History

This has been the guest front page poster on crailtap for a few days. The guy in the middle is Roger Bagley. Roger grew up around here and for a while worked at Something Else in downtown Danvers, way back when it was a cool Skateshop. Long before they started selling wicker furniture and sharpening scissors. Roger eventually Moved into Boston and helped run Positive. Positive was one of the best skateshops Boston has ever seen. It was right on Newbury St. near Copley which was pretty much the AQ of it's day. The shop served as the hub of the Boston scene for a while but like all good things came to an end. Roger started filming and filmed for a lot of different things including some of the EST videos and 411VM. At some point Roger became team manager for Adio continued filming and ended up being one of the filmers on Bam's show on MTV. I'm not sure what Roger is up to these days, but I am sure that he's had a "positive" impact on the Boston skateboard scene and beyond.

Roger also happens to be brothers with EB rider/pro BMXer Jerry Bagley (who apparently has a myspace fan club)
