Blackhart is a King of NorCal and an all time pool skating great. You had to be there to see it to understand just how badass he charged shit.

There were the guys who got coverage in the early magazines, but Blackhart was/is the NorCal legend. Love that pic at San Jose 9th St / VC pool aka Punk Pool. Great times.

108: is that coping dust?

[@srf2112]

No that's concrete dust, poured in place cement deck coping. I watched that live. So heavy.
