skate days : a wonderful collection of pics.
Some memories of the good ole days. Used to be on the Pepsi skateboard team back in the 70s on the East Coast. We would put on shows at verious locations in New England and abouts..We went to New York a few times for a few parades including the Macys day parade where we skated with Tony Alva during his hayday. Steve Ellis AKA Woody Woodflow and later known as Cholo (of Hawaii) was also on the team..Some of the great parks we skated in this erra were Cherryhill in NJ, Shooting Star in Mass, Vernon in CT, Centrifical Force in RI and of coarse Yawgoo Valley Ski resort of RI… (our roots)

I skated at Yawgoo in the 70′s and had a few Woodflow boards and long sleeve shirts. Steve Ellis was a great guy – he also had a half pipe in his yard at Pt. Judith that he let a few of us locals skate. I sometimes skated with Corey Little at the park. Hope all are well and still skating!
