Vintage Skate Stuff: 1987 Hosoi Autograph
Part 4 of a look into a collection of various skateboarding memorabilia from the late 1980s and early 1990s.

This is a photocopied picture of Christian Hosoi that was given out at a Jimmy'Z demo at Val Surf in North Hollywood, CA back in the summer of 1987. It's from a Jimmy'z ad that was in one of the skate magazines, Val surf put their business card on it and made photocopies of it to give out. These were given out for Hosoi to autograph. Hosoi did sign this one, and as with most of his autographs back then, he added the year. After being proudly displayed for awhile, this photo ended up stashed in a Thrasher Magazine that was tossed in a box with other old skate mags and stored away for two decades.
Ended up finding this when pulling out the old collection of skate magazines a few weeks ago. Brought it to the Agenda Trade Show to show to Christian. Caught him outside and he immediately recognized the shot.
"Backside 360 Judo Air!", he said, "My signature sure has changed a bit since then." as he updated the old photo with a new autograph and the current date.
Hopefully, I'll have him sign this photo again in another 20 years.

Vintage Skate Mag, Flyer & Catalog Scans: H-Street Newsletters
Part 3 of a look into a collection of various skateboarding memorabilia from the late 1980s and early 1990s. Every week (or so), we will pick a couple items to go over and give them high-resolution scans. This week, two newsletters from H-Street.
First up is a H-street Newsletter from October 1991. It is a single page newsletter with printing on both sides. H-Street would send out a newsletter every few months or so, it would give updates on their skate team, products, and info on their next video release. They sent out this newsletter right after Mike Ternasky left the company and started up Plan B, taking several of H-Streets riders with him. This is mentioned in the main section on the front page. Also on the front is info on submitting for sponsorship, a update on their demos, and a section about art work that people have sent to them.
On the back is info on their next video release and more artwork they recieved from fans.
The next newsletter is from 1992. They now called them "The Orange Report". It was a 4 page newsletter printed on orange paper. Unlike the other versions that were folded and put in envelopes, this one was folded, stapled shut, and had the mailing label attached to the front page.
The front page had info on their latest video "Next Generation". The second page contained a quiz about the video, in which the first 20 people to mail in the correct answers would win a skate deck. also on the second page was a best of poll for the video and a section about what all skate team members have been up to.
Page three is all about their newest products.
The back page contained a section where tony Magnusson talks about filming and editing and then a section where Eric Koston and Alphonzo Rawls are interviewed.
That's all for these two items. Will have scans of more stuff next week.
