UPDATE: Sean Cliver Ponders Jed Walters Turning Pro for World Industries in 1992
UPDATE 10.24.18: An in-depth interview accompanying the release of a debut pro model is a time-honored tradition in skateboarding. Head over to Strangelove to read Eric Swisher’s new Jed Walter’s piece.
So if you would’ve designed a board back then, what would it have looked like?
Graphic-wise, I probably would’ve let Sean or Marc [McKee] just do their thing, because those guys are geniuses. But on the more technical nerdy side, I always felt like boards back then were too flat, but that was the trend: to have really flat kicktails. I always liked popping stuff really big, and to me, steeper tails felt more conducive to that. So I would’ve wanted something along those lines, even if it wasn’t the trend, which means that it probably wouldn’t had been made anyway
There’s also a bit of unreleased footage of Jed and Shiloh Greathouse shot by Aaron Meza during the Love Child era accompanying the interview that should not be overlooked. We’ve embedded it below.
