Air

I believe Bob is on a Torker signature series "Haro" frame, which makes sense, if this photo was taken in 1981. Some how I got this print signed in 1982 I don't remember where or how.

This exhibition or shale I say.... exa/bitch'n. Ha... I just remembered that was a term we use back then "Bitchen!" That's, bithch'n... duuuuude! Does anyone use that anymore?

Well, this show was at the Bonita Bike Shop in Bonita, Ca which is close to Spring Valley. B.B.S was a bitch'n bike shop, that's were I got my Torker bike in 80. Me and my buddy Rich (kaze) rode that thing to death. I realy wish I took care of my stuff back then and took more pictures. I have a few a plan on posting them up along with some drawings. After I scanned this photo in I was able to Scan thae audience and was able to find me and my Mum near a tree., I instantly reconize my bitch'n feathered hair.

Digging through my boxes trying to find old photos, outlines, drawings and ran across this picture that my Aunt took of Andy Warhol while he was in Saratoga Springs for a visit.

Shock...Horror.....More shock..Uh embarrassed!?!

I'm the first kid breaking that they show I'm wearing a baby blue Adidas suit.

WOW!!!! The ghost from Christmas pass caught up with me today. I forgot about this news story, I can't believe we actually made it on the news for doing a little performance for some handicap kids. I remember a few of the Down Syndrome girls had a crush on Rich. They kept on trying to touch him and was saying he is cute. They were flirting with him the whole time.

hahah, he turned them down. No pun intended.

Rich "The heart breaker" Real

"Gravity Ground Crew"...Uh...Yeah, this had to be in 1983.

I was wearing a freaking bandanna around my left ankle!!! And oh God!... my footwork was awful and my back spins were sloooow!!! And I was popping and breaking at the same time hahahah. holy crap! Lots of kick worms were being executed that day, that was the big power move then along with the hand spin. This was pre-windmill (continuous back spin) I was still in Junior high at the time and this was probably before we got to see "Wild Style" at the Ken theater. which blew are minds and I probably crapped my drawers at least a dozen times that night and that set me off in the right path,....Thank you MR. Charlie Ahearn!

I painted these two manga girls at the 30/60 yard in 1987. At the time I was inspired by and what we called "Japanese cartoons." The inspiration to paint this style of character instead of a "Bboy" style character or a "Bode" came by the way of me being addicted to Robotech.

today

My mom was born on this date in 1937, F.D.R was sworn in on that very day. A lot has changed since then... some good, some bad. Today, Miles was fortunate to experience an inauguration that will be prevalent for the rest of his life.

This weeks Super B-Beat Show....Tune in Now!

Super B-Beat Show!

30/60

This is the 30/60 wall, located near Jamacha and Grand Ave in Spring Valley, CA. Originaly it was called the "Grand Ave wall." Until one day, Quasar was curious how tall and wide the building was. We didn't have any measuring tape. "Q" counted the bricks which is 30 bricks high and 60 bricks long. It had a good run from 1987-1989. This was around the time they built another business next door and was laying down the parking lot, which evantualy killed the yard months later.
