Fiftieth At Ridiculous

img959535-1

On my fiftieth birthday in October of last year, my best bro Jim Howell flew out, a huge gang of friends descended on Ridiculous and we had a full weekend of skateboarding, food and fun. My friend Anna (AVB) and her dude Greg, came down from Canada to share in the fun. She filmed a really rad video and just sent it over to me. It has a bunch of skateboarding in it… I will never forget the people that were there and the stoke they brought. Jim Howell, the Coopers, Torchia, Tony Gates, Lorrie Palmos, Griffin, Long Hair Mike, Crazy Kyle, Lance Mountain, Dave Reul and family, Brandon Wong, Salba, Shane Cole, Ripperside Shawn, AVB and Greg, Scott Foss, Upland Dan, Henry, Walt, Eric Nash, Samwise, Michelle, Michael Serna and Mel and Christian Hosoi. A few others were in and out during the long hot day. Thank you to everyone for everything. It was one of the best days I’ve ever had. Grateful.  Love- Ozzie
