So the run would be from Sub-Zero to Love, and when you finally got to Love it must have been nice to finally stop pushing and take your heavy bag off for a bit.

I mean I may be wrong and this is terrible, but I honestly can’t remember there being a filmer there. But I was fortunate to be able to film Tom and Andrew because those guys landed shit all the time. Also I’d hand the camera to someone and have them film it while I shot the photo, which kind of had a cool look in itself if someone doesn’t exactly film it perfectly. It sort of lends itself to that kind of voyeuristic, amateur, secret footage kind of feel you know? But at the same time that’s what gives photos from then that special look because there wasn’t that technology. Also included in the book alongside Pete’s imagery are quotes and anecdotes from legends like Tony Hawk, Arto Saari, Jamie Thomas, Guy Mariano, Nyjah Huston, Geoff Rowley, Stevie Williams and others. size_guide_content": "\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0475\/6461\/9930\/files\/Wheel-SizeChart_480x480.jpg?v=1609372952\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"19\" style=\"width: 551px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 180px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHEEL SIZE (MM)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 158px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRISER SIZE (IN)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 201px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePREFERENCE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 180px;\"\u003e49mm - 52mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 158px;\"\u003eNOT NECESSARY\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 201px;\"\u003eTechnical street skating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 180px;\"\u003e52mm - 55mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 158px;\"\u003e1\/8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 201px; text-align: center;\"\u003eAll round skating, aimed more toward street\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 180px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e55mm - 60mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 158px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1\/8 - 1\/4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 201px;\"\u003eAll round skating, aimed more toward transition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 180px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e60mm - 65mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 158px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1\/4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 201px;\"\u003eTransition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 180px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e65mm - 70mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 158px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1\/2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 201px;\"\u003eSome transition wheels in this size \u0026amp; cruiser wheels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 180px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e70mm +\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 158px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1\/2 +\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 201px;\"\u003eCruiser wheels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e" its creation.

When will my order arrive?

Ok regarding archiving as well, I wanted to ask you about lost photos. Were there any photos you wanted to include in this book that are just M.I.A. now? Indeed! Ok so obviously the title of your book ’93 til, is a nod to Souls of Mischief and that era of skateboarding in the nineties… My last question is: why do you think ‘90s skateboarding is so significant? Yeah I remember there was a thing where everyone would meet up at Sub-Zero (old Philly skate shop) off South Street and there was a line to take all the way to Love Park and they knew all these things to hit on the way. So it was one continuous line from Sub-Zero to Love. Another feted rhymesmith stood behind Souls in the Hiero queue - an emcee known as Casual - and all the crew benefitted from producer/manager Domino's input; so there was something for the band to build on, and a story to tell that showed they were part of a movement, not just Del's mates latching on to his coat-tails, and therefore likely to fall by the wayside if his career faltered.

Yeah I didn’t think I was able to do what Dan Wolfe did for that particular group of guys. Stills just didn’t show the energy and the rawness, the speed, etc.… Not to say that people didn’t do that type of skating before, you know you look at Julien Stranger…

International orders

Yeah I remember you saying to me in the last years of your skateboarding photography you were really getting into shooting portraits and you wanted an outlet for that kind of thing. And you said you started to enjoy that more than actually shooting skate photos. And so putting together this book, have you used any photos that were maybe the last few frames from a roll and at the time you didn’t think much about, but know they’re some of your favourite photos? One anecdote from that trip that I can remember was that (Andrew) Reynolds was with us, and he may have been maybe 18 or 19, and to this day Reynolds just loves Penny. But at the time, being in the van with both of them, Reynolds was just sort of, like, you could just tell how much in awe he was of Tom. I mean we all were, but Tom would do something just random, maybe someone filmed it or maybe no one filmed it, but he would land stuff and Andrew would just stand there looking completely baffled going, ‘he… He’s the best! He’s the best!’ I can visualise and hear him saying that still because he was just so excited to be able to see Tom skate and be around him.
