clariemont skatepark/b-day ride*more pics and video*
« on: November 26, 2007, 04:05 PM »
Well, what started out as 5 or six oldies and 5 kids riding by ourselves ended up being 30 oldies and 6 kids riding by ourselves.  The riders included: 
Andy Shohara          Ethan Shohara
Tony Murray            Tony's son
Chris Potts              Mike Montgomery
Xavier Mendez        Brad Blanchard (sp)
Dave Voelker          Colton Voelker
Robert Castillo        Harmony Reynolds
Woody Itson           Ron Wilton-not riding
Steve Swope          Hoffman sponsored dude(forgot his name) :-[
Brian Blyther           Ron Mckoy
Todd Anderson
Alvin Mullins and his crew of 5
Lee Reynolds
John Povah
Mike Perenti
Gary Young
and a few others but I'm drawing a blank right now

Blyther


Voelker


Gary Young


Todd Anderson


Alvin Mullins


Mike Montgomery


Lee Reynolds


Brad Blanchard


there are more pics....a lot more...but I still have to load them.  I have a little bit of video to, but I can't seem to figure out how to convert it from avi to mpeg.






Woody can still ride flatland.  Lee killed it in the pool.  Tony Murray has got the bug.....baaaddd.  Todd Anderson still rides with a coaster brake and was pulling variations.  Chris Potts is still super smooth, except for one air in the pool ;D.  Brad Blanchard ripped, brakeless.  The new school riders, Mike, Gary and Mike are just super dialed, words and pictures can say enough.  The oldies preferred the pool.  Gary Young put on a pumping clinic, the pool coping is the only thing that kept him from sliding out of the pool and into orbit :shocked:  I have never seen anyone get soo much speed in a pool.

A huge thanks to Dave Voelker and Xavier for getting in contact with some of the guys, Alvin Mullins and his crew including the photographer that got over 900 pics.  And of course Kevin Lau of Black lightning for giving me a new frame :smitten: and picking up the bill for the skatepark rental and riders :daumenhoch:  way cool Kevin

there will be more pics soon, I still have to load some.
enjoy

small test video


more pics


















more pics and video yet to be loaded, keep checking back.





















pool session :daumenhoch:
Gary Young, Tony Murray, Todd Anderson, Xavier Mendez, me, and 1 of Blythers airs

Andy, that is totally blinding!!! Really cool!

How rad is that one footed X-up of Blythers?!
I was watching some old vids with Brad Blanchard last week, I decided that he is one of my fav 90s riders.

I bet you had a great time, and Im sure people will be talking about your party for years to come.

Lee and I are going to try to do this 3-4 times a year.  We are also going to try and coordinate with Alvin Mullins and John Povah to other parks including the Etnies Park.
John Povah is going to give me a 1/4 pipe for my backyard so I can get more repetitions in :daumenhoch:

Fantastic pics as usual Andy, how you feeling back in the saddle now ?
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

I feel pretty good.  The bike feels good, solid.  but since I only ride 1-2 times a month for 2 hours each time, it feels like I start at the same level everytime and have to re-learn what I did two weeks ago.  I am constantly re-adjusting in mid-air.  I can't seem to just flow, I try to do the same air 5 times but have 5 different results, hang-up, low land, bad body position, foot down etc.  theres no consistency yet. >:(

yo andy
happy belated birthday !!!
pics are awsome, good to see all those guys riding, inspiring to us all..

looking at your vid, i dont think it will take long for you to get some flow back, you are a smooth rider and your skating will have kept your style.. we all have the same problem of not riding enough so progression is slow, but how stoked would we have been to see guys our dads age busting airs bitd ha ha :coolsmiley:

looking forward to more pics when you have time..

cheers
