I decided that for my 40th birthday I would reserve Clairemont skatepark. One of the main reasons for it was because my son has a hard time riding at the park when there are 50 skaters and 20 bmxers going in every direction. It was going to be just me and my son, Voelker and his son, Tony Murray, Lee Reynolds and his daughter, Mike Perenti, Chris Potts and a few other current riders. Well.....it appears that it may turn into an old school get together. Damon Nichols emailed me and said he would like to go and is going to invite Tony Mackenzie and Paul Wright. If all the other people show up this ride will end up being a who's who of 80's skatepark riding. :shocked: The event will happen November 24th, I will try to get some pics up by the 25th and video to follow. I'm really stressing about this now.

cool andy, i bet i only get a bag of crips for my 40th, mind you i got years to go yet till then
-
Sounds cool Andy, should have a good time.
Just make sure you get Damon back on a ramp please, I was asking him if he still rides and he doesn't so we need to get him riding again and back in the air.
Have a fantastic time mate and make sure you get some pics and video footage.
All the best.

You are definately welcome to join us Dan. Let me know if you are coming though, I have to add you to the list for the park and lunch afterwards.
P.S. I just received confirmation, Fiola, Xavier Mendez, and Blyther are coming for sure. Dominguez is probable, I haven't heard if Hugo and Oscar Gonzales can make it for sure. Kevin Lau from Hawaii is coming and bringing a sweeeet new frame and fork.

Andy, that sounds so so rad. Funny how things snowball for the better sometimes.
Xavier Mendez! Ive been trying to remember his name for the last few weeks. I ran into him in a bike shop in the Uplands area of LA in 1991. I just went into a shop to look at BMX parts and he was working in there. I ended up chatting to him about Domingues.
-
That sounds so cool Andy.
I will actually be in the States on the 24th, but unfortunately at the other end of the country in NJ. >:(
Can't wait to see the pics and vids. Sounds like it's gonna be a blast!

Thanks Denny, that would be much appreciated.
Kevin Lau, my long time Hawaii riding buddy, told me that he is going to sponsor this ride and pick up the bill. He made up a flyer and sent it out to a few bmx mags.

I hope you have a great time on that ride as it looks the business :smitten:. Don't forget to post pics, and plenty of them >:D. All those lgends in one place, I wish I could get over there to watch and enjoy :).

Thats crazy. Legends one and all. Looking forward to the video of this one :)
Hope it goes well :daumenhoch:

My birthday is actually on the 25th, but they don't rent the park out on Sundays. At least that give me one day to recover before work on Monday.
The list of people keeps growing, there will probably be 25 riders if I count the 5 kids. The snowball turned into an avalanche, thanks to Xavier and Voelker.

Just make sure you get Damon back on a ramp please, I was asking him if he still rides and he doesn't so we need to get him riding again and back in the air.
All the best.

Hey Andy - really looking forward to seeing you...it's been too long. Paul's checking his work schedule but thinks he'll be there and I'll be driving down with Tony. Gonna be a blast from the past.
Nice one! :daumenhoch:
Daz - I'll get on a bike and have a spin....I'm a bit stiff these days, but I'm game for a laugh.

Nice one mate - go for it!
Don't forget to get some photos.
Later.
Daz.
P.S. Got a couple of old Mod tracks I've dug out for you and turned in to MP3's, "Time for Action" and "My World" by Secret Affair. Awesome tracks, you may already have them but if you haven't mate I'll email them over to you. :daumenhoch:

Andy, Happy Birthday my friend! Wish I could have been there. Hopefully we can meet up at another So. Cal based ride. Yeah Damon, you need to get riding again now that there are all these parks. Maybe one of those Elysian Park show weekends.
Man, that Black Lightning bike is looking nice.
-
Happy birthday Andy :)
-
yes andy have a good relax today and eat nice stuff :)
happy birthday dan

Thanks guys, yesterday was awesome. Lee was getting rad in the pool. Everyone rode well, but Lee pulled a lookback can that blew me away. John Povah rode and took some rad pics of everyone. There were not any good riding pictures on my camera so I will have to gather the pictures from a few other people that were there. Gary Young, Mike Perenti and Mike Montgomery are just dialed in. Brian Blyther showed up an hour late and his second air in the pool was 5' out. A guy sponsored by Hoffman bikes showed up to ride (forgot his name :-[) and blasted huge airs. Tony Murray is riding with a freewheel now. Tony, Lee, and Chris Potts are going back to the skatepark today. Alvin Mullins brought down a cool crew of riders and a camera-man that took more than 900 pics :shocked: There is more to tell, I will post a new thread when I get more riding pictures and video converted and loaded.
