I like stickers......

I am a sticker nerd. I just emptied out my sticker shoebox....I've had some of these for a really long time. Within the skateboard community, stickers were regarded as "currency".A fistful of cool stickers could get you a long way! A lot of these stickers have been given to me over the years, as a gesture of goodwill or whatever. I must admit I am not shy when it comes to asking "Give us some stickers!" I think the oldest ones I have are the BMX ones which I was given when I got to visit the 'Mr. Sticker' factory in California in 1981.The newest are the various Chris Carr related ones, which fellow Skooter Farmer 'Racin' Jason C # 99 won in an auction last year (2009) and then gave to me. Thanks very much Jason!

Go Sideways....


Shots from 2009 season. Going back up to the practice track today to do some more work. Can't wait to finish it and get riding!

Rita Pavone "IL GEGHEGE"



Looking at this song as a potential new Stags cover.

"If ya got a $10 head....get a $10 helmet!"

Actually, those Bucos were almost 50 Dollars in the 60's!!

I hate roller bladers....



Yes I hate rollerbladers, windsurfers and kiteboarders but back in 1920, this was cool. check out the guys style just before the clip finishes.

Point of no return....

Full Frokkul Wheelie.....just about to loop out and land flat on my back. Summercamp, Les Deux Alpes 1998.

Daytona '99 part two



Part Two: Daytona Bike Week 2010 in less than two weeks. Here are a few more shots from our trip in 1999 when we rented a Fat-Boy (motocycle not an obese, teenage gigalo) and met E.K.(will do a more in depth post about meeting him when I got more time)
