    at 6:47 - Rowan says he always wanted to see Lee Ralph skate... then 1-2 seconds image of him doing a Madonna on a sketchy ramp - I organised this demo in summer 1989 in Brussels (Eterbeek sport centre) - we also had Ken Park and Joe Johnson present (Gator was supposed to be there but did not make it)... Ken Park did his first 540 on this ramp, it was nuts... We got some coverage on Flemish TV news the next day that I have somewhere in VHS. Afterward we went in town to drink Duvels with Lee until we passed out on the sidewalk ah ah ah I am curious to where you got the footage - I have never seen this angle but I remember Ken's wife filmed a lot that night - might it be her footage? Would love to see more!
    Grosso - we met a few weeks later at the VB washed out contest - I was staying in Malba and Schroeder's room at the Days Inn (I was first sleeping in my car and they nicely let me sleep and clean up in their room) - I had a car so could drive many of you guys around - picked up Schnneer at the airport... Madness for one week before the contest was finally cancelled because of the rain - good memories
