History Channel


Did some archeology last week... uncovered these bushings I purchased from the original FTC (We're talking early 1994) which was located off Van Ness. It was a huge sporting goods store specializing in Golf, Tennis, Watersports and of course one of the hugest skate selections of any shop in that era. They had so many racks of big pants, every brand from that time (like R.E.N., T-Bags, Edward Sebastian) all kinds of smaller companies I never got to see in person on the east coast because of how dead skateboarding was at the time. It was probably the first shop I ever went to that carried 200+ decks at one time. Even though they did all the traditional sports it was still one of the greatest skate shops.
