Ping has boxes of negatives from various sessions during the golden age of big pipe skating in various desert areas of the U.S. He’s slowly scanning and cleaning them up. You can check out the tip of the iceberg at Desert Pipes Galleries.

So weird, I was just on Ping’s site this morning, and now a post on my favorite website. It’s like Kilwag is spying on me… I bought Ping’s dvd a few years ago, which had the Love Bowls in it too. Pretty good history. Everyone should check his site out.

Wowza! Makes you remind that Warren Bolster wasn’t the only photographer around.

I’m hyped on Fullpipes right now. I think I’m gonna go to Pier Park if it ever stops raining.

Yes, but that one tends to have a steady stream of water going thru it. I guess we could dam it up. F* it. Lets go to DOS! haha!

The Jaws of skating! The downhill sections provided one of the heaviest skate experience ever! Great, great photos.

Yea Ping! I was lucky enough to skate one of, if not THE best full pipes on the planet with Ping. (Lake Cunningham) And then later lurk amusingly as he and another stumbled around the bowls at 4am. Ping rocks.
