  I found your web site after looking up some skating sites on the net and I
 
am impressed. You have done well with your skating tricks. I am glad you
 
learned them. I too would like to see skating come back. I am Michael Bright
 
originally from Venice, Cal. I am one of the originally roller skaters,
 
first on the beach then in the pools. We all began skating about 1974 with
 
boards and then changed to roller skates in 1977. Fred Blood, Duke René and
 
I. We all came from Carson Skatepark and we skated for Sandy and Jon Seaman
 
(the Owner). We all skated near Hermosa beach then too.  We all competed in
 
Del Mar in 1978 and many other contests including the Dog Bowl in Marina Del
 
Ray etc... I toured with Pepsi in 1979 and took on a U.S. Tour from New York
 
to Arizona. Lot's of fun. 
 
 
  I would like to see you take back bowl skating. I am 42 years old now and
 
very much alive. If Tony Alva can still skate so can I.
 
 
     Keep up our traditions,
 
                       - Mike
