I love this pic he's on his Air beam deck that had the grapic on the top wering a Dogtown Shirt and RAZ PADZ that where made in brighton the poster on the glass is for razpadz and Baker Boards too cool.

The guy that sent me these photos said he could do laybacks,he was bloody good at them too judging by this photo his names Glenn and if you know him or used to skate with him you can contact him at theglennster@ntlworld.com here's what he had to say :I'm from Rochdale but my nearest proper park was Colne. I use to ride there a lot, and stop the full weekend freezing my knuts off in a sleeping bag with the rest of the motley crew Gratton, Danzi, Harkon, etc I cant remember half the names, old age you know.

I can't believe 20 odd years have passed so quickly. I still have a few Skate Magazines in the loft for old times sake, Skateboarder & Thrasher magazine, however I don't really want to part with any of them because skating was to dear to me, I will scan in anything you want though. I still have my last board in the loft a Powel Steve Caballero with indy's and OJ's plus my sweaty (smelly) Rector's & Pro Tec. I would love to skate again but would probably be classed as a geek compared to what is going on now. I'm addicted to the Extreme channel on Sky I still feel like I'm 18. I totally agree with your comments on Shogo Kubo his style was so fluid and laid back he didn't have to try to look cool. I wonder what he's doing now ?

Anyway keep up the good work your site it brought back many happy memories. Unfortunately I haven't got any more images of named skaters only of myself and local skaters. After Colne closed we frequented a wooden half pipe (ex Steve Gratton) in Bradford. This was used by a lot of famous UK skaters, loud Mouthed Liverpudlian Neil Danz & Stefan Harkon plus sidekick Trevor, Sean Goff, etc etc.

THANKS GLENN
