CRAPPY WHEELS
On 2/17/2005 HACKETT - BLACK LEATHER RACING wrote in from United States  (68.71.nnn.nnn)

No sk8brd41, your thinking about EMOTION WHEELS
2 different duros, S-L-O-W.

The fastest wheels back in the day were Tunnel rocks and
Wings wheels; those things flew...

Power Paws

Hey Hackett, weren't Power Paws those crappy wheels that were two different colors and two different durometers? Those were sooo soft, how did you slide those things?

Wait till you see what I found...
On 2/17/2005 EE wrote in from United States  (4.64.nnn.nnn)

I just went thru some archives. And I found some shots of Mr.Olson just after he won I think the big O. He is holding 100 dollar bills in one hand in plexi glass, his other arm is broken holding his board. And his tongue is in some hot trophy girls mouth. As for Mr. Hack I found a shot of you and Piercy wearing tight pants and one of you looks excited. I have to find a way to make slide to jpeg.

Ok, Ok, Alright already!!

AND THE WINNER IS:

EE!! (Ed Economy)

"1975, Hackett, Bert, Z-flex, Bennett, Power Paw, Kenter School"

Good guess E- Email me your address, I just got some BLR tees in
XL and they are S-I-C-K!

Side note: That deck is a rare red Z-Flex Kick tail that I took the Sure Grip
trucks off and replaced with the Bennets. The Power Paw Wheels sucked. I should have keep the RRII's on it; or went with the 4's-

Not bad guessing on this forum; I will have to dig out some more from the deep archive...

Thanks, Steve

More on Suzi Quatro's Bro
On 2/17/2005 Craigo wrote in from United States  (68.250.nnn.nnn)

As it turns out, Suzi Quatro's Bro lives across the street from DANFORTH. According to Bill, the place gets raided regularly.

Fadell, good luck on Sunday!

Bert Boy
On 2/17/2005 EE wrote in from United States  (4.64.nnn.nnn)

My only corrections could be Paul Revere has one house right behind the big back wall. Where Kenter has houses all along the bank, so could be either. Zephyr's always had x-caliper trucks or sure grip small 4 hole truck mount where early Z-flex was the same board as a zephyr but they ran early 3 hole bennetts with a solid molded deck rather than the 3 piece strips. The wheels could and should be road rider # 2's The picture could be 75-or 76 because this is when it was going off. Hey the shoes are vans I give up....

Anyone notice how twisted his front foot is compared to the angle his lower leg is at? Ah, to be young and agile again...

Pic
On 2/17/2005 Sk8brd41 (Steve S) wrote in from United States  (199.46.nnn.nnn)

The deck looks like a Zephyr, the trucks look like Bennetts and the move is a bert. The person and the bank looks familiar but I can't place them. Is that you Hackett? Is that Paul Revere school? Road Riders? 1976?

Just thought I'd try

Steve S.

I MADE IT!
On 2/17/2005 HACKETT - BLACK LEATHER RACING wrote in from United States  (68.71.nnn.nnn)

Thanks for the props jjackson, JBH, Katie and Steve...

Yes, I made it. Twice. This shot is actually the SECOND time I did
it. The first time the photographer missed the shot; and I busted this deck.
Then I did it again (what you see here) and made sure to land directly over the
trucks as the deck was cracked from the first BOMB!


A Black Leather Racing Tee and a set of KHIRO bushings for the first person
to guess who this is; what year; the move; the place; and the board, wheels and deck.

Good Luck!

HACKETT - BLR

Hackett's drop
On 2/17/2005 JBH wrote in from United States  (165.134.nnn.nnn)

Amazing photo from an old Thrasher (1986?). The drop itself is super-burly, and the timing of the photo is impeccable. Check that midair foot placement (both hers and his). Henri Cartier-Bresson would be proud.

And did he land it? My name's not on the forum, so it's not my place to say. But I've seen "Future Primitive" enough times to know...

Hackett,

That picture of Olson on Ricky's couch in Oregon brings back some ugly memories. As I recall you bounced that shoe off his head to put an end to his snoring....Stubbs, what's your secret because booze, pain killers and ear plugs just didn't work for me that evening.

Below: A young Olson pulling a Smith grind that is so old it's new again at a popular Long Beach skate spot.
