    Raise your hand if you remember SK8-TV! In the latest Bones Brigade Audio Show podcast, we journey back to 1990, visiting the old TransWorld offices, Grant's beloved darkroom, some early skate sessions, and much more. Check out how young Grant looks! Watch the clip below and let the nostalgia kick in.

    Let's think about something for a second—what if Grant never got that job at the Del Mar Skate Ranch back in the 80s? Honestly, it's pretty hard to imagine. Times were obviously different back then; everything was fresh, new, exciting. And we can thank Grant—along with all the talented skateboarders at that time—for paving the way for the rest of us ever since.

    Seeing this footage is pretty special. Admittedly (and to answer my own question from before) I do not remember SK8-TV because, well, I was just a mindless little baby during its heyday. But the skate nerd in me certainly knows what it is, and the episodes I've seen have always been a treat to watch. This episode with Grant is no exception.

    The clip above is just a taste, though. Click here for the full episode and take a trip back to what many consider the golden era of skateboarding. At any rate, this is pure throwback gold. Thanks for everything you've done for skateboarding, Grant! Let's hang soon.
