May, 1985. One shot, epic cover: John Gibson on dawn patrol at Amarillo pipe. Twenty five years later, Johnny Tex talks turkey about the good ol’ days.
He skated on Alva's team so that makes him gr8? wtf there were all kinds of gr8 skaters from Texas between 1974 and mid 80's….especially from northwest Houston…
Pretty sure the ranger at AMMO was talking about the ORIGINAL Skateboarder magazine cover from March 1979,featuring either Doug Schneider or Rick Blackhart. Texan Garrison Parge out of Amarillo is the OG that found and cleaned out AMMO for skating. Having said all that,Tex tore that place up.
