Hi,

Does anyone have or remember a pic of David Slade down a wall ride done a flight of about 5 steps, sure it was from a street jam somewhere in the north. On an orange Performer if my memory is correct.

I managed to save all my mags but think my Mum chucked a lot of posters!

Its a rad pic, so hope someone has a scan

Am sure it was from Invert or Freestyle.

Thanks
Fraser

awesome,
   that hat he is wearing was knitted by my mom for Ged Wells who was friends with Dave, his skate clothing company was called INSANE and was from the isle of wight, that was the only hat that was made with the insane skate man on it.

cool to see it, and that is an awesome wallride

I've said it before and I'll say it again........it always saddens me that Dave, Sid and Shaun Allison never got the credit they deserved for their street riding.

All the plaudits seem to go to Nick Philip and Dave Currey etc. I agree that the aforementioned were pioneers, but so were Dave, Sid and Shaun.

They rocked and should be given more credit for what they did.

There, I've got it out of my system now, lol!

Hahaha, I just think they all deserve MUCH more credit than they get!

It's all about the North - South divide, that apparently didn't exist!

Dave was never the smoothest rider but he was a rad fooker full stop. I'll dig out some old pictures later and let you see what I mean. Dave was busting 7-8' airs in 1983, which by anyones standards is fooking high.

Shaun Allison was mental, I've seen him Abubaca telephone boxes from off a wall about half the size and then dropping back to the flat bottom, insane! Sid was BB grinding benches before anyone else had ever thought about doing it!

I hope all's well anyway Chris, hopefully we'll catch up before the years out, lol!

Here's some of the pics I promised, loads more when I get time.

There's a couple from one of mine and Dave's trips to Southsea, loads more of them kicking around somewhere. The others are from the YMCA in Sheffield where we used to ride in the indoor gym/hall upstairs. Like I said, he was getting BIG air in the early days but not many people saw him. The windows in the YMCA are 7', Martin Bernstein who is stood on top of the ramp is over 6' tall, in the black and white pic, Dave was boosting over 7', remember, this was 1983 ffs, rad as fook! I've also seen him footplant the wood above the windows which is about 10'........like I said, 1983, nutter!!!

I was fortunate enough to ride with these boys.......very talented and down to earth peeps, had some bizarre times with dave and still have a letter he sent me in 1987 when I was in edinburgh.....very very sladesque. Daves riding was both a bit mad and very creative, remember the first time I met him was at some crazy farmers field demo and he was riding what could only be described as a piece of shit with no brakes yet was hitting about 5 foot on a rickety quarter. Sean just had bonkers ability to pop onto stuff and boost...........wallride wi nowt taken out..... etc etc. and whats all the fuss about street riding huh??? kerb endo anybody???    :daumenhoch:

and just cause the zines didnt love em doesnt mean they dont get the respect they are due....

Aye, not bad pal, how's you?

Knee's healing well, plenty of physio but hopefully I'll be riding by the end of the year.

It was the big ramp that I broke my feckin ankle on, gggrrrrrr! I've seen Dave, and Lee Brown too, busting big air on the big ramp. Dave well over the wood like you say. Probably 9' I reckon.  I'm just trying to remember who's FB page I saw a decent picture of Dave from Alfreton.......I'm gonna go and have a look as it's bugging me. If I find it I'll stick it up.
