I'm from WAY back...

Just found this forum and blog through some random searching around and thought I should get reacquainted with my old scene!

I'm originally from the Kokomo area and started skating way back in '95. I used to skate the old Just Ride and remember skating with Dave Carmicheal and some random other guys. 7 yrs ago, I got married and moved the D.C. area. It's cool scene out here. At 30, I still skate the local parks and shoot quite a bit of the kids that are killing out here. I get back to Indiana every now and then. I'll post up next time I'm gonna be around. If you're up for some shooting and skating with an old guy, lemme know!

Here's some recent pics from the D.C. area:

Awesome pics!

Dave Carmichael is married and lives on the W/NW side of Indy. He still rolls around a little, but he's mostly a family man.

Yeah man, you really should give a heads up when you head out here, the scene is picking back up and people are excited again.

There is a NEW Just Ride in Muncie, and tons of new skateparks popping up on the north side of Indianapolis: Zionsville, Carmel, Noblesville has 2 I think. Major Taylors is still there and it's been painted so falling doesn't mean cheese grater action.

Oh, and sorry about DKs. Worst skatepark ever made. Period.

Great pics, really beautiful, and that's hard to do with skating scenes.
