classic stuff, tvshooter.

good luck on your recovery,  Stokely.  i've shredded both of my knees before.  recovery takes time but you'll be back before you know it.

friend is buying  place with a kidney bean shaped pool that goes to 15ft.  guess who's going to hit it before he gets it resurfaced

@Stokely:

Awesome.  I skate, although tore my ACL a couple months back and had surgery this past wednesday. 13ft deep bowl in NZ while on a trip with the wife.  First day of physical therapy was today.  Not as bad as I thought it would be. Been deckshredding for about 22 years, guess it's about time my knee went.  I'll try to find some pics at some point.

i did the same thing a few years back.  the rehab was the worst part,  just wanting to skate but knowing you arent ready yet.    Yoga helped a TON.  Good luck man.  Did you ride that bowl in Wellington?  That thing is pretty fun.

had that same board.

[Stokely]

That Groholski is siiick. Always loved that dude.  I think one of my first Thrasher's had a photo of him grinding over vert at the Old Farm Ramp in Raleigh, NC.

Riff- I'm from Chapel Hill, are you from NC or just visiting our wonderful terrain?

[riffblaster general]

i live in Salem, Ma but i grew up in Virginia Beach so im down that way alot.    obx has been a serious skate destination for a few years now.

the grindline park in norfolk just opened this week and it looks SICK.

[Stokely]

Shredding!

[that_was_easy]

Damn.  Where/when is that?

Clearly(?) pre-digital video…

Shredding!

that hurt.  the worst is the "around the world".

Little metal fullpipes outside of Dayton, OH during a Skatopia run. 2000 I think. My board is above me in that photo. It loops in then hits me when I hit the bottom in the video. Hilarious.

brutal.  same shit happened to me at arlington washington.  i got real lucky because i landed on my back and it hit my shoulder instead of my head.  always funny in retrospect.

are you heading to wanchese for their yearly obx  cornfest blowout jam? I'm bringing a vanload down from boston for the weekend.  should be a blast!

Look familiar?

[Stokely]

Falling!!!!

[Beatle]

[Stokely]

I broke my wrist on the second try…..

[Beatle]

[Stokely]
