80s old school pics

80's Random pictures.

Andy Jordan at krts house, Cody Kreisel in Eau Claire at a bike contest - not sure why he's on the board as we all know Cody busted up his skull a few times and Doc. mentioned to stay off bikes.. but skateboards Cody?  Kevin Sisco in Moorehead at the halfpipe jam, Mark Miller in his backyard in Coon Rapids, MN.  Todd Miska and Ron Herman on the small ramp at Dave's sport shop in Fridley, MN. Two pictures of Mike Sopkowiak (skovy for short). Dirt jumping in blaine, MN and racing at Brooklyn Park. The newspaper clipping is of 4 Blaine BMX racers entering the Robinson Northern Lights Championship at the St. Paul Civic Center back in May of 81. That was a sweet race! The 1975 Ford Ranchero was powered by the famous 460 engine. The ramps were carried by some Kelly 50's on the rear and air shocks for that quick jacked up look. This beast was driven hard and laid plenty of rubber at various parking lots. The light rear end was fun driving, especially in winter. YA - in winter too. The end of the Ranchero came with several smashes, a bad restoration job and a worthless trade-in on a truck! I remember seeing the beast a year later in some used car parking lot looking like a tired old dog!

Have a good day!
