Ty Page Websight featuring Old School Freestyle

Ty Page was one of the best freestyle skateboarders in the 1970's and was nicknamed Mr Incredible. From his signature trick (the Ty Slide* see pic) to handstands, nose wheelies ,to jumping over MG's and Triumph sports cars, Ty did it all. Check out his sight at http://www.ty-page.com/ or his myspacepage at www.myspace.com/mrincredibletypage . The double board kickflip shown in the pic is a trick I have not seen done since the 70's. Check it out. Pics courtesy of http://www.ty-page.com/
