glad you’re having sooo much fun… say hi to rohan for me.
on another note surfer/skater mike weed passed last week.
damn
first jay now mike ?
I always loved that photo …was it a warren bolster one ?
its a kelpie , herb …my neighbours .
meg.
she is 77 and wants to chase sticks all day [the kelpie , that is …not my neighbour ]
an owned a blue heeler for 21/22 years…great dogs !!!
yup…just passin’ thru …
love that you’re still skating !
herb
… cheers mate !
and …
I have a " pole cam ", too , now ( home made ! [see go pro setups thread] )
maybe 'RDM ’ Rohan and I can get this ’ in the ditch ', and get a **movie clip **or two , eh ?!
I hope so …
the beauty of the pole is …being able to change it from hand to hand quickly , too …
I normally dress more respectably than this , by the way …that’s my fin foiling gear , I’d just finished an hours’ worth …
… so … off with the mask and gloves , and onto the skatey !
When I was in west oz , very near the beach , it was …into boardies , and paddle out . Or bodysurf .
It is forecast 32 degrees there today , while it struggles to hit 15 here , today
[ 32 degrees C is around 93 degrees , for the fahrenheit dinosaurs ]…whereas … 15 degrees celsius , is about 60 degrees fahrenheit [ ?!!] … brrrrrr … ]
…i usually dress down for skateboarding.

Herb,
Love all those old days shots.
Brings me back to my skinny, fearless days of skating.
You and I have probably skated a lot of the same spots.
Maybe even skated together.
Last time I was at my moms, I saw an old shot of me doing a backside wheeler at Carlsbad Skateparks Pro-bowl.
God I loved that over-vet wall in the snake-run there. (Frontside)
Rector shorts, Road-riders, long-hair and all the works.
Classic.
Good stuff!
Barry,the shot above(early backside air) was what mike rector used for awhile on his facebook page…quite an honor for me.
next time i’m down your way …we need to meet…i’ll buy lunch.(below guy grundy and myself).
