Old riding pictures

Around 3 years ago I fucked up while upgrading my computer and accidentally erased all of my stuff. Years of pictures were lost with the click of a button. I gave up looking for the photos for a while but then remembered that my friend Sebastian had most of my pictures backed up. Heres a few of the riding photos I thought would be funny to post, but theres a ton more. Most of these are from 2003-2005.

The man that saved my photos. Sebastian – Fufanu on the 5 foot quarter back railing during the first contest at the Ben Soto skatepark circa 2005. I think to this day he is the only one to do this. Too bad he gave up riding for studying.

Augie – Flipwhip over the big box at the Ben Soto skatepark contest of 2005.

I could not believe this picture when I saw it. Little Mike when he was still little. Little Mike blew away the competition in the beginner class and took home the win. I remember for his last trick he landed a feeble to barspin on the side of the big box jump. Things change fast.

Here’s little mike training hard with a barspin drop in as Vin Formisano creepily looks on. Check out the writing on Mike’s helmet.

Yours truly with a dog piss air. Check out how new the ramps look, crazy how destroyed they are now 5 years later. Also notice the lack of the spine, I don’t know how we lived without it.

Vin Formisano blasting the 6 foot as a young Little Dyke looks on.

Sebass getting high at Hackettstown. Now he gets high on the smell of new books.

This picture used to hang up on the wall to the entrance of Hackettstown skatepark until Shane stole it and put it up in his apartment.

This was right after I built my new Kink Freebird frame. This was probably around 2003, before cassettes, pivotals, and integrated seat post clamps.

Eat. Sleep. Ride.

Chris Neighbors riding the bull. Checkout the sidekick in between those giant laptops.

Paino with a big fufanu some years back at Lakewood. I really liked this setup, I used to be there almost every weekend.

Spam flexing hard on the wall slap at lakewood.

In 2004 me, Sebastian, Gerry Lyle and Scotty took a road trip down to florida for the UGP Roots Jam. This is before Scotty was hot shit and had 12 exotic cars and a 20 bedroom house. This was taken in North Carolina at my friend Spencer’s Mini Ramp. Scotty took first place at Roots this year and went home with his parents instead of us cause he was annoyed by the drinking. What a wuss.

Spam got really drunk, cheated on his girlfriend and then passed out in his own puke at one of Sebastian’s parties. After taking this picture we all chipped in for a cab to take him home.

The last year I was at Woodward during the summer was 2005 when I worked as a dish dog. Paino was there as a camper and we made it our mission to learn backflips. This is my first attempt on a real box.

Here is Paino’s first attempt. He did about 2 more and never did them again. Instead he opted for 10 foot flairs.

Cabin 23Bupsy. This was when I was a camper in 2003.

Me and my boy Allistair Whitton just hanging out like we always do at Roots Jam 2003.

Icepick grind at South Beach on the 7 foot quarter. This still is my favorite place I have ever ridden.

Theres a ton more photos and some videos that I’m gonna post up a little later. Check back soon for more.
