Winston May

[OLDSKATERS]

Ruled the Rom in late '70's/early '80's...

Any ideas?

[H-Boyz]

Not just Rom that he ruled........he was the smoothest most stylish skater I ever saw, not aggresive...he just flowed!!!

[sean goff]

Didn't he take up boxing ?
That's what I heard anyway.

[edwin brockman]

Sean, your right about winston.  I came home from the South bank one night, put on the t.v.......holy cow Mr May got trounced in the third round.
I don't think it lasted long though!

Iv Got the eppic Winnie story.Winnie,Pete Tristrem,Me and a chick that I think some of you fuckers might know so shall remain nameless were staying at Danny Websters.Well I thought Everybody was passed out.So nameless chick and myself started getting jiggy.About 5 mins in to the session I heard a noise comming from winnies corner.I looked over from my vantage point(on the floor with pole in the hole).Winnston"ok fuck it i got let this thing go"We saw this sillouett of a baby leg swing up and hit him in the chest.Well she got up and fucking booked. curiousity kept me there.haha.

 AS NOTICED ABOUT PRO SKATERS AS NORMAL,NO MENTION ABOUT THE PEOPLE THEY SKATED
WITH OR THE LAUGHS AND JOKES WE HAD,WHEN THEIR WAS NO MONEY IN THE SPORT.
WE REMEMER B/B DAYYS AND TRADEWINGS .
BUT LITTLE SEEMS TO BE REMEMBERD ABOUT US AS WE WERE SKAKTEING HERE THEIR AND
EVERYWHERE.WITH THE LOVE OF HAVING A SESSION,OR SEEING A NEW TRICK ,NOT TO SUPPORT THE SPORT BUT THE LOVE OF IT?.

THE VIBE HAS GOT ME AGAIN(COLLERBONE BROKE AT SKATERHAM).

[H-Boyz]

Stewart if you haven't already seen it "Rolling through the decades" is well worth a watch as it covers some of the dark days but Winstan didn't really cover the Harrow scene in the early 80's which is of course a subject close to my heart...

The Rom Winston was Winston May, amazing skater who went on to become a pro-boxer.  Met his son at Rom this summer, looks to be following in the old man's shoes.

[Mark Evans_H]

Got anything with him in his flyaway?
