Hi Lee, Welcome to the forum, Would this be Lee Clemens????

stoked to see you on the forum. This is Brian Wainwright, rollerskater from North Carolina. I am in California ocasionally and would really like to hook up when I am out that way. I started rollerskating in 1980 after several years of skateboarding and all I ever learned about you guys was what I saw in Skateboarder Magazine. I would be great to talk sometime. I hope you will keep us up to date as to who you are rollerskating with out there. I recieved an email from Michael Bright several months ago and have posted it on the forum. I have tried to get back in touch but his address is no longer current. I suppose you used to skate with him as well.
keep on rolling, Brian

 Hi Lee,

nice to see a post from you. Welcome to this forum! Since when have you been skating? Which style so you ride? What kind of setup do you use?

 Thanks for contributing! Karen Rennie and I have been emailing and I hope to get out there in July. It would be so great to session with rollerskaters. I also sidesurf (a term I don't hear often) and started skating around 1980, with only a few magazine photos of fred, duke and jimi scott to admire in those days. There is book out: "The Answer is Never" by Jocko Weyland, a skateboarder's history of the world. It's written by a skater friend who does an excellent job of going down memory lane for any skater 30 or older. He mentions rollerskating as part of that history. A read you will enjoy. There is a history with you guys, as this book lightly touches upon. Have you heard of a rollerskater in San Diego named Papo? He was the only other one in NY. I hope to hear more about the goings on with torrance vert sk8rs. Keep us posted!
