definitely not, I grew up in an African-American neighborhood playing hoops way too much, when I should have been studying. Although, I could ollie pretty high on my old Burton Brushie (Jeff) snowboard and Morrow Landspeeder, circa 1992 when I was still a punk.
Got news for you, when you hit 30, you have to grow up and join the real world, it sucks. :(

no way who wants to grow up
ill still be skating when im an ol fella :)

on flat ground you can't ollie higher than you can jump. speed and angle of takeoff will increase the height above your jump.

that's also true. As delinquents, we generally broke the legs off of one half of a picnic table and flew off them with our skateboards or snowboards. Lot's of fun.

WOW loopyd, that one was really good :)

Hell no.....I don't think I have the confidence or something. I'm the tallest skateboarder in the entire world (6'5"). Get some liquor in me and I can jump a Geo....and that's not gonna happen on a skate. Gettin too old anyway...I pretty much just stick to tech tricks....
Hey..any of your fellas got any more footage? I'd like to see some more!

did you guys ever get a spare bicycle tube and strap it under the board between the trucks and hold it between your hands? man he used to do that all the time. huck anything the cheater way!

nice looypd. i'd say my best was one of those steel bike racks. there was one in front of the college mess hall. lost count of how many try's it took until i finally got it. those were the mutha fuckin days. god i miss that. need to get the ol' birdhouse out of the closet.

Thanks pixter and auricom!

More of our stuff...

i love that the skating in that vid is much like just skating with your friends...i swear these days, i'd rather watch something that makes me feel emotional about still getting on my board, versus hammer after hammer..
but both, well i guess that's why i nearly cry after every transworld video - drama+hammers
