More Ollie Photos

i managed to come up with some more oldies of Ollie, as you can see he likes his tail slides.
but im sure anyone would if they could do them like he does.


up ledges



and on flat banks

As seen in geldis vid

just found this old photo of ollies back tail up that ledge from in No Hat No Play so thought id share it.

not sure what happend but all the colours dont look quite right but im sure no one besides me really cares about that.

Leaving home

i planned on leaving freo bymyself today to go meet up with lloyd but i ran into nige an jackson so dragged them along aswel. had a better day then i was expecting theres so many interesting people and things to see in the city, such as this bum that thought he was security or something, see the coffee hes drinking, that came out of the bin hes sitting next to wich was the bin i was also trying to skate over wich he wasnt too happy about. poor guy

skated with some other kids aswel while i was in town, Eugene especially was doing some amazing stuff at wherever he was but kept getting kicked out before he could roll away in the end just got this fsflip over the hip the wrong way and Guy got this boneless down the silver seven

il try shoot some stuff at the momentum thing at gosnells tomorow so might have some more stuff for you too look at soon

back to work

i havnt taken any photos in a while so i decided to give the blog a holiday,


its back for now with a fancy new logo but just have to see how long itl last.


heres the last photo i took a while ago now, noddy nosebonking over a wall from a runup coverd in slippery moss, this spot was so much fun you could do the longest powerslides ever and only be going at about walking speed.


il see if i can find some old stuff to put up if i dont get anything soon, or maybe just some photos of all my dunks




oh an theres a curb just after those 3 slabs on the landing so noddy nearly broke his ankle when he didnt quite make it

Jonnis day out

Jonjon was lucky enough to be treated to a lift to the city on the weekend. he didnt shut down many spots but he was sure to let this ledge know what a k grind feels like on its not so smooth grinding edge.

get that hand off the wall jonni....

Getn Lazy

I should really be keeping this thing updated more often if im gona bother doing it, being lazy sucks so heres some shots for you kids that keep asking for them.

just some old ones of Jez tearing apart a local backyard pool that is long gona so dont bother asking where it is.

just a couple of front side carves.

look at his shadow and it reveals that jeremy is really a wearwolf.....

and an arty shot of what keeps the beast going in his natural environment

two people doing the same trick over the same gap.

both wearing the same shoes aswell...

this ones Frodo... and Matew

and the arty ones of James

A Hobbits Business, interview with

A local hobbit from the shire of fremantle, just trying to get noticed in the big wide world of consumerism,
Rowan Williamson has been a long time ripper on his board who seems to be able to skate just about anything you put in front of him in any stance that he wants. whether its flipping into some well locked trick at woolies or switch boneless 360ing down an above average sized gap hes in control of his board.
But recently this hasnt been enough for Frodo, over the last year or so he has been working on putting together his own company named Tré Apparel. With much support from the perth skate scene Frodo has just officially launched his first set of limited edition prints.

Sup Fro hows it feel to be the first interview on the photos of Aids blog?
Yeh i know its not that special...

What made you want to start up your own clothing company?

Well when I was a grommet all of my money was getting absorbed by boards and shoes so instead of buying skate shirts I used to just make stencils and then bust out the old tube of fabric paint and a paint roller or sponge on a Targét shirt.


Frodo ventured out of the shire of Fremantle one day on an adventure to the big city where he conquerd this hip with a switch fsflip

How did you get it all going in the beginning? Basically I had been hustling the link for so long that gave me three choices; I could do work for the dole, get a full-time job (fuck that) or the NEIS program… Basically the government pays me to start my own small business. It’s taken me 6 months to get this far, by the end of the year I should be supporting myself.

What kind of image is Tré going for?

Tré is not loud. Everything’s so loud these days, it’s all self promoting bullshit. Tré is more subtle, consider a falling leaf, it breaks away from the tree and seeks its own path that is Tré. Tré is not what is said, but what is not said.

Recently you held the official launch in Freo, what exactly went down?

My first ten “WOOLSTORES FOREVER” tees were finally put on sale at Momentum. It was supposed to happen the week before but it rained like a mofo. Coinciding with the launch there was also a couple of games of skate going down around the corner… A year’s hook ups by Tré was won by a French dude, Raphael, closely contested by young Tyson (damn that kids got tricks!) The carton of Cooper’s was won by Quayde.


Most hobbits like to stay close to the ground,
this one likes to try and climb walls on his skateboard

So is there much planned out for future of Tré?

The sky’s the limit. At the moment I’m just taking it one step at a time.

Any more events like the game of skate?

When I drop my next designs I was thinking of organising something similar to the last one. Except this time I wana have beats, eats and more ledge skating.

Putting a team together?

That’s all in consideration too, but like I said I’m just gonna take it one step at a time.

Tre Apparel touring Australia?

Yeah if I can hustle someone else to pay.

Do you have any tips for anyone looking to do something like you are?

Do your homework, talk to HEAPS of people…


One day Frodo came across these magical golden shoes that taught him this new trick
ollie over to back lip slide

And finally, who would you like to thank for helping you bring it all together?

The Ring, Aids, Karma, DIAS, Raoul, Margaritas, Schmorgs, Deadly Wesley, 20-11, Johnny Howard (never thought I’d say that), G-man, all my homies, Mum and The Boss.

Fun Time in Freo

Had a fun pretty much all day skate at the netball courts yesterday, thats fun for these two kids who decided they didnt have anything else to do except try and have a go on everyones board even if it was Frodos in the middle of trying a trick. im pretty sure they were there when we turned up and they were still there when we left once it was getting dark.

If that wasnt enough then this dog turned up and tried to attack anyone who rolled anywhere near the bank. but apart from that the day went alright and a few hammers went down.
