Older skater Guys & Punk ass kids BS thread

I'll be happy to help... but I would rather bring a skateboard.

 

There are a lot of displays that make it tempting.Raffles and auctions as well.Wonder if they’ll do the same thing this yr.We’ll see!

 

Dirk @sdsurfer SHOF merch that will be available Thursday(decks/boards,sticker sheets,clothing).

 

I know and possibly next trip if extended days permit i’ll put in that half dozen.

 

For the SoCal’ers or particularly LA.area peeps!I personally unable to attend but surely this will be cool.

 

Ron (or anyone here), did you make it to the Pool Party this last weekend? I missed watching it online. Just been catching clips here and there on my social media feeds.

A crew of the AZ SkaterCon folks went and also attended the Skateboarding Hall of Fame presentation which also looked pretty rad.

 

Andy!I was offered a potential pass for the party from Jim Gray but had already decided to meet up with Oscar @BLKTRUCK for some offroading.

I shredded a tire on the way home and preceded to change out my spare but said f*** that due to the traffic flying by as close to the center divider that my truck was.So i called “Triple AAA” and while waiting for the tow truck i was watching the pool party.You can catch the entire almost 5 hr’s on YouTube from start to finish.I was stoked that Lance Mountain won for the OG’s!

When the tow truck driver showed up he was like f*** this as well and he loaded my truck up on his flatbed and we pulled off the first nearest exit to swap out my tire.

As far as the SHOF awards Dirk @sdsurfer and i had a great afternoon/evening!I’m going to go through the pics that i have and i’ll post them up.Possibly in the future i’ll meet some of the AZ Skatercon guys and will be familiar with their faces to say hello someday.

 

DUDE! Keep the shredding to when you're riding your board, not driving your truck! Old tire or just bad luck?

Sounds like a good weekend despite that. Definitely interested in seeing the pics when you have time to deal with the slow-ass uploading here on TW

The SkaterCon guys went to both events. Actually not sure you could call them specifically the "SkaterCon Crew", but the dude that runs the Cons was a part of it all and a few other guys who I've skated with and hung out with went, too. Maybe the better way to put it is "AZ skate dudes"...? Whatever.

Anyways, I had a feeling you would have been involved in one or the other... or both! haha

 

Suicide sucks

 

That is a sweet ramp and surely digging the spine consisted in it!Can’t say i’m familiar enough with BR but that’s very saddening.

 

@orezona @sdsurfer and everyone else interested.Photo dump from the SHOF(May 2nd,2019).

Going to start out with this one with Dirk since it’s a favorite of mine!Dirk chatting with Jeff Ho.

 

Good times Ron. Looking forward to getting up there again soon to session on your half pipe!

 

Another favorite of mine.Chatting with Glen E.Friedman.Reason being is every time i see Glen i say “Let’s Go Bucs” because we were both born in Pittsburgh PA.and we are Pirates fans.That’s how Glen remembers me,LOL but so cool!

 

Dirk @sdsurfer and i pics with(in order)...
Jeff Ho,Tom”Wally”Inouye,Eddie”El Gato”Elguiria,Steve Olson,Loni Hirramoto,Dan Levy(Juice Magazine).

 

Dan’s my favorite!!

 

Ray”Bones”Rodriguez,Jeff Amant(Pear Jam).

 

Remember when you offered to vacuum for him after the “JuiceMagazine”party for Jeff Ho and the Fakies?Probably not,hehe!

 

Gotta throw a shout out to Chan @bigbarlo who unfortunately couldn’t attend the event but is a Jeff Phillips fan and aren’t we all!Chan hope you don’t mind me posting the pic but the pic consists of a complete that was given to Chan back in the days from Jeff!R.I.P. JP!We all surely would like him to still be alive!

 

Oh and the ramp is just about done!A few things to tidy up and install the masonite and ready to roll!

A continual thank you to @BLKTRUCK and TW banned members @dtaco06 @itaro for the progression progress from start to finish!
