skateboarding will just turn you into a surfer and vice versa.........lame

blackies wave checker/nose-riding/donut shop cruiser..........

power flex 5`s.................post loose bearings

before krypto`s and mid eighties shaped skateboards, there were metaflex wheels. they were the first gen after the urethane orangey/clear wheels that changed the sport. the wider ones were the dragsters and the ones that were later adapted by modern style wheels were called easy riders........

a few of my originals..................the second one from the left was the `barracuda`. i had an original zephyr that a fat guy in seventh grade broke in half. he said my stepdad was a cheap-ass and bought me a defective board. fuckin fat ass trying to make my mom`s husband look bad......

i clearly was into burning iron crosses on my boards.......

white clay ward hawthornes, hobie then made the white super surfers.............

metaflex easyriders...................................

power paws...............

FOR ALL THE LOCAL SKATERS THAT SKATE THE OUTDOOR VOLCOM PARK BY THE FAIRGROUNDS.......IF YOU TURN OFF OF NEWPORT BLVD. AND MAKE A RIGHT ONTO ARLINGTON BY THE VOLCOM PARK, YOU CAN DIG STRAIGHT DOWN NEXT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THERE IS A 4 1/2 FOOT DEEP PERFECT HALF PIPE DRAINAGE DITCH THE HAS A PERFECT BOWL ON THE END CLOSEST TO NEWPORT BLVD. THEY FILLED IT IN WHEN THE CITY STARTED CATCHING KIDS SKATING IT AND BOARDS WERE FLYING OUT INTO THE TRAFFIC. WE HAD IT FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS, 5TH,6TH AND 7TH GRADE. STILL TRYING TO FIND THE PICTURES GUYS HAD TAKEN OF IT BACK THEN. FUCK IT. BOUGHT MY FIRST URETHANES AT HANIFINS SURF SHOP WHEN HE WAS FIRST ON 22ND ST, THE STOREFRONT NEXT TO THE ALLEY. I THINK IT`S A NAILSHOP NOW. ACTUALLY, PAT HANIFIN GAVE THEM TO ME FOR CLEANING UP AROUND THE SHOP. PAT SOLD EVERTHING AND BECAME A COMEDIAN AFTER APPEARING ON THE GONG SHOW AND THINKING HE WAS FUNNY.... HE ACTUALLY WAS.

PERFECT..............

VODKA, SUGAR FREE RED BULL............

THERE ONCE WAS A TIME WHEN I RODE A MOTORCYCLE. IT MADE ME FEEL COOL OR AT LEAST LIKE I WAS ON THE `INSIDE`. I RODE EXTRA FAST AND HAD SOME CRASHES. PEOPLE SAID, `WHAT A RETARD` AND WOULD ALWAYS SEEM KINDA NERVOUS TALKING TO ME. NOW THAT I DON`T RIDE MOTRCYCLES ANYMORE, I`M TOTALLY THE REAL ME. I READ BOOKS ALL DAY. TO MOST, THAT IS BORING. TO ME, THAT IS FUN. I PRETTY MUCH SUCK AT SKATEBOARDING NOW. LATELY, I`VE BEEN RIDING MOSTLY OLD LONGBOARDS WHEN I SURF...... I`M THE BIGGEST FUCKIN KOOK. I`M REALLY INTO SMALL, OLD TINY CERAMIC VASES. I DRIVE AROUND PHOTOGRAPHING, WHAT I THINK IS, COOL ARCHITECTURE. I`M SLOWLY FALLING INTO MYSELF..... THE TALIBAN THREATENED TO STOP POLIO SHOTS TO CHILDREN IF WE DON`T STOP DRONING AND KILLING TALIBAN LEADERS THAT ARE PLOTTING TO KILL OTHERS. POLIO IS LITERALLY WIPED OUT IN MOST OF THE WORLD AND THE U.S. IS THE LEADERS HANDING OUT MONEY FOR THE VACINE. I DON`T KNOW WHAT I HATE MORE, RELIGION OR JUST PLAIN MALICIOUS PEOPLE....COULD BE A TIE. LET`S START A CLUB....

THERE IS SO MUCH SPINNING THESE NEXT 10 DAYS I`M ALREADY SAYING `GOOD BYE` TO MY WIFE AND KIDS..............

SO MUCH HAS GONE INTO THIS SHOW THAT THE AVERAGE PERSON DOESN`T UNDERSTAND.......

THIS GUY IS WIPED OUT. I HEARD HIS WIFE IS LEAVING HIM. AT LEAST SHAKE HIS HAND AND SAY `THANKS` FOR THE SHOW.

GO............

DRINK.................

I KEEP HEARING STUFF ABOUT DAYTONA, STURGIS, EVEN LAUGHLIN......... WAKE UP! BORN FREE IS THE BIGGEST AND MOST SUCCESSFUL SHOW ON THE WEST COAST!

I DON`T KNOW IF I`M GONNA GO THIS YEAR.................
