  One of the funniest things happened to me last wednesday. I was visiting a dear friend of mine. We don't see eachother on a regular bases, but we always find the time once in a while to catch up, see and listen what we've been up to. Haven't spoken with him for the last 5 months, so of course I had to explain what I have been doing lately.
Gave him this URL so he can read all about it. I gave him a short proloque of what to expect and out of the blue he tells me he's an oldskool skater from way, way back. I'm talking about 25 years or so. Me flabbergasted and not sure we were talking about the same subject, he jumps up and starts searching for what he claims to be his old rollerskates. And there under a thick layer of dust, completely decomposed boots with Krypto wheels like eggs from intense usage, his beloved skates saw daylight again after 20 long years. "Oh what the hell, I'll put 'em back on again. It's been a while, let's see if I can still stand straight without smashing facedown on the floor. " He staggered for about 10-15 seconds and with any further doubt he starts doing the scisorss, the flip, the groovy and a carefull but quite steady pirouette. My jaw dropped!! Then showed me some moves, not that smooth anymore but for sure like an oldskoolskater!! D*mn I've known him for 10 years now, and strangely enough did not take him for a rollerskater. Since the day I met him he was always in the good company of his beloved skateboard or his even more beloved Harley Davidson.
So that's how his story goes. Started as a rollerskater, spending about all his spare time on the streets with some good music, dance and skates. By the end of the '70s when rollerskating became to be a hype, he traded his rollerskates for a skateboard. He got very excited while strutting around on his ragged old skates and hollered with a smile on his face: "Oh man, this brings back memories.
" Promised he would come see me soon and watch how rollerjammers nowadays do their 'thang'. He's been working real hard for the last few years to get urlLink his business going, and with succes, spending all his time on this Passion with a capital P as in T for Tattoo. Dear Les, I will never drive faster then my guardian angel can fly. Grtz and CU soon!
