all my old pix are on slides and i just discovered my scanner can do them (sort of, not as clear as a slide scanner by itself). so here are a few for starters.

1986 Hutch show. he's no longer on the team, but Mike D is in the area w/ diamond back, so he stops by. the bike with white mags is mine. he didn't like Woody's 'cuz of the coaster

next up, some candid shots from Haro, 1986. the shop i worked at then (called "rad sports") hosted the show. these are from the "after party" at the shop owner's house.

random shot in the house. for any who follow skateboarding, the guy in the red shirt is paul zitzer - pro skater and commentator (for whichever series airs on NBC). his family owned the shop.

ahhhhh,
The good ole days. i remember those spots..good ole torque center and rad sports.
i remember riding up to rad sports with the radboys for those shows and even riding an hour to torque..


thanks for the pics chris..

bob-o

Looks like good times. Thanks for posting 'em.

BOB, Rad Sports must'a been a longer haul than Torque for you guys, wasn't it? 92nd & Lisbon Ave.

yeah, now that i think about it...

man,i remember one day we left rad sports and we had like 30 people "maybe more" riding with us down the street.
were you with us on that one?

probably. was that one of the times we'd go from rad sports to the "strip" (HWY100 & oklahoma)?

i know there were times we'd do that with arlo and duane & company.

Very cool pics. I actually remember that show and that's rare for me these days. Woody.

Great shots - thanks for posting and sharing those!

My first show was the Hutch Freestyle Team at the Torque Center. Great shows, I have both of them on DVD.

holy look back! that is a good picture. i like how one foot is off.

Those are really great pictures, Mr. C! Thanks for sharing with us.

supposed to be crappy weather this weekend, so maybe i'll scan some more . man, does scanning slides with the equipment i have ever take some time

Rest assured Mr. Coasterbrake - there are those of us who really dig the photos and appreciate the time you invest! So Thanks in advance!

Wow. !!! what great and rare gems these shots are....

Blyther and Wilkerson look SO young... it's funny to look at these and see how young they actually look, as I've always looked up to them like they were 900 ft. tall gods.



Thanks.

Those are some way cool shots, I also noticed that one foot hanging off.

I have a bunch of photos from all the Torque Center shows sitting in a box back in WI (85-88). Next time I am there, I will be scanning and posting!!!

a couple more. same '86 haro show.

back to the Hutch show...black hemet is Moliterno

Nice pic's!!! I love Rons fakie air. I can see my brother taking video and me with the camera in my face by the small ramp.Thanks mr c.

Mr. Coastebrake. I was at a Hutch show in Wi,, when Mike D. stopped by also.. He got a Woody's bike. Was this the same show. Where was that hutch show..

Wilkersons Fakie is beyond sick..... Post more.. those shots are unbeleivable....

i was trying to pick out faces in all these pics when i dug them out. did you get your bike together yet?




yeah, that's the show. Mike got on Woody's bike for some stuff and mine (white mags pic) for others. it was held at a shop called Torque Center in New Berlin (a suburb of milwaukee).

Thanks again, Mr. C!
Those old slides might be a pain to get digital, but those are really some great memories worth sharing. I'm big on posting scans from the mags, but personal pix are the coolest...

I can't believe we were at the same show. We drove like 4 hours to get there. I got some shots of Woody riding on the road after the show, and Mike getting air.. I can't believe Mike D. just shows up. Why was he there? Can you post more of your old shots.. I could post some of mine too... If you watch Joe Kid on a Stingray, the footage of Woody is from that very show...

yep, Woody did a side-glide down that whole street behind the store .

if i remember, Mike D was in the general area doing shows w/ DB and had off that day so he stopped by to see Woody.

more shots to come...

i'll have to check Joe Kid again. that's cool! maybe i'm in it

Now I'm shocked, the bike you see me riding in those photo's on the kick turn ramp is "the" bike that got stolen when I was in New York. It's a futuristic black TS with a gold stem, gold headset, gold seat post clamp and the pedals were gold with black cages. That bike also has the actual wheels from my gold bike. You can tell by the gold spokes. That's why everyone thought my gold bike got stolen, but it didn't, it was the bike in those pictures. That is the second hutch I'm restoring, that exact bike is the one a kid brought to me at the AFA Masters in Patterson NJ and gave back to me when I was riding for DB. Notice the brakes on the front forks. Thanks for posting those pics. To this day, I still can't believe I got that bike back after all those years. Woody.

Mr.CB,the pics are much appreciated.Thanks


Rob

Mr.CB,the pics are much appreciated.Thanks

It's pretty amazing that one day, one show, would come back so many years later. Seeing those pics just brings back such great memories of that day. And having Woody himself post also.. All 3 of us were at that show, over 20 years ago. I'll post some pics also..

I remember when that same hutch tour came to chicago. Rick had some cool tiny rotor that he said his friend machined for him on that candy red ts. Woody f black ts was/is my favorite freestyl bike ever. Cant wait to see it again. CT

i was at that show! i don't know if pipe rode with me or just followed us or what.
but just a couple of weeks ago i found the shirt i got there. the one with the gold bike.
i will bring it to rockford.
who wants to post my pics?

Same legendary show...

Hey KOP, You said you had that show on video? Whats the chance of you posting it on youtube?

Ahh Rad Sports..I went to school with Mark and Paul.Memories coming back to me now.Does the name Dave Lein (sp) ring a bell?

80'sbmx, what side of town did you grow up in?
i'm from the south side of milwaukee..

Parts of that show were taped on an actual movie camera that took film. Really old school. The footage is amazing. It's in parts. Strike, is the actual owner of this footage. I've seen it. I would love to see it again. It would take some doing, but it can be done.

Long story short, I don't believe I have that footage in my posession. I'll see what I can do to find it, but I don't think I ever got that particular 8mm film back from Mark.

Dave Lien, yeah, mark and paul's cousin. he worked there ,too, when they first opened - maybe the first 6-8 months.

if you rode (or skated) we must'a met back then. what's your name (and what did you ride back then, since we all remember the bikes )?

-chris / "the Rad Sports Dude"

that fakie is the best.

My name is Justin ,had a porsche white Judge around 85...not your everyday Hutch Judge, mine had Turqoise Peregrines.I didn't skate that much but got alot of use out of my Burton Performer in the winter.I grew up in Brookfield



Thanks alot for the pics and bringing back some memories

that bike sounds familiar. what crew (or area) did you ride with? did you live near Mark and Paul or come into the shop?

Same show.. Goggles on helmet.. a must...

Wow, those are some cool pictures! That's so awesome that all you guys were at the same show back then.

Since we seem to be on a Hutch Trick Team theme, here's a couple of pics of a show I saw in Rochester, NY. It was in a dark, cold warehouse but Woody and Rick delivered!

Okay, I'm a little tired so I just realized that this thread is about one show - literally a singular show (lol). Very cool. Anyway, old school pics are still fun...

Sweet Jezuz Rick must be like 10 feet out, go Rick!

Wow, amazing pics and thread. Keep it going!

jeezz, i was thinking the same thing. look at the back of his jersey, looks like he took a spill. that or a vanderroll.

more from the Hutch show...

Wow! some great shots there , thanks for sharing.......SWEET

Wow, those are pretty sick pics there. Talk about stoke.. That was a great day.. I'm in that crowd somewhere..
