Powell Peralta Frankie Hill Bulldog Lapel Pin

Abou t the Frankie Hill Bulldog Art:

Santa Barbara local Frankie Hill was known for his “go for it” attitude, especially when filming videos. He was featured inPublic DomainbutBan Thisfeatures his breakout part, one minute and 38 seconds of what many today consider proof of Hills pioneering stunt work at big rails and huge gaps. After Ban This, Hill received bags of fan mail asking when hes going to turn pro. The timing was good, too, as a spot opened up with Mike Vallelys departure. Hill started riding Vallelys shape, modified with a bigger nose, and on a vacation with Hastings, he poached a bulldog logo from an Amsterdam coffee shop and made it his first pro graphic. It was illustrated by Sean Cliver in 1990.
