I’m pretty sure the statute of limitations has expired on this crime. I’m riding a pink Hosoi hammerhead that was such a p.o.s. that it was probably a bootleg, so that ought to put it into perspective. I don’t remember who took these pics, Maybe it was House of Neil, but it more likely was a college roommate becasue I have a distinct memory of this being taken outside one of the campus mail rooms by some of the dorms at the University of Illinois- go Triad! This would have been shortly before I got kicked out, errrr, uh dropped out of college. Hey, it’s only campus police. The jokes on you guys, because you let me back in, and I graduated.
Acid drop off the rear trunk while the Man is getting fat at the snack bar. I spent way too much time bleaching out and drawing barbed wire on that jacket.
Looks like I’m sporting some sort of neo-rockabilly look here. Except for the JFA inspired paisleys I drew all over those converse.
Geez, three takes, I was really pushing my luck. Would have been a great street bonless shot of the era if it had been a quarter second later. You know the drill, skate up to something, grab for a boneless, hop around a bunch, then pose the boneless re-entry.

shit dude. Seeing that jacket again brings back so many greta memories. The converse were all drawn on too if I remember. I have some similar shots of me skating off of the mailbox in front of the original TSG house.

In shot 2 you look like the lovechild of John Cryer and Lux Interior. You also could have capped it off with a Michael Bein/Kyle Reese and took the shot-gun as a souvenir.
Good shit, Outlaw.

Excellent post. I saw someone riding a violet Hosoi like that not long ago.

I swear this was a from the movie police academy. Either that, or the too hot for t.v. clips from Thrashin. I love it Kilwag!
