Does anyone know whatever happened to Huck Andress? We were in cub scouts together as kids when he lived in NJ and his name recently came up in conversation with another old classmate.

I realize this forum is very old , but I just stumbled upon it, couldn't help responding.
In response to GBJ on 11/9/2004. Grasshopper is a guy by the name Of Mike Bryan. He skated with Belair Boards out of Bowie Maryland in 1977. He had special boards made for him by Belair Boards. Prior to the event you spoke of, Mike would quiet often break out his high jump gear and just mess around. He did that at a small school yard freestyle contest in North Philadelphia, Huck Andress was a touring Pro at the time with G & S skateboards, up until that time I'd never seen Mike even attempt anything over 4'5". That day he shattered his own record by jumping 5'0". He got some recognition after that and was invited to a contest in Ocean Cty Md in 1977? I recall the event was covered by Sportsworld and Mike went up against Ernie Martin and beat him! He jumped over an MG then with Ernie. After that Mike went on to the Long Beach invitational. and toured with Belair boards performing halftime shows at NFL games. and even did a local Honda commercial in Va.

the other day I found a recent clip of a guy doing a 1.6 m highjump.
They claim it to be the new world record, but I know that Trevor Baxter went over 1.6m; like a 1.63m
Nevertheless a good jump..
Go to youtube.com
Then type in: Endless Grind 2011 - 1,60m Hochsprung (Weltrekord)

I can't believe Brian Beardsley is posting here, the internet brings boy hood heros closer! I remember watching Brian's jumps on a short snippet of TV in an interest piece. I thought it was really cool and professional only ever having jumped over supermarket trolleys at that point.
Sadly I have no video from those days but I can just about manage a picture. This is from 1979 in Glasgow, Scotland at a height of 5'2". Sadly all the photos I have of anything higher are mistimed so I'm either going up or coming down.... :-)

Its really interesting to see this and the posts are so recent. I really thought that Skateboard High Jump had disappeared in the 80's as my generation got too old for it :-) It is really good to see that people are still competing in this.

ernie martin is my dad, we live in new jersey just out side of cherry hill. He held the high jump record at 5'3", does anyone know if that was broken? you can still find an advertisement of him, type "ernie martin clamper trucks" into google, and go onto the website that has something to do with vintage cal streets.

En 1993 le record du monde du skateboard high jump +¬tait 1.55m. Il +¬tait d+¬tenu par le Suisse Marcel Flubacher et l'Allemand Michael Ralle. Le record de la Tchechoslovakie, d+¬tenu par le champion du monde et de l'Europe Ludek Vasa +¬tait 1.53m. Le record de la Lettonie, d+¬tenu par le champion d'Europe et vaincoeur de la coupe du monde Janis Gailis +¬tait 1.50m. Quel est le record des USA? Quel est le record du monde aujourd'hui?

Well Mr. Flying Brian, I'm on the East Coast but there are old man skateboard terrorist cells up and down both coasts and a couple places in the middle. Downhill and Slalom has made a big resurgence, but in my case it is as much an excuse to hang out with old 70's skaters as it is to compete. And you will not believe all the new toys. There are even some high jump contests once in awhile.Hit me up at iaco@att.net and I can help put you in touch with the closest local group. If you're in CA you can choose from SD, OC, LA, SLO, Santa Cruz, San Fran, etc.Joe
