Skateboard anyone?

[dagboyblue]

Does anyone remember Sundays at Bolton water place, now that was awesome, i have some old photos somewhere, my party piece used to be ollieing over a pallet stood on end, without using a ramp, then watchin my mate on his torker having a go wiping himself out.

Used to spend too much time at Ince skate park as well, My sons 13 now and is out skating as i speak at the new park at the rear of ecky, if anyones local, would love to go back to it, but my knees are a bit fooked now.

Hey Dude,
A pallet on the side.......... that's high!
My son's 3, I hope he stays into skating. I'm thinking of building a min ramp in my back garden (4ft high), that'll give him a good start!
We need to get a skate/VW session on the go!

thinking the same thing about a ramp today

got a nice bit of space at the back of the garden :lol:

Sweet, I have been getting out on my deck a bit recently. My heart's in it but I certainly don't have as much skill now!

It is great to get out though, get some pics Dagboy. :mrgreen:

seems im a similar ilk (and age) to you mr windsurfer!!!! started on a roskopp face....at the tender age of 14
then a cabballero (sp?)
after that had in no particular order
mcgill - with boneite layer
h street ron allen
vision gater
gonzales twin face
ray barbee
and finished on a ray underhill cross and chains (my favourite)

at the age of 19 ollied it down 6 steps....landed in the middle of the deck...snapped it clean in 2......and never skated again!

favourite wheels where either tracker ollies or powell t bones
favourite trucks were my gullwings and the best rails i had were ugly stix!!!!
ahhhh its all coming flooding back to me now!!!
wish i had kept it up....but there ya go...

on my roof rack you can usually find a vision lee ralph with independents and santa cruz bullets...
upstairs on the landing is a NOS powell ray underhill cross and chains with NOS trackers and NOS santa cruz sex cells!!
oh and hanging on the wall above that is a skyway ta!!!!! :mrgreen:

if i make it down to the cornwall campout you might get to see my newly finished oldskool skate interior! or at lobb fields praps.........

heres a tune that has a fond place in my heart......probably windsurfers too!!!! :mrgreen:
videos pretty cool too..... although not the original part of public domain...

i have spent years trying to find decent copy of this....and finally have and it has a special place on my ipod now!!!

 

[ant]

I knew what song that was going to be before i clicked the link, windsurfer and i were talking about that very song on public domain at bus types the other week. I remember recording it (through the air) and then listening to it whilst skating.

Could i get a copy of that off you at lobb-on fields dude(i'll bring me laptop)

ant

 

[thru_a_lupe]

yeah no worries!!!!! i'll burn it to disc :mrgreen:

This is my old ride, will restore it one day although i may build it up just to havesomething to ride soon

Mongoose decade, had it from new!

and built this for the wife, its a Redline, needs new wheels..... the bike not the car

 

[windsurfer]

Ant and Thru a lupe, that is piss funny. We were indeed talking at Bus types, the conversation went like this;

Ant: 'I can play one tune on the guitar Si, you might know it'
Si(Windsurfer): 'Does it go like this (da da da public domain tune)'
Ant: "No way, that's the tune'

It was a cool moment!
We should all take our decks to Lobb! Can't wait. 8) :mrgreen:

Axl, wicked bike! I'm going to start taking mine to the shows.

Ha! i am sitting at work currently editing photos and listening to the very tune..... it flookin rocks!
been trying to get my band to cover it...... but they just dont get it!!!!! :roll:

unfortunetly i didnt possess a camera when i used to skate.....

i did have one photo of me skating at lunchtime at school but its buried in a box somewhere at my folks place....

i remember the days of trying to get away with wearing airwalk hi tops, black vision trousers and my guerro tshirt to school!!! quite hard when ya mum was a teacher there!!!
