Ted Emmer and His Twenty Four

Ted Emmer hitting Del Mar on his cruiser. Taken from the first issue of Freestylin' magazine. He was rocking those 71 spoke Z-Wheels. Not having 72 had something to do not being able to put one at the valve stem hole. Great picture.

This dude was all I could
Think about a few years back when I started taking my 24" to the skatepark. I'm glad there is no video I have ever seen of these DelMar shots, love that this style is just frozen in time in B&W no less. Slammed seat, 80's skater style, matching vans, seat and pad set, crazy kick out style. Bad ass.

Ed, if you want to borrow it, I have the actual AFA video from the same Del Mar contest. It has Ted riding along with a semi-coherent inverview.

I will need to get it from you sometime this week Eben so I can transfer it. Maybe Thursday.
