I'll look on eBay every few months, but I've pretty much given up hope of every tracking it down on the "NOS" circuit. As one would imagine, this graphics retains a great deal of sentimental value, elevating it to "holy grail" status. I think I simply kicked it down to my friend when it wore down to the nub. I ended up setting up the Sanchez board, taking it to Israel and skating the Tel Aviv park. In addition, the gentleman also brought out a Henry Sanchez board with a Daniel Dunphee graphic that looked very similar to this: I seriously doubt that is what I said verbatim, but you know what I mean. However, it does feature about three pages of world/blind/plan b/101 decks that were absent from the first book, including this "Kareemsicle" graphic, a piece that holds particular meaning for me because I specifically remember asking the guy at my local shop if there were any controversial World boards in the back. ANYWAY, Disposable 2 focuses on more 1960's/1970's decks this time around, without much of the narrative that made Disposable 1 so critical. One night my friend Sam read a whole Bukowski book there. I pulled that move where you read the book in three minutes in Barnes and Noble.
Subsequent to that, my long-awaited purchase of and immersion in the World Industries Complete Video Collection 1989-1996. Two very specific events precipitated this: First, the release of Disposable: A Skateboard Bible. As usual, much of my reflection centered around pre-2000 World Industries. A time to pull out one's favorite sweater on the first day that it's cold enough to wear a sweater and not be looked at as some kind of weirdo. A time to break down to its essential components that which is truly important.
Alf, however, displayed a much more palatable delivery than Way's trademark "mechanized Aryan super-soldier" style. The dude was one of five or so people in the whole world that could pull legitimately cool, progressive shit on both vert and street. I would also go so far as to say the following: However, when combined with listing Alphonzo Rawls as one of the elite talents of the whole decade, that seemingly left-field choice caused me to draw the following conclusion: Alphonzo Rawls is underrated as fuck. In addition, including the almost universally-maligned Lick in any list of elite Nineties videos surprised the fuck out of me, but if he's co-signing the XYZ vid and Uno it kind of makes sense from the persective of Mr. First, not including The Creeper among the list of elite Nineties graphic design dudes. However, I do have a couple bones to pick here. Clyde brings to light some of the same points, especially with regard to Rocco. It basically functions as an addendum or corollary to my previous post about the World box set. I found the above in the library the other day.
