Twenty years ago today I experienced the Bones Brigade Summer Tour stop in Rochester, NY with some friends. Skating that day were Tony Hawk, Mike McGill, Ray Underhill (RIP), Steve Saiz, Eric Sanderson and Bucky Lasek. Here are a few treasures from that day…
Here is the flyer on how I first learned about the demo. Picked this up at Endless Summer Skate Shop.

For some reason this is the only photo I took on that day. Here is the Bones Brigade tour van parked in front of the convention center.
Here is a link to the ‘88 Bones Brigade tour photos and trinkets I have.
