B-ret

This is a photo of Bret from 1994, he is wearing his Nike jumper and his hand is on fire. It was the last night of the lease at the house on Lawrence St. in Mt. Gambier, one for the books. Bret still looks the same pretty much, he just wears tighter clothes and runs an aboriginal art gallery in Fitzroy.



Me and Bret

Mad Mike

A rare sighting of Mike Denovan, bs 5-0 at Clifton Hill. Such a shredder.

Not so good times

Post knee reconstruction, 2001. I played a lot of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 that year.

3 ollies

In the absence of bloggy, and due to great demand (Prior, Sam and Siggy said I wasn't blogging enough), I scanned some photos to look at.



First and perhaps the best example of the form, Gustav. This was a good day. We did the Newport, Hardcore mission, then skated a ghetto ledge that I believe was made by Shorts. Where are you, Gustav?



When I last lived in Adelaide, I spent most weekends shredding with Andy Walker and his crew, taking photos while they filmed for the elan video. Webster was shredding really hard and this ollie is massive, I only clicked it to huge because the fisheye was new. Webster used to pull hairs from my head while I was crouched on the ground taking fisheye photos, it was a thing we had. Last time I saw him, he seemed pretty out of it, hanging with some sketchy characters. This photo was actually printed in Slam magazine. It came out really badly, but I was stoked.



This is me in Brisbane, about 1996. I think this bump is still there? It's a good one, with a downhill run-up. Russell, who I lived with, took the photo. Weird arms.

Gary and Milan

My blogging apparatus has been returned to be fixed. Not sure why it stuffed up, might have something to do with being dragged through flooding water and being soaked in dolmades.



We have a new kitten named Gary. He's a character. We got him from the lost dog's home, on an ill-fated Jack Russell search. Hopefully, I'll get my JRT soon, but for now, Gary is a good fellow to have around.



The original Jandles team from Mt. Gambier were reunited the other night when Milan (centre) married Natasha. Milan is now a chef and writer. Craig, who used to be known as Fate, was an incredible skater. I remember he could do frontside flips three different ways.
