My name is Randy, and I like to skate. Here is how I started, with a little more here. I started this web site in 1996. Before that it was a Zine I started with my friend Neil in 1986. Now I’m married with a kid and one more on the way in September 2007. I like both kinds of music, punk rock and new wave.
A recent (2007) picture courtesy of Earth Patrol Media. Nice facial expression.
Yeah. this is where my profile would be if there was one. I should update this.
Steve Grover took this 2006 shot of me at West Linn
I must not have skated in 2005, but 2004 Shawn Fendick took this picture of me at Orcas Island.
Unfortunately, this shot is also me. Taken in 1984 (by?), I’m posing a boneless down the stairs at Huff Gym at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. The Psychedelic Furs played there. It was across the street from my dorm. Remember those shirts? I spray painted the target over the front, like the RAF symbol. Was I cool or what? Yeah, or what.

[...] There wasn’t much to skate at our DH park, with all the debris of Pine Needles/Rocks/Mud and general wetness- it was barely skateable at all. But then I realized there are worse kids in smaller towns with no place to skate. Enter little Kirk from The Dalles Oregon He basically wouldn’t let me skate alone. I was trying to see if I could shoot a self action timed shot using my timer, no one involved type photo of myself skating. Hard to do period. He apparently had camera skills, because he offers to take the shot for me. I sit him down and give him an express “How To” and I skate off hoping for the best. Here’s attempt #1: and he precedes to nail it on the very next try, he even stood up like the veteran Kilwag and said calmly “I got it.” [...]
