Grizzly Old Man of the Sea…
November 10th, 2006
A grizzly old man of the sea in general, it is only today that David Dixon has the age to go with it. Dave is now an official member of the 30+ club which means you are allowed to complain about back ache at least 3 times a day, wear tartan slippers, take afternoon naps and pull the “you kids, you don’t know you’re born, i remember when this was all fields and we had to quarry our own curbs and make ramps out of whale bones and mahogany” card at will. Happy Birthday David!
Not that proof is needed but Dave has always been a little handy on the wizzplankaroo. Check this part from ‘Sell Your Soul’ (his own video production) from 1998, so fresh faced! (Daryl has some footage in there too, killing it).
Man, that brings back memories and well reminds of a lot of fun times.
Also its a funny story with the beige trick at end….the board I did that on was given to me by Russ who I hadn’t seen for a few years and he just showed up oneday at Milton Keynes ( where I was living at the time ). We had a skate, chatted about how good Toy Machine and Zero were at the time, and well it ended up with Russ giving me that board to replace mine, which was broken.
No one will care about this story, but I know Russ will, as now seeing the date of that written down, and with it being my birthday, It proves that Russ also joins an elite club, its at least 10 years now pal, commiserations, you made it. Theres no turning back now.
Its just Gonnella left really. I’d say 5 more hard years yet, but he’s going good so far.
Cheers fellas. Pen-knives for life. Haha
Was that old Chelmsford High street I saw in there?
