Saturday Starrs #12: Tom Sims
Saturday Starrs! It’s been a while, becuase Scott Starr keeps getting kicked off of Youtube, and I forget to search him out again. I found this by accident, a TV clip from 1976 with Tom Sims and tow Sims riders named Steve Monohan and Edie Robertson. Edie does a nice gorilla grip, by the way. I don’t recall ever seeing a female gorilla grip practitioner before. No word of what TV show this is from, probably to keep it from getting pulled. Maybe Scott will let us know. Check it out after the jump.
what people can do with the new sophisticated boards is incredible
That’s The Merv Griffin Show, I believe.
that high jump over the hand rail is still rad. And he has style for miles.
Merve Griffin, The Elevator Killer? He just loves to kill.
Makes you wonder, is there going to be a day when skaters look back to now and evolution gap is the same? If a modern pro went back in time and skated with those guys their heads would probably explode.
