure have died out on SG. We need to pump the life back into the site.
