Mini Ramp Flashbacks and the McKinlays

Nov 07, 2016Skull Skates

Recently PD's Hot Shop rider Mike McKinlay uncovered some original prints from a 1996 Huck Magazine photo shoot of PD's Hot Shop manager Sam McKinlay. Backside melon and a frontside nosebone on a Westbank, BC mini ramp. Post-OG Creature Scarecrow Misfits deck, Creature wheels, heavily restored Vans (when finding the classic Vans waffle sole in a world of DC's and Etnies meant buying them from BMX mail-order stores in the US) and the mandatory fitted black shorts and black socks still worn religiously by Sam to this day. Photos by Richard Desjardins.
