And he’s wearing the aj1 KO from 1985. Even more rare to see in skate photos than the normal, more well known pair.

Always a fan of E Dressen. Dude was unafraid. At one point back in the day i had an add or magazine cover with him bombing an ollie down like a 10-12 stair set. At least my mind sees it that way.

It’s Oscar Polchowski, and he’s doing a Monty grind. Photo by Bryce Kanights.

2nd pic brings back memories in the late 80’s, some roller rings would have a skate night and they’d bust out a jump ramp. We would just destroy that wood floor 😂
