80’s videos / curbs / milk crate

July 3rd, 2007

WOW - I watched some old school Powell videos from the 80’s. They are amazing. Almost all the footage is pools, street skating those huige old decks, freestyle, and goofing off. It’s awesome.

I can basically ollie a curb 50% of the time. I’m working on my timing and pop. Next step- ollie this milk crate that showed up in the lot I skate at. Also- I am working on some lip tricks on this parking block. Hope to spend a good part of the 4th out there!

    I run my dog by getting her out on the trails with my bike. My wife thinks I should get a skateboard and have her pull me along on it.
    Sounds really fricking dangerous to me.

    You see the animal chin one yet?

    no I haven’t seen Animal Chin. I dl’d Bones Brigade and about 5 other Powell videos from the 80’s through about 95.

    I think you ought to have your dog pull you around. That sounds dangerous/fun. If your dog is constantly switching directions, then it might get crazy!

    I saw a guy on roller blades letting his dog pull him along on East Campus one day. The dog did not last long before becoming totally exhausted.
