Hey Universal Shredders!!!!
A week ago I had spoke with Friend and Fellow Skateboarder FRED OLANDE( Z-Boy, H-Street,New Deal) of Imperial Beach, Ca. about hangin' out and BBQ'n @his House with him and his Fam. For All Those that know of Fred, DUDE RIIPPS!!!! Whether it's Parks, Ramps, Street or The Party, Fred's a TRUE PRO..PERIOD!!!! In The Late Eighties, early Nineties You could see Ads of Mr. Olande Shredding in everything from Thrasher to Skateboarder! A True San Diego Vert Skating Pioneer, Fred Skated for many companies and had The Only Vert Ramp in South San Diego with Peter Hewitt(Anti-Hero, Nike), Alphonso Rawls(Expedition One, Airwalk) and Danny Way(Plan B, DC) his closest Skate Homies!!!! It's probably why Shout outs from Mike Carroll(Girl, Lakai) or Sal Barbier (SLB, Etnies) are the norm now! If you EVER get the chance to see Fred Skate then You'll know what we mean! Here's some of the pics I took of Fred and Fam @his BBQ!!!! And Check Out His Mini!!!!

What a Beauty!!!! Only 4 Ft, a 5Ft Extension and Pool Koping!!!! KILLER!!!!



Fred with The Grillin' Skills!!!! Filipino BBQ Anyone?



Here's Leonard and Dwayne I.B. Surf Locals & Builders of The Ramp!!!!



See Peter Hewitt's recent "Built to Grind" Footy yet? Well if seeing Hewitt's Frontside 5-0 grinds are a testament to a time before when they both put in work on Fred's Vert Ramp going back to back...Then Pete your not Alone on The BEST Frontside Grinds!!!! Fred's are nothing short of Perfection!!!!



Out of All Fred's past Skateboarding Sponsors, None probably stand out more than Z-Flex!!!! An Original San Diego Z-Boy with a Lay-Back to seal the deal on the Sesh!!!!



Fun, Great Food and Ripping is what The Olande BBQ's are all About!!!! Whether You see "Rad Dad" Fred & his Fam @his Crib or his Motor home tailgating@The Charger Game or @a Laker's Game with SLB(Sal Barbier) Best believe it's The Place to Be!!!!
