Then: Holy s#@!e! Now: Holy Mutherplumbin' s#@!e on an ice cream cone! All the best parts of freestyle and street, none of the bulls#@!, and 1000 times the style. Always: Genius If you come to Portland (Oregon) to skate, Rodney, you'll see me in the crowd. I'm the one who gets so stoked off your skating that I have to pull out my inhaler! Literally! Ha ha!

Randifer,
here is a pic of steve cathey doin' a christy. http://www.oldschoolskateboarding.com/history/70s/freestyle/pages/christie.htm If you find a copy of the video "downhill motion" you can see one in action. I believe the link to the picture I sent is from the same session as the video. I could never do a christy myself..

Renè, good seeing you today. Andrew is one of the most talented all around skaters I've ever met. When I mean all around... it means EVERYthing having to do with skateboarding. From curb slappies, street, freestyle, to backyard pools, skateboards, miniramps, to slalom, and downhill racing. He's got it all covered. Great attitude, too.
'Tis always good to see people that're that passionate and embrace skateboarding that much. Good luck to you all at the Worlds event.

The first PAID Skateboard demo I ever did - was in 1975 at 'TURNSTYLE' DEPARTMENT STORES, in Chicago, for X-Caliber.
-your photo reminds me of that ! - - people with shopping bags and stuff in their hands!

That's ptetty funny Rene! I never new what it was called and never even remembered seeing it. I kind of learned it by accident then started using as part of a routine.
I later called it a Nose Dive cuz, when I would turn my head to look behind me i'd sometimes scrape my nose.
There's a shot of me doing it on the link. It is a video/photo capture shot from a commerial in 87. I'll have to post some older ones of it when I get em scanned for ya!

Someday I'llfind the time to learn how to post a pick direct.

Why is Freestyle so un-heard of in England?

Hi, I'm Mike and I've been doing Freestyle for 5 years now. Everyone I skater I see in and around London are all into street, it's like Freestyle and Old skool, the beginings of skating seem to be dying out. What I think would be ideal to bring back the traditions of skating, would be a competition held in London for Freestyle and Old skool skaters. This would show people the stylish side of skateboarding, where balance, idea's and style are really seen in skating.
