Back on Board

It seems like it is Family week on this blog.
Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

First skateboarding mission since breaking my leg in 3 places.
That was 9 months ago.
Tragically my son Ben rolled headlong off a cliff,
he got a load of grass in his mouth and nearly died!!!

My Boy, Ross Strummer

Turn them on to the good shit at an early age and watch em’ go!
Ross, you need to turn up your guitar and turn down the backing track.
Kids today eh? think they know it all!

Skateboard trick invented in the late 70’s by David Andrecht.
Its always been a barometer of how well I am skating or how good my back is holding out!.
Back in the old days I loved this trick and I could huck them up at will.
In recent years they have been on and off,
I have never been able to flap them over like the Jason Jessee picture.
The most recent pic looks like I am leaping out or letting go too early,
what a total spazz!

Game of S.K.A.T.E.

Me and my little tacker - Ben went to the game of skate
in Plymouth City centre last Saturday.
Basically if you cannot follow up your opponents trick you get a letter,
first one to get S.K.A.T.E. has lost.
A cool little afternoon out, Benny Bongo was stoked (he's in the red top sat next to me )

Greasy Benny

Good to see my friend Benny has had a visit from the man from Greasy Kulture magazine.

About time he had a bit of worldwide coverage-long overdue.

Don't know who George Barris is?

Chances are you have thought he was cool since you were a kid.

You just didnt realise!
