Dave Padulo on their first ramp NJ 80’s
Five sheets of plywood and several cords of firewood? I believe skate architecture has evolved into more economic designs than this but hey it was all uncharted territory back then…you had to skate what you could build.
That’s me in freakin 1980 man! London Calling, Freedom of Choice, Back In Black all just released into the world. Hard to believe they were ever “new”. Like us I guess.
Dave
Checkout Matt today back in the saddle skating away with Dave and his Nephews up and down the East Coast.

I flew into NYC for the first annual History of East Coast Skateboarding Summit. It was a two day event and well attended (Me Adam and Rod), alliances were formed, refreshments were served and some choice new SHUT gear and THOS Stickers were offered as take aways.
Rodney’s Office SHUT 2008
It was held in Rodney’s office were we sat down for hours trying to put the world to right. In the end we walked away with the knowledge that the story is being told and told well and The House of Steam is the place for it all to be and my continued stewardship is being watched and approved. Keep an eye out in your mailbox for an invite to the next History of East Coast Skateboarding Summit in 2009 were we will get together and continue the discussion about patch working this story together to better present our unity and roots.
