Here's a 1977 issue - Tommy Ryan on the cover of this one - Inside this issue - Arnie Hogue and I got our photo's in this one.

Fun time! I won a surfboard and some stickers :( I kinda feel like Kareem Abdul Jabbar :) Well, as my friends keep reminding me, I made some history and a name. Now WHAT?

Enrolled at San Diego State, got a job at PB Surf shop and lived to surf with hopes to get a skateboarding career someday(still working on that too). I enjoyed skating barefoot everywhere. Being of samoan decent, my genetics seem to support tuff feet. That pic was after a 40mph crash at la costa where I only had shorts on. Speed wobbles led to a spectacular crash where I remained conscious enough to spread the road rash wealth evenly over various parts of my body. Needless to say, I was barefoot during that crash. And of course a day after it happened, we got the best swell we've had the entire year and yep.. you guessed it, I surfed my brains out with festering wounds and sometime during that next week Skateboarder Mag was interviewing me, got the pics and suddenly me feet were the talk of the globe. As of today, I have a pedicure at least once a month. They are pampered now. Cheers and thanks for asking! cYa     Rate post 264949 !

I remember the same picture also appeared in a book called "Hot Skateboarding" which was a great book for the day as I recall, a lot good info and very well written. Its been about 20 years since I last saw a copy, so it might read like a kooks guide to skating now. Maybe I will find a used copy somewhere someday. Was that normally how your feet looked or was that after a crash? Paul     Rate post 264947 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0) Who's Hot? Who Was Hot? Who Cares?

The real champs of the sport are the one's still promoting the sport today and are still worth a damn on their boards. Hats' off to Chaput, Coleman, Rene' and the rest of you skate monkeys still skating it up. As time permits, I'll get to scanning and poppin up some golden years stuff. Adam!

On 1/25/2007 Rene CANNONBALL Carrasco wrote in from United States  (71.134.nnn.nnn) =================================== Cliff - It's good to see you on this Forum - You got a lotta great stuff to share here. That would be cool if we can meet-up again in the tight slalom event @ this years Encinitas Open. Dang, .....I wanted to defeat the silver fox ! I thought you would like this pic: Rene....and....Cliff....@ 2006 Encinitas Open. Photo: Courtesy of Malakai Kingston and Erik Basil @ SilverfishLongboarding.com Maybe this year. As far as competing in my first 'organized' skateboard race - it was 1969 & 1970 in Garden Grove, Ca. I won them both years. I then competed in the Worlds @ the L.A. Sports Arena - ( I took this INSPECTION STICKER off the bottom of one of my boards. ) I made the semi-finals in the Mens Slalom Event there, but my brother David got real sick at the race - so I took him and Richy back home to Orange County. We were racing on that BIG WOODEN BAHNE RAMP that day. It was wierd - every guy fell down, that I raced - that ramp was slick. I thought that ramp was cool, though. My brother David and I entered this 1975 Contest - ( This is where we met Ty Page, and Chris Yandall. ) My brothers Richy, David and I competed in the 1975 CARSON SKATEBOARD CONTEST - someone told me Chris Chaput was in the boys division - at that Contest. My first big win racing - was in 1976 in the Southern Calif. Downhill Speed Championship @ one of the first Skateparks around at that time, called ESCAPE COUNTRY - up in the hills of Rancho Santa Margarita! Pro Surfer Legend, the late Tom Padaca, who ran the race - gave everyone a chance to beat my record -if they wanted, -so the next week - my brother David came back and KILLED MY TIME and won ! I was CHAMP for one week ! ....Oh well. It was around this time ( 1975 - 1976 )that my brothers Richy and David started to pass me up - as far as skateboarding talent goes, Seriously ! I've always put those guys skateboarding ability above mine ! No 'Problemo' there ! -ha ha! I've been trying to catch-up ever since ! Yikes ! A lot of skaters seem to have never ridden - or seen ESCAPE COUNTRY, yet, it was up in those hills, in OC, -and if I'm not mistaken, was built right before Carlsbad Skatepark ! 1976 Escape Country Skatepark flyer - If you read Rhyn Noll's latest Skateboard History Book - entitled: 'SKATEBOARDING PAST PRESENT FUTURE' - there are a bunch of photo's in there of Escape Country Skatepark ! Cliff - Here's one for ya .... Below: 2004 - David Carrasco watching Cliff Coleman finishing his last run @ WLAC Giant Slalom Event. Blurry photo: By Cannonball. M4RC10, Joe Lehm, Edwin, and Road Riders 4 - ...thanks for the good words - Here's some more contribution to this Forum. I recently made a Photo SlideShow of my bro. - Dave 'Cowboy' Carrasco's skate career, of what I could find ! Real COOL photo's ! CLICK HERE TO SEE ! More later........ Take care, & God bless ya, ..............-Rene CANNONBALL Carrasco. =============================================     Rate post 264930 !
