SOTW 1-5-08: Sign in Bowl - Ron Emory

SOTW 1-5-08: More Sign In bowl.

After seeing himself in last week’s shot of the week, Runaway insisted that we at least use a good shot. That wasn’t a dig a Peter Dietsches’ photo skills, Keith was just being self deprecating. In order to detract attention from his corn rows, Keith furnished two great shots of TSOL member Ron Emory at the same bowl. Above is a close up of one of them. Love the debris flying off, and if you can believe it, it’s a make of a backside edger that took a turn for the hairy. Word is he made those regularly. Keith said Ron owned that pool, and you’ll be inclined to agree if you check out the full frame Shot of the Week as well as a bonus shot after the jump.

Here’s an alternate shot, by all rights it probably should have been the Shot of the Week, but it was too similar to the last one. Keith had this to say about the photo.

…that one foto that looks like ollie is justa full Hackett-slash FS grind that he whipped so hard it came off the wall – he owned that place….

Don’t forget to check out the Shot of the Week

    Hello old friends,

    The Sign-In-Bowl was in Dan and Ruth Massey’s back yard in Anaheim California. Many of the best of the old school skaters could be found shreading “secret sessions” 24-7-364 from 1987-1993 we had a lot of good times there. Your fotos bring back memories,all good ones. If anyone has any more photos of The Sign-In-Bowl
    please send them to me at TheHotLine@msn.com.
    They would be greatly apreciated.
    Sincearly,
    Danny Massey
