I'm just one guy reminiscing about my own past and the stories handed down to me. Like I said before, Fausto and Stecyk told me these stories- who am I to second guess them? But, in hindsight....<br />And yes, Thrasher, and especially Jake, like to hold on to their grudges. I've tried to stay in the middle for the most part- but then again I have nothing to do with Thrasher or High Speed.Lance Daweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043292276808427026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3100394575884563186.post-6106507226090061582010-05-11T12:29:09.465-07:002010-05-11T12:29:09.465-07:00Well, I guess they were wrong, the timeline doesn&...Well, I guess they were wrong, the timeline doesn't match up. Guilty by association I guess. <br />Did they also say I was a staff photographer at Thrasher? They were wrong there too. I contributed a handful of photos to Thrasher prior to 1983 and they ran a few of their riders. I doubted whether Fausto knew me outside of being the guy that ran Del Mar Skate Ranch and Stecyk only knew me because I shot Hawk photos.<br />Never got any money for the photos they ran. I was just stoked I got a photo in a magazine, the only magazine. How does one quit what one is not a part of? I stopped sending Thrasher photos because I couldn't get them to run my photos because of my photos lacking quality or my geographic affiliation, pure and simple.J Grant Brittainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889214408370501049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3100394575884563186.post-56643404071315222722010-05-11T12:08:01.390-07:002010-05-11T12:08:01.390-07:00I love hearing about the old days!

You got to write a book Grant- you know we all want to read it!!Lance Daweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043292276808427026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3100394575884563186.post-87648263811623750692010-05-11T11:43:54.329-07:002010-05-11T11:43:54.329-07:00Ok Lance, there's some misinformation in your ...Ok Lance, there's some misinformation in your blog and I think you need to correct it.<br />Let me get a few things straight. <br />I never worked for Thrasher. I was the manager at the Del Mar Skate Ranch. I probably had 6 photos total printed in Thrasher, which was a surprise since they hated San Diego and probably me too since I was from San Diego. When this ad appeared in Thrasher I was still working at DMSR. Peggy Cozens and Larry Balma are the two people that started Transworld Skateboarding Magazine and I was asked to submit photos to their first issue. The Indy ad was THEIR reaction to them starting Transworld. I had no input in that decision, they were the owners and I had no say. When the first issue of TWS showed up at DMSR we all laughed at how corny it was, the whole Skate and Create thing, Be Good, Be Good. Did I mention that I worked at the Skatepark and not at Thrasher? The reason I started to work for TWS is because I could actually get my photos printed in a magazine. So Lance, I know you weren't around back then and depend on what the older guys tell you, but maybe you try coming to the source. Why listen to second hand hearsay?<br />By the way, that Indy ad was great and groundbreaking.J Grant Brittainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889214408370501049noreply@blogger.com
