Skateboard History (385 Posts) Topic Post the hitch... and the rich On 3/15/2007 shapeshifter wrote in from United States  (24.148.nnn.nnn) this one measures 27", they came in solid colors of blue or black from what i've seen. i had a couple exactly like this black one in 1975 also had a few of blue ones of the same size later on. the first skitch hitchcock deck i owned back around 1974 was the 30" with a red and yellow resin swirl. i saw one just like it at moro bay, which belonged to richy carrasco. though i'm not a collector, i was considering not riding the one i just got because it is in pristine condition. after hearing the news i've had a change of heart and believe that this one should be ridden with care and enjoyed to honor the man and his craft.     Rate post 267927 !

I reminded the readers that the actual winner of the 75 Del Mar Freestyle was not Stacy as depicted in the movie. Does this matter? It did to one Flurette Picciolo! Her dad, Steve Picciolo was the true winner of the Del Mar Freestyle and his daughter was glad to see that someone new about this actual history and cared. She cared and that was enough for me. When her dad was about eight, Karl Weber and I used to visit the Picciolos and skate with his older brother Chris, who was on the Southern Hobie Team in Clay Wheel days. We skated all of the hot spots, Belagio, Kenter, Paul Revere and others. The Z-boys were about 5 years old or younger. The area, later called Dogtown was ruled by the Hobie Team skaters before it was named Dogtown and became the home of the Z-boys. Steve was an original, and that is true history!

On 3/5/2007 PG wrote in from United States  (64.12.nnn.nnn) Here is Chris Chaput in South Africa spreading the stoke. I believe he was showing the locals his favourite pics of Ellen Oneal, but maybe Chris can tell us the "real" story?     Rate post 267346 !

Shouldn't that earn me a .5 bonus discount in my next time against you head to head? I think so. BTW, I still have the board I am riding in that picture, stuck up in the rafters of the garage. In fact I rode that deck at the Farm in the vintage in 05.     Rate post 266928 !

I was there for the Hang Ten event at Carlsbad. So many cool memories like screaming at the top of my lungs as my mentor, Big Bad H came back to beat Alva in the Slalom final. I rode for Brewer then so I hung out with Mentor # 2 BP a lot too. Very cool to be able to call guys like H and Piercy "Mentors" but it was true. Both guys took me under thier respective wings and turned a 15 year old kid from University City into a pretty decent racer. It didn't hurt that every Sunday at La Costa was like a final 16 at the Worlds. Anybody and everybody that was fast showed up. When you convert that pic please send it to me, My bros would get a kick out of seeing it again.     Rate post 266771 !

It has you on the first page of the piece, racing Steve Sherman. Piercy features prominently, of course. I need to reduce the file size and then I'm gonna make it available on the web.     Rate post 266643 !
