I have to agree with you very much. As I was doing the editing of the photos I was all caught up at looking at them and I amlost felt like I was there and I knew everyone. Its a very cool story how this gallery came to be. We may have to elabrate more on the story behind the pictures. I will let Erik know to chime in on this thread. Thanks Erik!!!!

Thanks fellas. Those pictures are priceless to me. I just wish that I had more of them. If I had a digital camera back then I would have never gone out without it. We have so many stories to go with those images.
Our neighboring town and rival high school was in King of Prussia, home of Gary "Pinky" Pollack and Large Ray. We tried our best to get in with them and the Plywood Hoods when they were around. Mark "Lungmustard" Eaton was around one time and friggin blew our minds!
On the day that I took the group photo with Rick and Dan bustin Cherry Pickers (very cool back then) we had just watched Dennis "DMC" McCoy and Rick Moliterno shred it up at the King of Prussia Mall in a Haro/Adidas show. Needless to say we were all stoked beyond belief and rode like we had a purpose. As a rider, it is so important to have someone to ride with that inspires you. Rick was the best of our group followed by Pez. They each had there own style and trick library. There is nothing that can compare to the true brotherhood that exists with riders. I see it even now with everyone who has helped point an oldhead in the right direction to get back into flatland.
I'm glad my pics bring back those memories for all the other old skool, oldheads out there. Why don't they bring back all those crazy neon colors in bike parts? I loved those crazy multicolored bikes with pink or green tires. Ha ha!
