Cardiel, Leigh on Sea, 1992
Filed Under (OG) by Paul on 11-01-2010
Was very stoked to see Transworld post up a photo of John Cardiel taken by Skin at Leigh on Sea during a tour back in 1992. Also on the tour were Salman Agah, Mark Gonzales, Ron Chatman, Karma and Alan Petersen. A bunch of us went to see that tour so I had a look to see if any of us were in the background and there we all were on the platforms. From the left is Jacob, Little Chris, Kev, Yan and Paul plus Aaron on the lower platform next to Mark Gonzales. I’m not sure if Justin is next to Aaron, but Justin was there (ripping as always).
Anyway, really stoked as it seems nobody has seen this photo before. During the day loads of footage was filmed but sadly it was all on the now infamous lost Monster Network VHS tape (also containing the first Cornwall Trip and loads of street skating footage). Still gutted about that. The good news is that someone else was there at Leigh on Sea that day and filmed loads of the skating, see the footage under the photos below.

Everytime I see an AGAH rugby shirt I think of you Gonz!! Ha! That is quality!
Not only did i miss the bones brigade tour at Leigh, i now find out i missed this ridiculous group of misfits too….ARGGGGH!
I missed the Plan B one and also when Chris Miller was there with Hawk. Gutted.
Fuck me, the last Cards run.
Paul, that lost tape must fucking haunt you.
I never got to skate that place. Just saw it once in the wet. Pussy.
Weeds, kids, weeds.
That it does! I’ve not given up hope that one day it’ll find its way home. Although I probably should.
I saw them later that day at Rom. Cardiel was insane. Screaming as he was ollieing. Good times.
wow, all hail cardiel!!!! God i remember that day so well!
