The guy named TAD in the Fusion ad's was Tad Stout. He was the reason Piercy, Ryan etc. came out to Colorado to race. Tad raced at La Costa with them and told them about the racing going on in ColRADo. The rest is history.......

Getting there was alot of fun!!!!!!!! Fear and Loathing on the ARA trail '77 Once again Koz and I are up to our usual. Target - VAIL. Koz's Orange Chevy Vega (The VARGA) is burning up another quart as we charge up the hill by Georgetown. Friday afternoon, summertime, work is done for the week (gotta...

NCAR!!!!! January, 1976..... Brent Kosick and I are in need of some serious skating. A thumb ride to the top of NCAR seems to fill our needs. I notice a "breeze" on the way up but we decide to keep on. We take off on our run, 2.5 miles of speed. Turn frontside and you start hauling ass, turn backsid...

BTW.....

Colorado skaters that tore it up:

Randy Smith (the WILD Kitty!)

Brent Kosick (still killing it!)

Jim Whalan

Bruce Brewington (Parallel Master)

Any of the old crew out there!!!!!!

Chris, I think a trip in the Magic Bus is in order. Any guys want to know any info on the 70's scene in CO. plesase e-mail me or post. I would like to hear from you. Lot's of stories and info are stashed in the B-mans grey matter (somewhere near the cobwebs). Can I be an honrary member of TEAM SANDM...

Good to see the ColoRADo boys are carrying the slalom torch. I have many fond memories of skating there.

Imperial Falcon! I remember those and I remember ALREN Moore as well. He was a partner of another Colo - RAD-o Skate maker named Alan Albrecht who had a co. named Triton AND started ( please correct me ) Naked or Nude Snowboards. Arlen and Alan were the first guys that wanted me to skateboard for th...

Just saw Bruces's post and brought back alot of memories!!! I remember skating around The Hill in Boulder. Many prior and after skate sessions went down in that frat house with Bruce, Byron and INSANE ZANE on his Bahne!!!! Columbine was always great. A real ass kicker. I remember getting my Turner B...

OK, here is my observation from many years ago. I DID take highway cones and chop them down. DUMB MOVE. Karma paid me back. It seems the highway cones of the past are soft and get caught under wheels. OUCH! Save yourself some roadrash and use plastic beer cups if you must. I think Mr. Etiene has his...

The only REAL Indy suspension trucks were made in the 70's during the end of the ARA season. Hutson and a select few had them. I think (just a guess here) that only 5-10 sets if that were made. The suspension trucks had springs (maybe?? Please correct me if I'm wrong) inside the hanger attaching eac...

anyone else??? anyone....anyone...Buehler....Buehler....

Looking for some folks to run cones with. Bring it on......it don't cost nothin!!!!! Email me if you know of any good spots or we will find some!

The issue of "street racing" is a double edged sword. 1st there are no spots to race other than the streets. The 2nd is that if there was a venue for racing built would it attract? I think it would serve as a twofold purpose, a controlled area for racing with out contention with traffic and a good s...

In a pinch???? Plastic Solo Beer cups (20 oz.) from Costco or the "cheep store" will get you through until Brown shows at your door or you can save up the cash for some real ones.

When is this stuff gonna get outta the street. this has been talked about for years. How come the some of the parks are not being urged to put in a run? This a double edged sword however. The flipside of the coin is spectators and getting the KIDS into it. Something has to give on racing spots. Brin...

I think some different classes of gear could be run. something like a looseball wheel class. pre '80 stuff. Even a high performance class (Bruce Brewington has some classic Turners from the 70's) that would qualify. And don't forget the Concours de Elegance! That may bring out collectors and some sp...

How about "vintage" race gear and I don't mean wall hanging / collector pretty pieces?
