I'm pretty sure Christian was the first person I ever saw do a line of coke in person (under the ramp before skating in a contest...in 1985, I believe). Phillips was on acid. It was a pretty epic day at the SPoH. Here's a Loveletter to Jeff Phillips (featuring Christian and others): <iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/33189197?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/33189197">LOVE LETTER to Jeff Phillips</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/sixstair">Six Stair</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>
Ha ha, this thread got me to seriously think about buying a board and go to one of the skate parks here in Austin. I moved recently but used to live up by Weirdo's and they had a little half-pipe there that no one was using. I think that if had been for the public to use, I would have bought a board.
