Alright, everybody... Here's the game. Who can beat Sam to the answer?

This shot is from the Vert Vets at Vets session, on the old gem, Big Blue, in Woodbridge, Virginia, on Labor Day of 2010. I've never put this photo out there, probably because I didn't know who I was looking at. Someone, tell me. Who is this guy?

We are STOKED that someone has proposed a Mid-Atlantic Skateboarding Hall of Fame. State-by-state halls are nice, but a regional hall makes for a much clearer picture of the overall situation in skateboarding's history. I'll say it again... STOKED.

For fun... I'll throw in some images of people that will, probably, make that hall.

I'm having a hard time putting a precise date on this photo, right now, but I figure it was probably about 15 years ago. Heyman ... nosegrab backside layback tailslide. Any questions? I think that pretty well covers it.

Happy New Year, 2025!

This is a picture of Sam Boo boosting a large frontside boneless at Lansdowne, back in the day. I'm putting a 1987 date on this one.

Happy New Year, tonight. Everyone, please be safe.

The New Year also means building the Top-10 lists for 2024. Please take some time today to go back through the past year's posts and make sure you've Liked your favorites. Last year's Top-10 is exempt from the counting.

Thanks for a great year. Thanks to everyone who has donated to my Cancer-Fighting GoFundMe campaign (live link on Profile Linktree) and helped me with my fight.

To celebrate our first troll, here's another picture of Bo**er . Our troll is political (I know... yawn), and, apparently, he doesn't like Dan. Oh well, I hope Dan doesn't really care as much as I really don't care.

This is another photo from the session shot with Jim Noonan's lens. Bo**er took full advantage.

This one should have been an ad. From that perspective, it might be the best picture I ever shot of Dan "Bo**er" Brown . He's finger-flipping that board art right in our faces, with max stinkiness going on behind... Classic Bo**er.

I'm just going to stick with this one roll, shot with Noonie's lens. Here's a picture of Hounddog, doing something worth looking at. Whap!

Shooting Jason Farrell's very large airs was one way I took advantage of using Noonie's fisheye lens. Jason was ripping on that particular day. Japan air.

Noonie's lens... Some sessions might have been "just another sesh," but they distinguish themselves for the memories they provoke. By the state of the tree leafage (or lack thereof), this Cedar Crest session happened either in the late fall of '86 or the early spring of '87. The steel pipe coping makes me think it is early '87. Whenever it happened, it was noteworthy for being the day Jim Noonan needed some photos of himself, so we made a deal. He let me use his fisheye lens and I shot a roll for each of us. We're going to stick with this one for a few, so hang on...

Hmmm... Here's one we haven't seen yet. This is the one and only Steve Caballero , blasting a frontside air over an almost irrelevant channel at the N.S.A. Bluegrass Aggression Session, which was held in Louisville, Kentucky in the summer of 1988.

Meanwhile, back at the Crest, there was Umbel. Always Umbel. Ripping. Always.                                           ...

It is Giving Tuesday, and I am asking you to consider donating to my cancer-fighting GoFundMe campaign. For the past year, I have been fighting multiple myeloma and, while I’ve just had the bone marrow biopsy that follows an autologous (platelet) transplant by 100 days, and the myeloma itself is in a state of remission, now begins the process of repairing (or attempting to repair) the damage done by the disease. That will start with the repair of a hernia. I’ve had to live with this thing since last Fall and can imagine it as the cause of much of my present discomfort. It’s going to take surgical repair, and I couldn’t do that until we had the multiple myeloma under control. After that is resolved, I’ll be able to assess just how much of my present state of discomfort and disability might be a matter of bone damage, again caused by the myeloma, in my ribs and spine.

The bottom line is that, despite the progress and good news, this thing is far from over and I still need help. Please go to https://gofund.me/f3a82b82 . You will see that I am very close to reaching my goal. Please help me get there. Even better, let’s blow the roof off this thing. These funds have been (and continue to be) essential in dealing with the uninsured expenses related to this ordeal, and I am eternally grateful to the many who have given to help get me to today. Thank you.

If you haven’t yet and have enjoyed some of our Lapper energy in the past year, please go to the GoFundMe campaign (live link on the Profile/LinkTree) and give. I appreciate you.

It was the late summer of 2011, right here in Olney, Maryland, and, I'll admit, this was one face I didn't expect to see at the first Scott Greene Bowl Crawl. I was kind of out of practice (I almost didn't get the coping in the shot), but it is always a treat shooting a legend.

Well... I started the week with a shot of Pat Ngoho from the first Scott Greene Bowl Crawl. I may as well finish the week with another Pat Ngoho shot.

The thing about a shot like this is that I just haven't conveyed the speed and sound of this long moment on coping. For all you know, it could just be an axle stall, but I need to tell you that it was more like a steaming locomotive on rails... *clack clack... clack clack... clack clack*.

Let's go back to the late summer of 2011 and the first Scott Greene Memorial Bowl Crawl. After stops at skateparks in Front Royal, Virginia, and Frederick, Maryland, the crawl came to Olney Manor Park in Olney, Maryland. Pat Ngoho was a noteworthy non-local in the mix, and I'm pretty sure this rock-and-roll is a boardslide, too.
