Man more Ron Allen story's please
He was in Aberdeen for an "H-Street" tour with Tony Mag (Aberdeen is not anywhere near where they were touring but they had a day off and i guess wanted to see what depressing would look like if it were an object), anyway they were doing demo's at Livi, which is in between Glasgow and Edinburgh (Aberdeen is 3 hours away).
So anyway Ron Allen and Tony Mag are in the fucking skate shop in the pissing rain, laughing about how crap the weather is, so Ron wants to see some skate spot, we show him the local spots, he's pretty stoked on them as well, which is funny, so he he wanted to come back and skate here before the tour was over, a few days later adn we're at the demo being stoked on them skating and he's all like "Hey you guy's came to the demo - that's rad" he was totally stoked on us coming down to watch them skate, it was rad, he was really fuckign good as well, they had an am with them but i wasn't sure who that was
But yeah a really, really nice guy, so stoked on everything "Hey it sure rains a lot here !"
I think was my favourite quote
-
what is that music?
-
Ron and some friends.
-
Skating and music there- a grade!
Actually, that video has soooo much stuff that I can still watch. Saying something about my age perhaps...

Ron Allen is one of the coolest pros I ever met. No vibes or ego, just about skating and having fun.
-
I see him skating around pretty often. I think my most random sighting of him was when I was skating this school and noticed the window was open. It was on the second story but I managed to climb up to it and sneak in and found a marching band uniform. As I was climbing back out I saw Ron Allen walking down the sidewalk.
-
I have to try and upload that section at the end of the Fun video where he kicks a freestyle...."just a black man who knows my history"....it is pretty epic.
-
he became a professional jazz musician i think and then he's been doing camps in the bay area....he's old..like 45 or some shit...but he actually looks younger now....he just talked and talked...I did a little interview that no one ever ran...if I still have it...I'll post it...he's doing some board company...NRG or something...they are doing bamboo boards i think.... i had like three of those ron allens in a row....
-
when he was over in the uk for the hocus pocus premiere i got to skate curbs with him outside the original slam/rough trade, super nice guy.
i noticed someone did a trick in a recent video over the 'ron allen gap' which stoked me out.
i too have the fun video, he hand painted the boxes for those if i remember right

Ron is about the truest skater there can be... still living and breathing it so positively everyday from ripping it up at all the bay area parks to being so stoked on doing skate camps for the future generations! he is one of a kind~
