Dave Tobin drove a motorhome full of Oregon skaters back to Ohio for a Dreamland pour at the Skatopia complex. Dave says Brewce seems well and it looks like a fun trip. Mark Scott, Little John, Q-man, Jay Meer are along for the trip. Dave Hupp is documenting the trip for a forthcoming secret PowerRider project but Tobin managed to sneak us a few phonecam shots of the trip.

Skatopia founder Brewce Martin suffered a head trauma when a tire exploded at a tire shop near Skatopia. Updates as we get them after the jump.

Whenever Jyme (Jymie?) George used to come in to travel with the Surf Ohio crew, he always had stacks of stickers and t-shirts to give away, printed by the guys at Graphics Lab, who were just starting out at the time. Jyme let me enter the first big amateur contest in Dayton even though I didn’t have a sponsor, under the condition that I had better not embarrass him. I actually made the first cut, but I basically blew my wad and didn’t have anything else left to show. Lacking any reserves in my bag of tricks, I decided to repeat my first run on a plastic toy skateboard. Needless to say, I didn’t advance again. I must have accumulated 5-10 different Surf Ohio shirts in a few short years. Instead of hoarding them all, I only hoarded half of them, and gave the rest away to a bunch of friends.
