way back when Thrasher was on newsprint…there was a picture of a ditch named Junior’s in a SouthEast article. it said it was in Athens. turns out it was in Augusta or something.
but that didn’t stop us from finding a ditch, and naming it Junior’s.
it endured the punk rock spray painters of the 80’s.
the no parking signs still line the roadway.
we skated it on and off for years.

weeds grew into the ditch…except on the edges I ground clean.

wezel brought out the weedeaters and stuff and got-R-done.
as the UGA grew on the east side…so did the sewage stank.
soon, it became unbearable to drive by, much less stop and skate.
here’s a Junior’s Ditch video from 2003.
Josh, Ryan and me…

something i read recently…
“I’m just obsessed with the ride. Snowboarding allowed me to be the skater I couldn’t be, and skateboarding made me feel not so fragile when I surfed.”-Mike Rowe of Hooked Surfboards, Southern Shores NC…from an ESM article.

The community and TNT Skateboarding have suffered a great loss
today due to a fire at the skatepark on the morning of 1/23/10. Our
upcoming fundraiser event is now more important than ever to save our
community’s skatepark.
Please stay tuned for updates and plans to
resurrect your skatepark.

Ian Brussack had a little mishap at Zion…busted his Spleen and had to go get emergency surgery.

He should be coming home from the Hospital soon, and I hope to see him shredding the GNAR in the near future.

(at least he didn’t slice his head off, with those knife edge boards lining the wallride!!!)

patio’s history.

Friday nights in the early 80’s were often spent hanging out at the skating rink, listening to The Sugar Hill Gang.

Friday nights in the 90’s were a good time for a little 40Watt retro-disco, getting down to The Sugar Hill Gang.

my first Friday night in 2010 was spent hanging out at a skateramp, dialing my inverts and listening to The Sugar Hill Gang.

Kaden and Kai Campbell skated at The King of the Groms qualifier at Progressive skatepark in Canton. Kaden placed second place in expert mini-ramp, second place in expert bowl and seventh place in intermediate street. Kai placed eleventh in beginner mini-ramp, third in beginner bowl and sixth in beginner street. There were 91 kids entered in the contest and both boys qualified for the finals in Minnesota for all three events.

have fun, be smart…see ya’ next year.
consider yer alternatives. everyone’s got Friday off, right? you gonna use it, or lose it…

We’ll be up at Cataloochee in the morning…wake&enjoy New Years Day sliding the empty slopes, while America wakes up with a crappy hangover.
uh-huhhhh.

hope Santa stuffed yer’stocking…

Down here in Palm Beach County, My Christmas morning weather is 80 degrees…76 in the ocean. There’s been a strong SouthEast windchop, chest-shoulder high…but today, the wind is turning offshore, and there should be a nice long-period North groundswell coming along. woohoo is correct, my friend.

contest runs dec. 8-20…whenever the waves are right.(today was freakin excellent). Hawaii is 6hrs behind us, so they’re still surfing until our evening time…check it out.

this 7-ply deck is made of 9 pieces. the bottom sheet is 2 pieces, and there’s a middle 2-pc ply that’s half blue wood and half regular wood.

I find the use of recycled wood scraps and then coating the deck with so much pretty paint it looks like an M&M…well, it’s LAME. There’s some lower-cost decks using recycled wood scraps, but to do it on a high price deck, (I think) is being deceptive.

On the other hand, this deck continues to get ridden hard, and hasn’t broken yet…so the puzzle-pieced board is okay???

so i was watching some south park…and this commercial comes on with a surfing clip…and I’ve seen it before, but only watched the surfing viddy…so anyway, this time i realize it says “by Tim Nackashi“…(tim is an Olde Sunday SPOA regular, now living in the CALI)

turns out it’s a commercial for Flip Video thingees.

so I’m stoked for Tim, out there getting waves…and showing his viddy on the TV.

ex-cellent.
