Those guys were two ollieing fools. Totally amazing. We had to ditch the US Marines at Camp Pendleton who were "guarding" the pipes. We skated our brains out. What is Jeff up to now?
JT would be stoked to hear from you, I guarantee that.

JT's "Fire Hydrant"
Nukeland Part 2: Crazy Joel Broida
That's a sampling of his articles on Silverfish. There are a lot more and a gallery of photos he maintains, too. Did you know the photographer described in the last link I've posted? Joel found the article and contacted me to find JT... it had been 30 years. |

Get some ABEC 11 90mm Flywheels with some Rockin Ron's ceramic bearings and some precision downhill trucks.

more a response to Rons bearings they are insane and what a good guy stands behind everything he makes 100% returns emails and rips it
I like Vintage Powell Wheels Conicals, CrossBones, Ratbones,Tbones etc etc I have note ridden much for new wheels |

| I haven't ever found a huge difference in bearings to be honest. I'll throw in whatever I have assuming it's clean or something haha. |

| Try a set of RocknRons you will notice the difference and as far as bearings go they start really cheap |

| He may notice they get up to speed faster, but at the speed he races at the differences become negligible. Ron's are designed more for vert (though I run them on everything). |

| I do own a set of rockin rons, I didn't notice much apart from some random bearings I won in Calgary. And Blair is right, when it comes down to racing as well, the difference is very minute. |
