Roger Seliner at Overton Shell in Memphis Cheapskates demo

Alva demo at the Overton Shell in Memphis, Ron Hale from Cheapskates put on the demo (thanks!). There was a contest before the demo, Roger Seliner, Toby O'Byrnes, Wes Briggs and Mike Lassiter were all there. After the demo, they auctioned off the ramp so we made a quick call to Ross at Skateworld in Corinth and we bought it for about $1200.

Back to the highlights..Roger was ripping, Brad Mullins was playing air synth to "Jungle Love" (oh we oh we oh) and oh yeah, Roger's pretty much the best dude ever.

Killer.

If that's the same Roger I'm thinking of, I remember seeing him skate in like 1986. He was doing the most stylish G-Turns that just blew my mind.

Every skater in Memphis is lucky to have grown up with a shop like Cheapskates. Ron rules, and so did his pythons and iguanas!!!
