Some cool pics from Ken Salerno sitting on my drive way too long. We are close to getting some video footage of Steve skating so I figured I would stoke the fire about Steve today. Anyone want to fill in the blanks about Steve feel free to add to the entry in the comment section.

PS:

I am going to attempt to add these Share with buttons to the whole site, should only take a year and a day, hope you dig em. The ones on the sidebar are useful for sharing the entire site the one below is for the individual post. Try them out and tell me what you think.

Ken Salerno sent me some cool pix I need to get in the archive. Here is one of our Hero Steamboat, “Team Steam” adorning his helmet and a big ole “S” on his board. Here we have him doing a large method air and banging his trucks on the metal roof beams. If you think its an accident here is another shot, apparently he was doing it all day. 

Nice one!!

So this looks to be around 91-92 The Raging Lamos played at the indoor park in Brick Township… Ill let dennis tell it..

jason

I think that that was at the Brick NJ indoor skate park (Impact Zone) contest/Raging Lamos jam (c. ’91-’92). You know the one. Jim sent in a group shot. (However, I may be totally wrong). I am sporting an old skull bucket that one of the Charno Brothers gave me, which I still wear. That might be Tag’s hand hold the seat. If I was to guess, Rocky with his hand up in the back. He often did that. I do not remember Ian by name, but that could be him. Anytime someone asks me to hold a hair for then to do an invert on, I always seem to say “Sure!”

This was a great day one of the last huge gatherings of Steam members as well…as this Geoff Graham shot shows:

Geoff Graham foto on the timer, getting in one last stage dive. Rounding out the roll call: Kelly Ryan; Rocky (Vertone), (Jim) Murphy, Dennis (Kane), Charno (Rick Steamboat Charnoski), Moose (Darren Menditto), (Dan)Tag, me (Jimmy Kane) , Barker, Weep (Chris Blank), Jason (Oliva), Al B(aker), Steve D, Dr K and Billy (Collectivelly known as The Raging Lamos).

I cant get enough of this photo!!

Who new it would take 15 years before I would meet Ken Salerno and he was there snapping pics the whole time.

161: The House of Steam Year One 2007

The House of Steam Logo Art By Steve Mannion

Hello All

Well by July 20th 2007 The House of Steam will be One Year Old!!

The archive currently has over 170 entries spread across 400 searchable categories.

In order to celebrate our accomplishment I have assembled a Year One Celebration video.

I would like to thank Sophie for all her help and support with the archive.

I would like to thank all the people I have been in contact with (especially via email) who have contributed photos, stories and most importanty time.

To me The House of Steam is an open ended community driven archive. What it does and where it goes is up to you so keep contributing. It is only a matter of time before The House of Steam becomes an important peice of skate history. It is not if it is when. I recall something sprayed on the outside wall of The Barn after it was all closed up, it said…The Time is Now.

so true.

Too cool!

Check out Underdog on Myspace!!

I haven’t thought about City(you know the joke) Gardens in Trenton in a looong time. I think it was Jimmy Kane who saw a 21 an over Descendent’s show there and only 12-15 people over 21 could get in. I also remember HR playing the trumpet during a Bad Brains set instead of singing the songs…(Aaaarrrgh). Anyone at the Circle Jerk show that didn’t start till like 4am? Everyone stuck around and the band kept calling from the road on there way to the gig.

Oh yeah and The Raging Lamos!

Good Times
