Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

when you say you "loved" that movie things begin to get fishy...Chin came out in 1987. I was 16 then. 18 years ago. you were yet to be born. does your big brother skate or something? how did you come to be exposed to old school skate videos?

the mystery remains...and now the "have you seen him" pistaboy chin spoke card seems all the more appropriate.

I am. My pops is a historian and has told me the story a million times. If I recall correctly they attempted to secede on pearl harbor, needless to say pearl harbor took the nation by storm and everyone forgot about Jefferson.

Does anyone still hold the same sediments? I don't really know. I don't, but I'm sure there are people out there all riled up about.

I was way into skating a few years ago. I then realized that most of the skaters in my town were arrogent bastereds, and also that I sucked so I stopped. I rented a copy of animal chin from the video store, because I read about it in Tony Hawks autobiography.

i have the hi-res version finished. what format would be best for you guys? tif, jpg, eps, psd?

also, if anyone else wants to come up with something for the back of the card, that would be awesome.

<edit>
is there anyone who might be able to match a font to the font from the original cover? it's a long shot, but i thought i'd ask. see the picture below for reference.

I thought my first thread was "Hello", wasn't it? Or I could do a Pistaboy autograph. Or the rules of pistaboy; Ask questions that have already been asked, etc.

who did the spoke card that said "bf ss fg" on one side and had pictures of a girl on a bike, beer, and pie, and the definitions of "hipster" and "beer" and, of course, "pie"?

that represents this forum fairly well.

by which i mean, we love to talk about hipsters, beer and pie. not that any of us are hipsters, or, for that matter, beer or pie.
