1975 USSA contest at Jack Murphy Stadium
On 8/18/2005 Mike Mitchell wrote in from United States  (65.255.nnn.nnn)

Time flys! 30 years ago at Jack Murphy Stadium, the USSA skateboard contest! Anyone out there remember the Pipeline Skateboard team? Aluminum boards, s#@!ty trucks and wheels?

I was on that team, 6-8 of us, all from the old neighborhood (South San Diego/ Imperial Beach, CA): Jerry Lynn, Alex Yepiz, Wesley Webster, myself, a few others whos names escape me. Any of you know us?

45yr old now, still riding (Sector9 longboard) with my 3 teenaged kids.

Daze gone by!

Mike

Cracking the Lie
On 8/5/2005 EBasil wrote in from United States  (63.206.nnn.nnn)

Some of the skaters Mike Purpose wrote about are in the Bruce Brown surf/skate films, just released on DVD. Brown filmed the Hobie & Makaha skate teams in the late 50's and early 60's, I guess... Guess what they were doing?

The Z-boys were/are great riders, anyway.

I remember Mike Purpose back in the day, he was a pretty gnarly surfer.

good movie
On 7/20/2005 hugh r wrote in from United States  (24.48.nnn.nnn)

I finally saw the movie last night... took my teenage son with me. I had prepared myself to dislike it, based mostly on the terrible marketing trailers that played over and over and over again. I was sure the movie would stink!

I was very pleasantly surprized and really enjoyed this movie! Nicely done... nice charactor development... filmed well... over all this is a good little movie... and my 16 year old skater son dug it too!

I will buy more than one copy when it comes out on dvd... HR

New old school
On 7/15/2005 MG wrote in from United States  (216.52.nnn.nnn)

I'll tell ya one thing, there are now legions of young long hairs with clay wheel loose balled relics from ebay injuring themselves on the banks at Revere. At first I thought it was just a couple isolated retro freaks, but I've seen group after group of them. Hadn't watched people trying to find loose bearings for thirty years.

So that's it? No more discussion? WTF?

When do we start bickering about the DVD release?

What about the bonus features?

How do you unlock the Easter Eggs?

that's last weeks' rank / previous week / name / box office last week / total box office / average per screen / number of screens / tomatometer rating

it wasn't on this week's chart which means the run is over for all practical purposes

ok, I am a 44 year female who never even HEARD of Dogtown or any of these guys b4 this movie. Sure, I knew a few sk8er boyz when I was a teen, but...what is it about this movie? I am so hooked. I loved it and I now own "Dogtown & Z boys" and love it even more!!! The energy, the scrappiness, its like the Dead End Kids with wheels. I have seen it 4 times. i wish I could have been there....I am not saying we are draining our pool, but the ZBoys are my heroes~~~~

On 6/23/2005 slim wrote in from United States  (69.110.nnn.nnn)

We used to do it all the time but not hanging on to the back! We'd use the rear corner. For example, in the pic below, if michael j. fox was a goofy foot he'd be on the right side of the car facing it, and his trailing (left) would be hanging on to that corner somewhere (easy on a pickup truck). That way you are behind the wheels of the car so you can't get runover, and you are on the side so you don't smack into the car if they stop suddenly. Gotta watch out for the turns of course but that's easy.

Like most of the things I managed to somehow survive from my youth, I don't recommend doing it at all. (i saw my son making his little sister tow him yesterday though - he on skate, she on bike - so it's already started...)
