Two Skates

Here's the picture of I used for the artwork print below. I wanted a wall-ride picture with silhouette potential so this one fit the bill. For me wall-riding was what skate city times were about, but I would have liked it to have been much more. In the end the Edge Skatepark was the darker reality where I met both Natas Kaupas and Mark Gonzales on different occasions. Natas skates the Edge Skatepark mini ramp at Fremantle while Phil Dodd and I look on 1989...that's Neil Atkinson too.

Here is a photo I took of Franco and Phil skating the Pier St Carpark in 1987.

This photo Steve Atherton waiting while Franco drops in at Albany Snake-run also by me.

Karate Kid endings

There seems to be Karate Kid endings at the Perth Cultural Centre;

A bit about the plot of this annimation. The student was having trouble making a dragon origami, but when the sensei leaves he is transported into a alternative world where he makes origani stepping stones and a kite to escape a mysterious black entity that is following him. In the end he needs to make the white dragon origami to defeat the darkness.
With the verse of the day being John 12 35-36,  it was a reminder we all have a great teacher available....well, for now.

Time for Reflection

The Chin Tree

On top of Skate City a tree grew in the gutters. 

I went back the next time after I took this photo and noticing it was not there; asked the workers where it was , but they said it was long gone. No Karate Kid plot to be had here I guess.
