In my 80's glory days I loved to rock the wall ride. Look at those pads! lol! Why am I wearing knee pads in this pic? I think we had just finished skating vert at Mr. J's ramp nearby. Or maybe I just wanted to look even MORE dorkish. Who knows. I have been threatening to ride walls again but wall rides leave dirty marks. These days I can't bring myself to deface someone's property even if it will wash away. Wanted: Brick wall that will not show dirt. What is your favorite 80's trick? When are you going to relearn it? ;) I love the shadow in this pic. Photographer: ??? One of my friends took this shot maybe Kolby W, Jeremy P. Bob J or Gary D.?

K, that is the killer pic!!!!!!!!
I have a nice one of my friend doing a frontside wallride from about '88 or '89. I'll have to post that one up for sure. PURE VERTICAL!
Cool Jeff, I would love to see the pic. I couldn't do frontside wall rides back then. I only mastered backside and for some reason I would always plant my hand on the wall. I want to learn them again, I should try frontside as well!
The hand against the wall is hot! Like Mort Tabor used to say "Style is CRUCIAL." I posted the pic, check it out at http://jeffsskateboardpage.blogspot.com/2008/11/wall-ride-1989.html
Thanks man!
Thanks Jeff, That front side pic on your site rocks!
