There wasn’t a thing Tag couldn’t pull over a channel. I have photos of him doing frontside inverts over the C.C.C.C. channel that will make your brain ache. The poloroid photo attached to the bottom of his board later wound up attached to the dashboard of my car…Ill fire up the scanner so everyone can see what it was….of course I still have it stuff like that is priceless 20 years later….

Thats me (jason Oliva) on the other side of the Ditch. This skate spot was through the woods and across a major highway near Watchung Hills Regional High School in New Jersey.
Rocky, Dan, Ben, Weep, Greg, Carl, Mike, James, The Mcdowall bros, Jimmy and Dennis Kane and all of The Raging Lamos attended this school and it is where most of us met.
Needless to say we would cut lunch once an awhile to get in some skating.Tine was limited and Weeps took the longest run’s imaginable. It could be kinda annoying but that was Weeps style he ruled all of these skate spots in New Jersey.
