Jeff Phillips #1
















Super cool to meet Jeff Phillips three times although my friends the Abrooks got really close with him.
Sadly Jeff Phillips shot and killed himself on Christmas day 1993.
People say his skatepark wasn't doin too well and he had relationship problems.
Jeff Phillips beat Tony Hawk to win a major contest while he was off his head on acid.
Insanely powerful, creative and awesome skateboarder.

I have all these pics in my loft. But I ripped them from the Vert Is Dead blogspot.

He's a very - very nice man













The "nice" chap from the AA came out to collect me when I failed to tighten my hard to reach oil tank bolts last year.
Oops! the lube bag fell off and I dragged it down the road at 70mph by the oil lines.
These bikes are not straight out of a factory they need to be shaken down and tightened up.

The lesson I learned that day is; Ride, Wrench, Repeat and Wrench again!

Barnstaple Bowl 82






Beginnings of the great years of British bowlriding competitions
on local turf at Earth and Ocean skatepark, North Devon.
Summer 1982. I placed Third with Brit legends the Abrook Brothers and Gary Lee.
