In the summer of 2023, a man in a wheelchair approached Labor skate shop looking to donate a bag of artifacts. You’ll never believe what was in the bag. Thanks to James & Diego laborskateshop.com
Exact same thought. I once saw Spike in disguise in Washington Square park recreating his icon Beastie Boys photo under the Arch but it was him taking a selfie with his Dog.
YES!!! A new Same Old coming through. Made my shitty day way better. Lately, I've been looking for tgat photo of Mark from the poster I had on my wall where he's blasting over the construction horse and wearing the "Dork Taste The Sensation" shirt, which I had both, the poster and the shirt.
gonz is the goated goat. nobody embodies skating like Mark. Right up there if not surpassing Rodney, Tony, Jay Adams, Alva, etc. Mark Gonzales 4 ever. I didn't even start skating until '01 and his influence is still incredible. Just in the last year he's been posting clips of switch tre flips, on his huge giant boards. Such a legend
Bobby, thrasher just put out a piece on the Brooklyn banks, it made me think how awesome of a deep dive video you could make talking about it. They even showed your half cab flip on the bank.
Theres an interesting old video on CZcams called "Mondo Vision :A day with Andy Takakjian". He's the artist who drew all (or most) of the classic Vision graphics. He's got a pair of Vision high tops hand painted by Mark Gonzales that Mark just left on his desk. I love how Mark just leaves a trail of art and wonder wherever he goes. Cheers
That is cool you talk about the Billy Waldman story, few know about that. It's such a rad graphic. I was pretty blown away when I found out it wasn't Blender's. I loved Club Home Boy magazine as a kid. Great score.
How freaking awesome is that?! I wanna know who the dude in the wheelchair was, and why he inexplicably just got rid of that history. Natas posters 🔥🔥🔥
You have a nostalgic feel that pulls viewers into the media that you profile and describe with enthusiasm in your videos. Basically you make all the products, old stories, and the assorted media seem really cool and I'm like, "I want some of THAT!".
That’s Chico Brenes in the World ad, not Gabriel Rodriguez. I remember seeing something saying that mystery person is Cara Beth Burnside, but that doesn’t make much sense. This is such an insane cache of Golden Era Spike photos/ephemera… and handed over randomly and for free makes it all the more crazy. Stoked!
Cool to see that Wrench Pilot comic again. I used it as the cover of a sociology term paper in college about skateboarding and social space. Please thank Andy for me if you see him.
PHENOMENAL tales 🙌 Looks like a pirate collection of someone who worked at Big Brother. Experienced a similar sitch- some posters appeared of my shots that were pilfered by a lab technician at Bay Photo Lab in the 80's.
Wow this is amazing. Yes that’s a Spike photo of Jamal Livingroom Johnston Simmons. I can’t wait until you figure out exactly who this stuff belonged to.
These are Spikes!! Has his mom's name Sandra Granzow on the shipping label of the magazines. Wouldn't be surprised if he left them at Mark's studio just a half block from Labor and they got left/lost in a move or something.
The real first Big Brother (it was free at skateshops) had Shiloh Greathouse doing a blindside Ollie to fakie over a hipped quarter pipe. It was super small like a zine and had an article featuring Natas and (I believe) Marc McKee going to Disneyland to get ideas for graphics.
It was most likely spikes brother who gave him the box. I work in the area and I’ve seen spike pushing his brother around in a wheel chair due to an injury. His brother is also a photographer.
Let me be a little more specific…I saw spike pushing his brother in a wheel chair around the time that this video may have been filmed because labor hadn’t been renovated yet. I also believe his brother lives in the neighborhood.
Phelper was cool, i was skating down the street in SF and he threw a Thrasher SOTY shirt at me. Had Ishod on it. Saw him completely passed out on the bus once too😮
Love u Bob, n w/ that I say Spike is Like John Stewart, Gene Simmons, and a slew of others as they are the few in Holly Tree Wood where that isn’t there real names hiding their heritage.
I've still got my big brother magazines. That one had Rick ibeseta on cover. I could be wrong but didn't first issue come in a cereal box. I don't think I got it. I think the third issue was rectangular lengthways with ring bindings. I could be wrong, I haven't looked for ages. Had Daewon on cover doing some crook on bank to kerb that I forget name of. I had extensive mag collection that did include boxes of Thrashers going back to I think 84. I was moving around a lot 20 to 25 years ago so I gave a lot to my friends who at time were running one of the British skate mags. Mainly the old Thrashers. I kept many great issues though including all the first slap mags.
The Tim Gavin Frosted Penis Pops cereal box issue was Big Brother number six and the first one I bought at a shop (I was 14/15). Such an amazing gimmick. I kept the Foundation condom in my wallet all summer long in the off chance I was gonna need it with my girlfriend at the time. Hahaha. No luck.
At 14:33 the person is the infamous legend Saecha Clarke. The first female documented skating a handrail. I believe Her and Shiloh Greathouse got married.
i bet the dude in the wheelchair was Spike in disguise.
Was thinking the same!
One hundred percent the case. Spent the whole time watching the video assuming that was gonna be the reveal
Exact same thought. I once saw Spike in disguise in Washington Square park recreating his icon Beastie Boys photo under the Arch but it was him taking a selfie with his Dog.
Nah it’s the guy who owned the world warehouse. When he sold the building these items were found in one of the basements, lost to history.
This was great! I think it’s Saecha Clark in the Ad. When I interviewed Karl Watson he said it was Cara Beth Burnside though. But I think it’s Saecha
Yep. I also think that is Saecha
Yes its Saecha I don't remember who just posted about her and that was one of the pics , Clyde Singleton I think posted some Saecha photos maybe
Pressing the play button for this video feels like opening a birthday present! Thank you Same Old!❤❤❤

I am going to go home, go to a quiet place with some food and a drink and take this all in, I am so happy that Bobby keeps making these.

As always, so epic to see some of these random artifacts pop up out of nowhere. Love this shit Bobby!
Amazing stuff. I don’t think everyone realizes how influential and outside the box spikes photos were.
Bobby, thrasher just put out a piece on the Brooklyn banks, it made me think how awesome of a deep dive video you could make talking about it. They even showed your half cab flip on the bank.
thats insane to have jonze prints. one of a kind and priceless.

Who’s address is on the subscription label, it’d be interesting to know how and why they had the Spike prints etc, perhaps a relative?

My heart was racing when you pulled the stuff out of the bag. I couldn’t wait to see what was inside. It didn’t disappoint.
Thanks Bobby!!
Bobby is the man, so much knowledge of skateboarding history!!
Can’t believe the condition of those magazines, tunnel of love cover is very special remember when it came out. Thanks Bobby

Puleo is a skateboarding anthropologist

Wow, what an unbelievable story. The memories from those photographs is surreal
Transworld was such a great mag in the late 80s early 90s.
Dude. I was waiting for the mind blowing identity of the mystery wheel chair man to be revealed the entire episode....whaaaaaaa

Wrench Pilot and Club Homeboy brings back some memories. BMX

Incredible!
Nice treasure! Thanks for sharing.
drooling over that BB #2 test print ! !! well done, Bobby!
Saecha Clarke in the World ad. First girl to boardslide a handrail. Worked with her for many years.
This is absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing ❤
Dude, what an incredible collection. This was awesome.

Good eye I was thinking they just had to come by way of GONZ in some form or fashion

Love it! your doing a great service to skateboarding helping us see all this stuff
Sascha Clark in the World add.
was gonna comment that too!
another banger Bobby, thanks!
great content.... can't wait for next installment.
I always click on the Bobby vids so fast
I probably read that Big Brother a million times back when I got it.
My first Board was a Neil Blender Snake and Lattice with tracker trucks
fantastic work!
papa ross with the bgps right out of the gate
Perhaps the person that gave this material worked in print production, or as a graphic designer/art director specializing in magazine layout
another juicy historic ep, thanks
Holy Crap! What a gold strike.
Saecha Clark, was on World, it's her
It was most likely spikes brother who gave him the box. I work in the area and I’ve seen spike pushing his brother around in a wheel chair due to an injury. His brother is also a photographer.

25:45 eastern skateboard supply ad! I worked for Reggie for years (1996-2007).
I actually sold a lot of your boards Bobby!!!
Phelper was cool, i was skating down the street in SF and he threw a Thrasher SOTY shirt at me. Had Ishod on it. Saw him completely passed out on the bus once too😮
Nodding off. Binder Dundatt.
Blacklisted Danny Gonzalez. Yeah, really "cool." 🖕
We used to have loose ball bearings and had to skate barefoot
Great stuff as always Bobby! 🍻👊🏼
We must find wheel chair man.
Can't believe they didn't get his contact details
So good. Thank you! Shoutout Diego too, always cool to me at Labor
Love u Bob, n w/ that I say Spike is Like John Stewart, Gene Simmons, and a slew of others as they are the few in Holly Tree Wood where that isn’t there real names hiding their heritage.
jason corbett is the dude in the transworld cover ( 24:55) Toronto skater. great video!

Skaters are always welcome in Mullaly skatepark, its stil skatable and should check out the new street session right now. wow great shot for the bronx

incredibly cool
Damn!! I have an eight ball clothing shirt I never understood what it was. So sick it was started by the same dudes that did droors & DC
Wasn’t the mall in Video Days the Redondo Galleria?
Bobby puleo in a sidewalk surfer shirt, AZ reppin
Get yourself some inexpensive readers to carry around Bobby👓
For real
ty
So good
Amaizing video ❤hmu if any of the mags with more than one copy are for sale 😉
It was 100% Saecha Clark who I'm pretty sure is married or just in a serious relationship with Shiloh Greathouse.
Neil did the lattice and handed it over to a girl at g&s cause he felt like he couldn’t finish it
The picture with Gonz with his hand out was in a magazine it looks familiar
Safe to say Spike got dressed up as an old man, again 🤔
Diego is a lucky guy fr
At 14:33 the person is the infamous legend Saecha Clarke. The first female documented skating a handrail. I believe Her and Shiloh Greathouse got married.
Shout out Brent fellows and Tom Knox Visalia Legends
I bet this stuff was sitting in Gonz's studio and he put the wheelchair guy up to giving it all to the shop..
what a treasure trove
Why didnt they get the mans phone number. It would be interesting to find out how he got the items .
isn't cara beth burnside the missing person in the world ad? probably not though given bobshirt's commentary
really? wow
i assumed it was her from the Bobshirt Karl Watson iinterview.just saw bobshirt's commentary.
Transworld had the best photos
10:56 what about Danny way ?
Only in NYC
