Barefoot: The Lee Ralph Story

I never thought this would happen as it’s been talked about / delayed for years, but Muckmouth have finally finished it off. Not watched yet, but just seeing how young Bod looks gives some indication of how long this has been in the works. There’s going to be 8 episodes, 2 have been released so far:

Yes! Fucking finally

Yes, it was insane to see him skate in real life. I can still feel how the ramp shook when did this:

Amazing! Got to watch this!

It’s hard to explain how strange it was to see a skateboarder with a beard when Lee Ralph first appeared on the international skate scene! (No beard on the cover above though). Pure gnarler.

Finally got the chance to watch this. Great stuff.
Keen for more. I met him in Melbourne at some piss up. He was massive and was making art on leather - like Maori style friezes. Ultimate Jimmy Boyes kind of

Also, I hope there’s loads more Gregor Rankine. He’s hilarious.

I’m glad they brought up that frontside air photo at Lance’s. I was looking for it the other day but couldn’t find it. Truly one of the burliest shots in history.

Obviously worth your time but also bonus Micke Alba, Steve Douglas and Bod Boyle footage.

Sick series.

Is it finished now? Wanted to leave this until the end and just watch them all together

Mate, we haven’t hit the 90s yet.

There’s two episodes left!
I hope someone merges them all together into one continuous piece.

Nice! :+1:

Been loving these. Echoing what Forde says and hope they upload a complete episode without the credits and intro.

Planning a trip to NZ for my 40th hope i bump into Lee. That would rule. As well as finally checking out those horrible looking crusty parks.

I’m sure this has been discussed previously but I was reminded on watching this that Harry Bastard’s first Unabomber graphic was a Lee Ralph homage.

Sadly I can’t find a picture of it.

Anyway…this episode hosts a switch fs boneless in the mid 80s. On vert. In a run.
