From the film archive

Just scanned some of my old shots. I got kind of inspired by a couple of nice websites I've discovered lately:
http://oldschoolskateboarding.com/ and http://www.antigravitypress.com/

Here they are, 1978 - I had just got my drivers license... The ramp shots are from the Shifman's quarterpipe. The Hobie team had just came through Madison and we were inspired. I could barely do a kickturn. The park shots are from Biddles in Milwaukee. They had these goofy ramps called Skateballs that made riding an 8 foot wide halfpipe into a pinball like experience with flashing targets and scoreboards- STOOPID!
