Colin Taylor, frontside rock, Harrow pool, September 1980 @skate.flyer on Insta

[Frontside]

I always liked this one by TLB. Same skater, but a bit later.

[Spike]

Yup, thats Colin Taylor in 1982. There’s also this TLB slob air sequence but what you can’t see is that it’s a slob air because his left arm is in a full above elbow cast so couldn’t grab with it
