I just found a few negatives of the jam, and few more negatives of the regular weekend sessions.  I will get them developed and posted.  I also found some negatives of the KOS at del mar in 1985, and KOS pipeline finals 85.  I wonder what happened to the actual photographs.  oh yeah, found some negatives of the chingford jam as well. :daumenhoch:

andy Shohara.. sure you got style.  Great pics. I bet you could still do it again if you got back into it.

I'm just about as good as i was back in 88. Could only manage about 2 inches of air then, and sure enough, thats all i can do now... :LolLolLolLol:

Dean Rush's Air!!!! Fecking Nut case!!! and i think that's "SEAL" at the bottom, isnt it Andy???

Title: Re: old school pics
Post by: andy619 on April 24, 2006, 02:32 PM

it is "seal".  I am pretty sure I have more riders on the negatives that didn't get developed yet.  I know I have some shots from the party that night in the barn.  The bands, Mon's cider, and all of the riders and skaters that created the tent city in the field by the ramp made for some fun memories to last a lifetime.

Andy Shohara  what a legend, I remember meeting Andy on a cross channel ferry back in 1986 while going on my schools ski trip. We were sitting in the onboard lounge when my mate jumped out of his seat going mental it's only bloody Andy Shohara he shouted across the room  :LolLolLolLol:.Andy had plenty of time for everyone and managed to sign a few scraps of paper for us  :4_17_5:

Lets recreate those days with a ramp jam in Bill's back garden.  Bright coloured surf wear will be essential. invites to Eric steel, Zoid etc :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

How good would that be...............ZOID screaming his dolset tones through a PA, people smashing into the woodwork, the sounds of paramedics sirens, the cheers as we all push each other higher and higher!!! Fecking Brill, we should find an outdoor ramp somewhere, camp out (Not like PK radman) in tents, get our own band together to play round a fire in the evening, get someone to make there own vats of cider and have an absolute riot! be just like those jams all over again!!!!! Anyone know of an outdoor ramp where such a gig could take place????

Title: Re: old school pics
Post by: RADHAB on April 25, 2006, 11:54 AM

Its probably a backwards nose manual!!!! You should try an Endo like that though..........i'll have the camera ready for you at Bones....Pic of a lifetime i reckon!

I thought that you would appreciate that pic more than anyone. :daumenhoch:
Adam started the trick with an endo to front wheel hop.  Then in one motion, puts both feet on the front wheel, one foot on each side of his forks and continued to hop on his front wheel.  Then he would kick up his feet over his head like the pic, stall for a second or so, and drop his feet back down to his front wheel again and continue to hop.  From there he could go to other tricks and variations, roll-out, cherry picker etc...etc..
He was a very good flatlander for the time and could ride vert as well.  Adam is the guy that first took me to Joes ramp in Hawaii.
His other hand is on the seat, his hand moved to the seat at the same time that his feet moved from the pedals to front wheel.

Post by: theRuler on April 25, 2006, 02:49 PM

ah i get it
start off with woody hops (hand is on the seat then)
then do a handstand on the seat!

i will try that . . .

tops pics mate

i'd like to see more of this guy
there are so many forgotten flatland moves. some were really hard, and innovative

Dean Rush, this was not pretty.  Everyone stopped riding for a bit and when we did start riding it was with full padding and lids.
