GWC The Memories

I was lucky enough to get to watch MJ backside flip that road gap across the road from psc.

^^ Farrk. That would've been so sick!

I remember at the end all the kids (including me at the time) trying to steal those big postercard ads off of each level. So fucking funny watching a bouncer chansing and grabbing kids to get a poster back.

haha i remember throwing a dim sim at a security guard. the gnarly product tosses were insane.

meeting danny way and lee ralph.

tnts spine transfer to flat and 'when tnt 90 degree ollied up the big euro, and then slid into lipslide on the edge of the bowl.'

jake duncombe skater of the year party, using my black friends i.d to get in

sneaking under the fence into the 'skaters' area blazing it up with bastien, then him takin us through to have a look at the course, nicest guy

sheckler eating shit on the rail in practice
duncombes frontside flip to flat
tosh skating the fire hydrant
a young jack crook snuck on and tre flipped the hip

shit yeah, the hello jojo premiere was insane..

being 15 at the time, seeing ellisa steamer walk in, followed by geoff rowley, and then most of the pro's rocking up was amazing back then. and getting free booze too..incredible.

skating the manual pads out front of rod laver in the morning was always fun, as terrible as they are.




the one thing that remains in my head from any globe world cup??

"woo ooh"

tnts spine transfer to flat and 'when tnt 90 degree ollied up the big euro, and then slid into lipslide on the edge of the bowl.'

is there any footage of either of these??????????????????

Dropping in for my heat run straight after Bob Burnquist with Hawk watching on the platform and wishing a big furry hole would open up in the ground and eat me!

I remember GWC's...
Can remember people hawking fake shirts out the front for $10 after it had ended, pretty sure I even have one somewhere

Haha i snuck on the year Jack did, we just walked straight in the front door at lunch time, so good.

The getrad almosts!

getting a shirt in the proddy toss ripped out of my hands by a guy who looked over 30 when I was 11

that clip was so good. the vic hotel before it got fucked. terry the barkeep shut the bar for cooly crew and was just pointing at people asking what they want to drink, free pints of jim beam for me. some dude from tassie gave me his old i.d. in there, he was 24 had red hair and the i.d. was cracked, but it served me for about 6 months, surfers and everywhere until they took it off me in my hometown. i went there a couple years later with a skateboard and there like sorry we don't let skaters stay here anymore haha.

8 places below Mullhall!

Haha yeah they were heaps suss on us we stayed there the year later but my mum paid for the room so we were chill

car incident

I painted a giant cock and balls on the flat bottom the year they had the roll in/giant quarter thing. I was eagerly awaiting the time lapse (that was being filmed for the set up activities) but I never got to see it. Did my giant flat bottom cock and balls make it to DVD? I'd love to know.

travelling from Melb down the coast with Gary V, Steve D(new Deal) and globe chaps from the world over,surfing,drinking,partying
Free VB for a whole week
Super Box with free drinks(full strength), complimented with Pizza,springers and burgers.
After parties the 44 degree won at docklands with Riot squad is a hazey memory.
crash tackling Seb Steele in the Hallway after the final event had finished

oh and paper planes were a pisser
taking sheckler and his mum to the Bra in a Limo and then getting chased out the park,almost bashed....

'06 Braddox? I think....

I was just thinking about GWC like two nights ago! Man that was the best times, BAHAH DREW! "Sprouters & Ali Bougetrad" Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeet hahahaha, drew I got a photo some where on my computer that you took of me and singha we are both mad grommie its so good. But yeah fuck, to many good memory's, the number 1 by FAR is just the memory of skateing and hanging out with shane with all the homies, fucking amazing!

06 would be about right. Was the last or second last one.

Standing in line for free beer, being told that we could now get 5 at once instead of 2, while listening to Rose Tattoo and chatting to Lee Ralph was pretty awesome.

this is a sweet memory thread <3

Man, one night there was a big bust at flinders like 5 police cares surrounded flinders..

EVERYONE BAILED HARDCORE. I think dave b got arrested?

we all thought it was rad skating to country road big set to find out no one wanted to skate it... lol zomg.


Oh, what happened to that NUGGET kid? is he still around? He was a shane aswell...
