F%£K CHINA!

Good Idea when you want a motorbike or skateboard.
Not so good when you want a nice plate of rice and noodles!

carve high, carve long

Skateboarders are the wimps compared to
wall of death heroes.
These guys have been goin around in vertical
circles for more than 80 years.
They invented vert riding.
We can only follow.

Amber Gambler

I got hold of some stained glass paint
and painted the lens for my Triangle headlight.
For that authentic old skool 60's look.
It came out really well .
Just one coat.

I don't skate anymore, i'm just a KOOK!

Night of the livin dead.

Thats ME at the start with a firework nailed to my board.
Crazy night.skateboarding + beer = mayhem.
Always makes me laugh when I look back.

Joxa

My good buddy and Japanophile
has sent me good well wishes
and stickers from one
of his recent Japan trips.
I got a Kyle's Death Machine,
a Hawaiian pool PBR sticker
and Felem Skater -Biker shop sticker.
I got Joxa original art as well!
Thanks Joxa. Today you rule.

Bike I Like

Too many posts

I am sorry for too many posts at the moment.
But with my leg as it is I cannot get out so I am stuck here bored
to tears.
X-ray- 1 month down the line shows some movement back into place but it will be
months yet until it fuses and the bones and steel rod take the weight together.

Goin mental.

Pin Scratching

I have been trying to learn hotrod pinstriping.
Four 30 minute sessions and watching a instructional DVD.
This is the hardest thing I have ever tried.
I pulled lots of straight-ish lines and tried this freehand
design on glass using a pencil grid.
Respect to the guys who are masters at this...

Hey Baby!

1940's biker girl. hop onto my bike!

Mike Nyland

I went road trippin with the "Nylander"
all over England and Europe in the past 6-7 years.
Always a good laugh.
Mike was a bit of a big unit back then in this photo.
His van always swerved to the left whenever passing Mickey-Dee's golden arches!

Matt From DicE

Its my pleasure to stitch up Matt Davis .
He was in the original UK skateboard mags in 1978.
Now everyone knows his past because I sent the pic to
Jeff at Church of Choppers blog- probably the most
worldwide followed blog in this circle.

Sticks and Stones-

Break my Bones.

Sweet!

My Motoboard

Sadly gone now when it crashed and all the ignition wiring was killed.
30cc and 30+mph. Hand Throttle and Brake
Independent truck and black Alva wheels on the front.
This thing went like a raped ape!

Trawler-Hauler Rising

The Trawler-Hauler is coming up out of the ground.
Parts are turning up for a quick rebuild.
The seat needs to be a bit more white but I like
Ostrich look leather. It looks like a plucked arse!
I need a visit to the nickel platers
then up to Benny Boneshakers for pipes
and front end changes.

Favourite photo

With a heavy hangover , A full English breakfast in my stomach, a blim in my hip pack and an offensive T-shirt on my back we would speed bomb the Southsea multi storey car park on a sunday morning while waiting for the skatepark to open.
Land pirates- Southsea 88.

Booby Shaker?

From D.T.F.P BLog.
http://d-t-f-p.blogspot.com/
I built both these bikes and always felt they had something going on between them, both stock length forks, both spool hubs, they both have the same stance but are also completely different from each other, the Koolershaker with it's mids and teles and the Booby Trap with it's forwards and springer, in fact the only part thats the same on both bikes is the frame. I never had them both in the shop at the same time so never got to see them next to each other. Graeme just emailed me this picture he did of the bikes side by side which is really cool to see. Thanks Graeme.
It would be great to see both bikes ripping down the road side by side one day.
