Skunk Bros

Lucas, Tommy, Devin, Lance & Brian at Harry's Jump.

I think it was late '88 when I rolled up to a party on my fully raced out Boss Pro with Brian on his white Redline. We ran into Devin and that was pretty much the formation of the Skunk Bros along with Robbie. Devin asked, "Do you race?" My response was, "No I just ride." That Monday Devin met me after school and we rolled up to the wedge. All I ever did at the wedge then was try to jump it. Devin rolled up and was doing fakie roll backs, rock walks, footplants and trying to decades and other crazy shit. From then it was on. Devin educated us on the Dirt Bros and the POW's. A year or so later we met Tommy, he rode for a month or so and was better than the rest of us!

I have been going through a bunch of my old photos and shit and figured I might as well share some of this history. I am trying to gather old Skunk Bros and Bushnell Tanks photos, please contact me if you have any contributions. It was at Bushnell Tanks that we came up with the Skunk Bros name. I will get to that one later.

Tommy, Lance, Brian and the body guard, Jerome in front of the bus. Check out the old school bikes, taken at the Canal Park jumps circa 92-93.
