Sources & Inspiration       *sk8ing home
 
The key to this book, is that its success is proportional to the amount of interest and contributions by yourselves.
I am happy to edit the mountains history and material that is out there, but I need to know where it is.
Currently I am getting heaps of ideas and contacts through 2 great Aussie

The format                   *sk8ing home
 
My plan so far is to present the book by eras and to divide each era into the same keys elements.
If the content is large enough each State will be represented separately.
Within each State the following areas will be addressed:
*    Skaters,
*    Terrain/Parks,
*    Shops,
*    Media and

The Idea                            *sk8ing home
 
Glued to the tele watching  ‘Tick Tac to Heel Flip’ one evening I get thinking.... why attempt to do an egotistical solo effort.  The Australian skate history is as deep and colourful as the seppos, if I can get everyone on board, collectively we can produce one killer high quality bible.

The revival of the Australian Old School scene has hit Australia, Brad Shaw organises one hell of a weekend at Maroubra Sydney. Most of the crew are there!
 
John da Fox, Wedge Francis, Tim Dawe, John Findlay, Cam Ward, Justin Cox, Danny Van, Mick Mullhal, Matt Davis, Steve Gourlay, Bret Connolly.......and more.
 
Being the photo dork I am I bring cameras and photo albums.
The crew are pretty stoke on the history and memories seeping off the pages and suggest I put a photo book together!
