This one is sick. The Geoff Rowley cover is a classic.

Best of 411 Volume 2
Best of 411 Volume 2 was available in the CCS Summer 1996 Catalog. I owned it at one time and it got stuck in my VHS. I took it to a repair shop and when I went back the guy said it came up missing and just gave me $20 for it. I figured he watched it and wanted to keep it or someone else did. I was kinda pissed but what are you gonna do? I think I bought it for $9.99 at Zumiez in Medford Oregon so it didn't matter that much.
CCS Summer 1996 Catalog
CCS knew what it was doing with its catalogs. The marketing department has skaters figured out and the company has done very well in establishing a solid foundation. The catalogs were a mix of skateboarding photos much like a regular skateboard
magazine coupled with hi-res product images. The selection was always great and the prices were reasonable. CCS catalogs were something you looked forward to coming every new season. This summer 1996 catalog features Brian Childers doing a Frontside 5-0 at the now demolished Hubba Hidehout in San Francisco
. Since the 90's, San Francisco has undergone an overtaking by yuppies that don't care for skateboarders that much even though they helped build the image of the state.

Skates On Haight 1996 Catalog
Skates On Haight is of course located in San Francisco on Haight St. As you can see they've been established for quite awhile. The shoes and decks in this catalog make me wish they were still available for sale. Good luck finding a new pair of Etnies MC Raps anywhere today. The last pair of Sal Barbier 23's I saw on eBay were listed for over $350 and had wear and damage. Etnies brought back the Sal's but replaced them with a 20 on the heel rather than a 23 and the sole is different from the original. This is an all around decent catalog. I'm not too fond of the rollerblade section. I don't know if kids nowadays care about rollerbladers because they seem to all be on goofy scooters and all types of stupid shit. Back in the day, rollerbladers were seen as style biters and poo butts.
