Paignton Seafront

Back to the scene of the crime.
From Skateboard! UK magazine 1987/8.
Tailtap over the hole.

In the background an old dude and his fake cop bike and jacket.
I hate bogus cop bikes more than real cop bikes.
Why would anyone want to do that??

"ITS SHOWTIME!"

Wish me Luck its the Paignton show this weekend.
Last year The Koolershaker won.
Lightning don't strike the same place twice!
£1000 up for grabs, all decided in the showgoers vote.

Bike I Like

Panhead again
Great paint, Nice seat, Cool Bars and Sissy.
Single down tube - strange frame.
Neat mufflers.
It deserves the name
"The PANty Dropper"!

Barnstaple Days

Some old cine film has come to light.

Back in 1981 I would take the train to Barnstaple to skate the bowl.

Only a handful of skateboarders were around then cos the scene was dead.

Unfortunately my footage ended up in the movie Rollin Thru The Decades

(History of UK skateboarding)under the heading "the era of Bad Eighties Fashion!"

The Phelper

I skated with Jake Phelps the longterm editor of Thrasher magazine a few times.

I remember in the snakerun at Munster ,Germany was the best.

Jake knows everything about skateboarding and he is quite a character!
