40 OZ To Freedom...

Here is a nice wall piece with some Deadbolt Trucks attached via some old ass "Bridgebolt" style Deadbolt mounting hardware. The Rudy Johnson was popular in the 1990's for many reasons. It promotes underage drinking, epitomizes early '90's hip hop (if you weren't bustin' 40's of ST. IDES then I don't know what you were doing), it had a slick bottom for endless slides, and was manufactured by Blind, a World Industries company started by Mark Gonzales and Steve Rocco. Gonzales, who had previously ridden for Vision (get it, "Blind", the opposite of vision), and Jason Lee and the rest of the Blind team at the time also ran a series of graphics spoofing the Powell Peralta Skull and Sword style graphics but replacing the swords with items such as bananas. Rudy's graphic was a spoof on the old Per Welinder "Nordic" skull. Classic. Just looking at the Rudy Johnson OE model gets me so HYPHY that I want to put on some size 42 pants cropped at the bottom and listen to Del the Phunkee Homosapien while swigging 2 40's at once on the tail gate of my low rider Mazda pick up. Or Not at all. No not really. But I still listen to DEL.
