The main guy spearheading H.B. Tuesdays every week, longtime GT pro back in the day, Martin Aparijo. Backwards wheelie in a circle. I still haven't learned everybody's names, so just enjoy the remaining photos.
The Huntington Beach Pier area is a skateboarding spot going back the the late 1970's. BMX freestylers started riding there regularly, on the weekends, in the mid-1980's. I was one of the locals there, nearly every weekend, from 1987 through about 1992. SoCal flatlander, Mike Sarrail, though living in Covina, far inland, was the main local then, and Randy Lawrence rode there a lot for a while. The Lakewood crew, Ron Camero, Nathan Shimizu, Jeff Cotter, Ron McCoy and a couple more, came by once or twice a month. Martin Aparijo and Woody Itson, and other flatlanders, came by when in the area. The current H.B, Tuesdays jam goes back 7 years (maybe more). Because it's a known scene, and gets covered in social media and websites (like my blog, now), people from all over the world may show up on any given Tuesday. If you're an Old School freestyler, stop by and session when you're in the area.
