Hopefully bring this back to life:
Skate camp 1987: Chris Miller (yes him) was teaching me to skate transition (never had before this). This was my first time skating this ramp by myself
Me & Bill Danforth (awesome guy). We started talking on day 1 about punk bands and he seemed blown away that an 11 year old liked all the same shit. We hung out the whole week.
Peanut Brown (cut off) & Chris Miller. Needed my mom to get a pic of him
September 1990, showing off my new H-Street Hensley. Indy 169s w/ green Supercush bushings. Powell fresstyle wheels.
Within a week of that:
want to say Oct. 1990, me & Girlfriend
Somewhere I have pics of the first time I ever skated - 1986 doing kickturns in my driveway and X-Mas 1986 skating a Vision board. I have 0 pics of me skating from like 1991-1998 which is fucking baffling. Bums me out!
Also want to add (mentioned it before).. this skate camp was in an outdoor rink at the park in 1987. The parking lot (not visible) behind the wall of the rink, and in front of that bridge is the 2nd place I ever rode a skateboard in my life. Next to this park is train tracks and then a neighborhood. I live in that neighborhood and cross the tracks to still skate there and take my son to the playground
