The server over at 48blocks went down for a bit. To make up for it they posted this bonus clip. Lets hope the server keeps going down if they're going to post something like that every time.
Respects to Ray Underhill today.

What can I say that already hasn't been said?

We recently did an interview with the original planB art director, Carl Hyndman.
"Name one person that almost got on planB back in the day, but got nixed at the last second?
6.9.08
Check out this video of Sean Cliver and Marc McKee. They talk about their traveling art show Censorship is Weak as F##k, and they talk in detail about some of the graphics they did back in the day. Sal's in there too!
Speaking of Cliver, if you're near Supreme try and grab a set of those boards that he did for them. The style hearkens back to his days at World in the early 90's.
6.4.08
We've got some things in the works as always, but nothing for right now. So in the meantime check out some old skateclothes of mine that I can't bring myself to part with.
Also, if you haven't been over here in awhile, you should check it out. They have been scanning entire issues of the classic early issues of Big Brother, so good.
5.22.08
We recently caught up with one of my personal favorites, NYC skate legend Jeff Pang for an interview.
Also, there's a new 80's/90's skarteboard blog that you should be keeping up with called chromeballincident. It's filled with some great old ads from back in the day. They were nice enough to send us a couple scans for the Pang interview too, so check them out.
5.21.08
We've got a fresh new interview dropping tomorrow!
Happy Birthday Biggie. Check him at age 17.
5.5.08
I don't have much to say, so in the mean time go check out Andy's wonderful sticker collection, and look at all the good old images he's got going on over there.
Also, the new shirts are still happening, it's just taking a little longer than expected. Thanks for all the interest so far though.
4.16.08
Check out the skatefairy for a nice little Jacob Rosenberg and Danny Way video, re-united after a 14 year hiatus. Nice.
Also having to do with our friend Jacob... Crailtap has gotta contest titled I Skated in the Early '90s and I Know My Shit! or Twelve Angry Skaters. So get over there and watch the video and name who's who, I don't think I'm going to win this one!
Check out what I found:
The strange obsession with old skate goods continues...
4.10.08
I'm selling some pretty rare skateboards from my collection on ebay to help cover costs to keep this site up and running. You can check them out here. So bid em' up if you're into old skateboards, it's for a good cause! Thanks.
4.9.09
Check out this never before seen demo footage of Brian Lotti, Sean Sheffey, Rudy Johnson, Jason Lee, Salman Agah, Willy Santos, Jordan Richter and more. You gotta love the turn out for the Jordan Richter & Willy Santos demos, there must be all of 5 people there. Ahhh the 90's, back when a crowded demo meant 20 kids showed up...a little different from todays standards of demos and contests.
4.8.08
The "news" section has been lagging here at Bobshirt.com lately, but we're always busy working on new stuff for the site. We've got a couple new interviews in the works that should be dropping soon.
I've recently gotten a ton of emails from people asking about the 101 shirts, unfortunately we sold them all awhile ago, sorry. But we've got some new shirts in the works that should be sure to please you guys.
In the mean time head over to Marc McKees site and kill some time wisely.
3.28.08
Big thanks to the SkateboardMag for the little write up they gave us in the latest issue (#50), you can check it here. It's much appreciated.
48blocks inteviewed The Don. Can't get much better.
3.20.08
We usually leave the current skateboard news to 48blocks.com & Skatedaily.net (who already reported this 2 days ago), but this news is simply too great not to post, Matt Beach is now on Skatemental. It just seems perefectly pure.
Yes, I do remember that one. They absolutely don't make them like that anymore, so good.... so good.
We've got some new tribute shirts in the works over here at bobshirt.com, so stay tuned. <mNc>.
3.13.08
Big Brother is back? It would be refreshing if they did a monthly magazine, I'm not sure if that is the plan though.
3.3.08
We recently interviewed OG East Coast pro Jahmal Williams, you can check it here.
Also, check 48blocks for a solid interview with Kelly Bird. Do those guys at 48blocks ever sleep? They just keep the good stuff coming...!
3.2.08
Jacob Rosenberg has been posting up more goodies on youtube. This time it's the entire DTS video broken up into parts. This video was packed full of young talent...Cardiel, Wade Speyer, Mike Cao, Karma Tsocheff and more. So get over to his youtube page and kill some time wisely.
2.23.08
We've teamed up with Bob K over at MumbleMagazine.com to bring you some full length classic vdeo podcasts for your enjoyment. The first of many to come is 101's Falling Down from 1993. It's safe to say that Koston was a little ahead of the curve in this one! enjoy.
You can also watch the full video here, minus Adam McNatt, sorry Adam.
2.20.08
As promised on the 12th, we have not one, but two interviews for ya. To help introduce Lakai's Carroll Select/Embarko Limited Edition shoe and the DVD put together by Jacob Rosenberg, featuring never before seen footage of Carroll from the EMB days. Bobshirt caught up with these fellas to get a lil' nostalgic about their skating/filming days during that unforgettable era.
We've got a nice inteview with Jahmal Williams in the works, so keep an eye out for that.
Also, we want to give a shout-out to Noel Wendt, who's been making this site a little more pleasing on the eyes... thank you Noel!
2.12.08
I finally got around to taking proper pictures of my semi-nerdy original skateboard art collection. Just click the girl with pigtails on our front page to see some good skateboard history.
We did another interview with Jacob Rosenberg which will be up shortly. In the mean time you can check out the first one we did with him last year here.
2.11.08
Words by Jason Lee, photos by Spike Jonze, no my friends this isn't a story taken from the latest issue of Star magazine, it's Guy Mariano's check out from 1992. Errrrr, this was 15+ years ago?? Dang.
Before es' & Lakai, Koston was puttin' it down in these bad boys for the nineFive.
48blocks interviews Mike Carroll, killer.
Click here to see pictures of Lance Mountain's skateboard memorabelia collection. The drawers of all the old slick sheets is spectacular.
2.9.08
Jacob Rosenberg posted some Rodney Mullen outtakes from the Virtual Raality days, lets hope Jake keeps these gems from the past coming. I think this is the first youtube link that bobshirt.com has ever thrown.
2.4.08
A little revamping. I got tired of looking at those 101 shirts to the right, and I also wanted to get back to posting the classic clipping's again (see right). I still have about ten 101 shirts left, mostly XL's with a couple larges in there too. You can contact me here if you want to purchase one. All proceeds will go to the next round of Bobshirt.com shirts. We've got a special guest on board for the next set of shirts, so stay tuned.
I always tripped out on the "House that Rodney Built" ad from 1995. 360 flips in '83. Fuckin' nutty.
In my constant search for old skateboard decks and nostalgia I found this Pepe Martinez Grey Market deck. Finding anything Pepe is always sick. That's my dog.
2.1.08
Check this article. It's got some nice photos and a cool write up about the Marc McKee and Sean Cliver traveling art show; Censorship is Weak as Fuck, the German installation.
1.31.08
Things have been quiet in the news section, but we've got some things cooking over here at Bobshirt. In the mean time check out this long winded interview with former Big Brother slave turned staffer, Pat Canale. (101 never turned profit?? That's fucked!)
If you haven't already, you should check out the clean line of boards and gear that Jahmal Williams has created over at HOPPS, "Keep It Moving!". After that you could read this interview with Jahmal from Big Brother #16. Smoooth.
How sick was ADI/ADunit/AmericanDream!?
1.17.08
Some nice person took pictures of some of the old Girl/Chocolate catalogs from 1997,98 & 99 and shared them for all to see on flickr. Click here to check out some of the best skateboard series ever created.

The Marc McKee/Sean Cliver artshow/retrospective "Censorhip is Weak as F##k" will be having another exhibit at the BRIGHT Tradeshow in Frankfurt, Germany, on January 19-20, 2008. From SF to LA, and now all the way to Germany, but still no love for NYcity...hopefully someday.
1.12.08
The youwillsoon blog posted another installment of their revered shoe vault classic. This time it's a tribute to SLB and all the kicks that he designed. Sick!
My favorites were the ones that Brian Emmers wore in the first line of this part.
1.10.08
Our front page got a long overdue facelift. Also there's a new page with a directory of all the Big Brother interviews that I scanned. Just click the dude swiggin' the 40 on the front page to see them.
12.31.07
It's the end of the year, let's go out on a high note for 2007. Sit back, relax and enjoy this. See you all next year.
12.28.07
Check this blog for some sick old ads, interviews, images and memorabilia from the 90's. Dylan's got some good taste in skateboarding, keep it up!
After checking out that blog head over to here for a cool retrospect on the prime of Axion. I got some "on ice" too, I'll try and take some photos and post 'em up.
12.21.07
Seasons Greetings from Bobshirt.com and Mad Circle circa 1993.
It's been a year since we changed our name, and its been a good one. Thanks for all the support from everybody, especially to 48blocks.com, Mike Regan, Tommy Cantrell, Skatedailly.net, Thomas Masthead, and the crazy kids on those Slap boards.
Thanks again, and we'll see you in '08!

This Saturday night in LA:
12.7.07
Aaaaand we have a winner to our first trvia contest! Dylan Cousineau from Ottawa Canada wrote in with this answer:
"My copy of Snuff came in a "SK8 HARD HOSOI" box. It had a sticker on it that said Snuff in cryptic maze-like writing."
Well you're right Dylan, Snuff came in a wide assortment of boxes with the said sticker slapped on it. You're free 101 shirt went in the mail today.
Thanks for all the other answers/scans/pictures. The most interesting variation of the Snuff box that was sent to us had to be without a doubt this one, sent in by Stephen Castle. There were a ton of other answers that ranged from Savannah Slammah to a snowboard video named Facto.It makes me wonder how many other variations there were. Here's my personal copy/cover variation of SNUFF. With all this talk of Snuff we mine as well all watch the best part of the video.
I got this funny email the other day from Patrick Kigongo. True indeed Patrick, probably some of the worst filmed parts ever. But you can't deny the manual 360 flip out at Pulaski in Snuff. Andy Stone's Falling Down part was pretty amazing too.
To wrap it up... Sean Cliver and Marc McKee are having another art exhibit showcasing their goods from the 90's. It's going down December 15th at 435 N. Fairfax, LA CA. From there the duo will be going to Germany and Australia to put on similar exhibits, all the while skipping right over NYC (damn dudes, show some love!). The LA show will probably be the best one due to the fact that the two artists live close by and can easily transport all their stashed goods, so don't sleep!
11.30.07
My favorite website interviewed my favorite artist, 48blocks talks w/ Marc McKee. While you're there check out a rare Gino clip that our friend Danny Fink filmed. What up Fink!!?
How about a Bobshirt.com trivia contest? The winner will receive a free 101 shirt. International contestants are welcome!
Question: What was the VHS box art for the 101 Snuff video?
Email your answers here. I think this one is a little too easy, I'll try to make the next round of trivia a little more challenging.
11.18.07
Things are going to be slow around here at bobshirt for the next couple of months due to this amazing new addition to the world.
11.7.07
FTC is having an art show in conjunction with Marc McKee and Sean Cliver, along with a screening of "The Man Who Souled the World". They'll be showing old boards and original art from the good old days, and they'll also be signing books. It's going down Nov. 17th, so don't sleep. I'm sure our good friends at 48blocks will be there to cover it.
Hopefully Marc and Sean will make it out to NYC with a similar show...
11.2.07
Paulo Diaz interview from Big Brother issue #10. You've gotta appreciate the last photo of the interview.
This weeks interview is in-part brought to you by Mark Bonner (yes that is his real last name). Mark is actually selling off a whole bunch of Big Brother's that he has doubles of right now on ebay. Get 'em while the gettin's good.
Gabriel Rodriguez, 101.
