The last two shots (I think...Bitchen’, as always…<br /> <br />The last two shots (I think) are either frame-grabs, or from the same session as, from “Free Ride ‘82” ). The Pottz footage was a wrap-around-cutty, back into the hook/barrel, and then A-L-M-O-S-T pulling it off…even more rare than the 360 (regular or backhand), this was the closest I had seen to an “infinity-symbol-carve.” Wicked…<br /> <br />There was also a circa Gotcha’ mag-ad that had that board 20’ out of the water (no feet/hands/body in sight, maybe a hyper-extended leg-rope) that said, “None for Us; None for Martin Potter Either”…as cryptic and as inspiring as Gotcha’s earlier “Survival-wear for The New Age,” or another that I’ve forgotten, or one from my own strange REM dreams: “Gotcha’…Hey, Man, Get Off the Stage.”<br /> <br />Do you have a line on MPotter’s “The Saint” board from hometown Africa? Similar and same-time as Occy’s Banks’ twin-fin with the weird orange/blue geo-spray?<br /> <br />Oh, and I can’t remember if *this* was the year that Herbie Fletcher (?) towed Pottz into a huge Second Reef Pipe tube (sh*t-NO, not on this board), or was it the next? I think/thought it was the same year that Michael Ho won the Pipe Masters with a cast/broken wrist and a strip of AstroDeck, that basically made a “pig-dog” socially acceptable. 1982? ’83?<br /> <br />Thomas Tyle<br />Cosmic Dog<br />Poet-Warrior<br />Conjurer of Lofty TitlesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747709762620126283.post-40938975900367130822012-03-17T01:20:39.656+11:002012-03-17T01:20:39.656+11:00your photos are great!your photos are great!cribs for twinshttp://cribsfortwins.netnoreply@blogger.com
