Chocolate – Bike Series
Posted by Hon | November 4th, 2009 | Filed under Blog
I really like this old bike graphics series for Chocolate Skateboards. Not sure who the artist was, Evan Hecox, maybe? Anyway the decks are colored nicely and beautiful, would be cool to have a chopper series illustrated in this style.

First time on a “Real Halfpipe”
Posted by Hon | October 23rd, 2009 | Filed under Blog
My wife surprised me with a vert lesson today. Yes lesson, I’ve been thinking of riding a real half pipe now for more than 20 years. Today was the first time in my 36 years of life. I didn’t want to get hurt and wanted to get off on a good foot. Pretty intimidating ramp for your first crack at transitions.
Awesome fun, very humbling. I have a lot of work ahead of me. I was running Bones SPF’s, they seemed way slippery on the “ecolite” surface at CJ’s skatepark. I kept slipping out on the transition. Not like the local concrete skatepark. I think I need to find my sweet spot. A sick ramp, I must go back soon!
Busted out the 4Q shirt to give me some support for the vert!

A moment alone to reflect
Posted by Hon | October 21st, 2009 | Filed under Blog
Reflecting on this years skating. I stopped for more than a decade but have made an effort to get out regularly this year. I never rode transition before, always dreamed of it as a kid but there was nothing near to ride or just too expensive to get out to the parks from my home. Now the public parks are so cool. My wife thinks I’m having a mid life crisis but it’s just so fun to get out there and learn something new all over. You never stop doing the things you love. Now just got to figure out how to keep healthy and not get hurt!

SPF Chris Miller 58mm

Nothing like a fresh set of wheels and bearings. Hoping to ride some indoor parks and more transitions over the winter so I will be rocking these Bones SPF’s and new bearings too. It’s freezing here but I will go try out tomorrow.

My first board – can’t find it
Posted by Hon | October 15th, 2009 | Filed under Blog
I’m on a hunt for my first board. I know it’s some where at my parents home. A Jeff Grosso, blocks Schmitt Stix. I loved everything about it. This image is not mine, it’s one I found on the web. I had a red stained deck, with trackers, red copers and the Powell 3′s? The big huge wheels. Just like in this pic. Except mine is in much better shape. You know, first board, very gentle with it and the graphics and all.
Oh well, it’s killing me, I know it’s somewhere in my parents home, I will find it!

Skate season winding down
Posted by Hon | October 11th, 2009 | Filed under Blog
I’m usually at the park early on the weekends to avoid the crowds. This is what greeted me today. Didn’t have a broom on me so had a short 1 hour session dodging leaves, surprised I only had one small spill. Oh well, getting cold too.

Ouch!

My Ryan Smith Mystery deck when it was new. I loved the graphics and actually got a few and passed them along to buddies.
Glad to have see some articles around the web that show Ryan Smith has made an incredible recovery. Sorry, can’t remember where I got the pics of the bike from.
