old bank riding video
On 10/28/2003 pgraf wrote in from (66.128.nnn.nnn)

Hi All,

I am in the process of coverting my old super 8mm film to digital. I just point the video camera at the screen and then capture that film to digital. Its crude but it works ok.

This video is a bank riding session in St. Louis, MO back in the early to mid 80's. I only know one guy's name in the video, so if anyone here is from St. Louis and know any skaters name please tell me. the faces might be hard to make out.. the qulaity is pretty crappy.

Abq ditches Teusday
On 10/27/2003 GBMII wrote in from (143.183.nnn.nnn)

Palmer and I are on it all day teusday. Give a shout if you're interested in hitting some ditches. Negro Arroyo, 528, and Ventura from dirt to dirt(it should be dry from Holbrook to the I-25, 4+ miles)

And maybe a trip by "the Reservior".

Mama Bear too??? yikes!!

K-Lee
On 10/24/2003 Lowrie wrote in from (65.161.nnn.nnn)

Sounds cherry K-LEE, I was thinkin about hittin the ditches on my new side too. 528 is always fun as long as there's no water, I was checking out this other one too but it also had water....DOH!!! I was planning on hooking up T with some pivot trucks, they might be to wide for that anomally, I wouldn't call that board a ditch board either, oh well something is better than nothing. Swing by the house when your ready to go sk8 since we will already be all the way over there. Sk8 L8!

Guess I'm not one of the gentlemen...
On 10/24/2003 K-LEE wrote in from (129.24.nnn.nnn)

OK, so it looks like I took offense to some of Sharon's words. I apologize for amplifying the bad vibes on this forum. Although I would still like to know who it is that's persuading me to ignore you, Sharon. My bet is that it's my physics professors, or all the athletes that need tutoring 7 days a week. But they know nothing of my skate life, so how could they persuade me to not skate? Hmmmm.....

Out of curiosity, how wide is the board that Palmer hooked T-DOG up with? Teresa lost her DITCH board, at the skatepark? I didn't even know she had a ditch board. What trucks/wheels/bearings did Lowrie hook up? If any of it is less than 9" wide, those black Tracker Aggros wouldn't have fit anyway. Besides, I only have one left on the front of a Bozi Wedgenose Pintail. The other single Tracker got sold with the other wedgenose at the Harper race in May. Speaking of Trackers, don't you still have those ones with the Ultralite baseplates, Sharon? If I had any shortboard stuff to spare, I would have thrown it in in a minute, but all I have spare is some griptape, axle nuts, speed rings, and bushings. Need any of that for the new "ditch" board? Guess that makes me more of an a-hole than a gentleman. Oh, well.

I'm down to session Saturday morning, if anyone else is interested. Don't you usually work on Saturdays, Sharon? Otherwise I'm sure we'd skate more often like we used to when I was unemployed. I'm REALLY interested in checking out all those westside ditches that I still haven't skated. But any skating will do. Lowrie, if we hook up this weekend I'll let you ride the board for a week and then you can pay me next weekend if you still like it. Sound cool?

I fully spaced, man. To make matters worse, at this actuall moment I am flat bust. But, I have a show on halloween and will call you Nov. 1st. I'll meet you where ever. Sorry....

T. I have a pair of thunder trucks that have a few sessions left in them. If you need something to hold your wheels on that Palmer board. (You know, for the DITCHES.)

Great pictures, Arab.

Happy To Be Together

OK, peeps we all have real life issues but ..no matter what, we'll still have each other. If things are bound to happen, we should and we must share our sk8 equipm'ts to keep the stoke alive. Don't let the stresses of life tear us apart. So just get out there and sk8, posing doesn't count and ...make me proud.

Sk8chics RULE!!! and our armpit drewl.

Whatsamattayou!?!?
On 10/20/2003 K-LEE wrote in from (129.24.nnn.nnn)

Sharon, if I recall correctly, I TRADED you those trucks for other stuff. How much stuff have I just GIVEN you over the years? Maybe if you stopped giving away all the stuff I flowed to you, you'd have some spare stuff to still give away. Don't you have some old 9" Seismics you could give to someone? I don't have any more spare stuff to give.

And, what's this about "Hope your happy! Did someone persuade you to ignore us. Sure seems that way!"????? Are you insinuating something about Nyah? Did you forget that I'm trying to finish up some really hard physics classes and graduate? I already told you I'm only free on the weekends because of school, did you forget that?!?! I don't appreciate the attitude.

To make this ditch related, ummmm, well, Sharon's wasn't ditch related anyway!!! I'm outta here, got a test to study for.......

Hey Lowrie,
I finally hooked up that spare cutdown Bozi wedgenose deck that you like with some RII 150's (w/new Grade 8 kingpin replacements) and some 72a Flashbacks. Still interested?
