The Complete Package

[willywhit]

Gecko should enjoy this. I was looking for some RI surf stuff and found this article

RI has always been as hardcore as So Cal for the surf/skate/party scene and back in the late 70's and early 80's it was nuts.

Sid is still rocking in his 50's

I think that's Fred Smith at the halfpipe/shop at 1st Beach

Yeah that's Fred, he's got a tattoo shop next to the police station in Newport now, the guy on the left in the pink shorts holding the girl lives in Hawaii now I ran into him skating Kamiloiki I don't recognize anyone else

RIP skater island I could really use that place right now

wow, found his shop, not much of a website yet

First time I skated with Fred at the C Bowl in Cambridge, next to the old ZT Maximus, Fred did a trick with a chain thru his nostrils like the spaghetti mental floss gag, I guess he had a deviated septum, pretty gross but cool when yer 14.

Good to see Fred III alive and well.I heard he'd gotten married and put on mega weight but he looks good now. Kinda like Fat Ram, another Cambridge /JP skinny psycho skater,surfer, snowboarder,awesome tattoo artist.

Yeah Fred even has a deck through American Nomad every once in a while.

Yeah I play skater island on my Xbox every once in a while I'm just pissed because all the indoor parks are 90 minutes away

Thanks for the videos Willy!

I rode a slalom skate yesterday.. (I hadn't really ridden a slalom deck when I was comfy on wheels, and the other racing stuff I've been on has been GS skates) beat the crap out of me..I gyrate like Peter Griffin trying to belly dance.
