 Around 1979 I the Bellingham Skatepark opened, located in the Watcom county fairgrounds indoor arena. It consisted of a collection of plexi-glass ramps, and wood ramps. This was a shot on the 7 foot high mini ramps. We used to call this doing a "wheeler" since no coping to connect with, the rider was riding on one wheel. Hence the wheeler. |
 Same mini ramp, only this time I over shot the wheeler. Opps! I made all my wood boards in wood shop in Jr. High. This was one of my favorites. It fit my big feet and wide stance. |
 This was me in the huge half pipe. I hadn't ridden a half pipe before this time. I was still four feet from the vert section. |
 Same half pipe, only this was nearly a year or so later. I think this was 1980. In that time, I had built my own half pipe, and was getting quite good at riding vert. I really liked that plexi-glass half pipe. It was one of the fastest ramps I ever rode. The Vert Section of the ramp said, "Firestone". |
