After posting some full-pipe photos on an old-fart Facebook group page, I met Robin Ballard, a ripper from AZ in the early-to-mid nineteen-eighties. Robin had a camera and managed to do what a lot of other local skaters failed to do, capture the shredding Arizona skate scene. Since AZPX prides itself on all things Arizona Skateboarding History, we asked Mr. Ballard to share some images. He obliged and boy, there are some good ones! Enjoy!
