'93 or '94 on Hai Karate in Tucson.

Kevin, I'm sure 'Mork from Ork' got his fashions from seeing you. Bobby, as I post up this photo, I challenge you for 'best ass and legs' honors. Whillens harness and Vibram lug sole shoes. Circa 1977.
And once I got some EB's, Chouinard double layer canvass pants, a bandana and small stuff sac used for a chalk bag, well I looked so much better, eh?

'Gym shorts up the crack' should have been the name of the route. Submitted By: Woodchuck ATC on Nov 25, 2009

Now THIS is what the 70's did to us. Submitted By: Woodchuck ATC on Nov 25, 2009

Ha! Woodchuck, those are great. I think you win! Besides, my skater cut is no match for your 'fro. Well played, sir.

Hey Bobby, my 60's big hair stuck around through most of the 80's before I figured out it was time to go. At least the tighty gym class shorts and calf length socks were tossed long before that. And being a poor white boy, I'd call my hair a 'natural' instead of a 'fro, , 'bro'.

Great idea for a thread... everyone bust out those scanners!

Woodchuck: CLASSIC pic!!! I was laughing out loud by myself when I saw that, it's almost too good to not be staged! :) MP'ers will be hard put to best that ass'n'legs shot, you should have the crown for a while

Alan: I love the fact that you got dressed up for the summit, the tie makes you look so .... professional? ;)

Don't EVEN get me started with my lycra phase. Dangerous colors. Maybe a new post about your 'worst look' would be better than your first photo.

I agree that all the old photos are fair game ........ most embarrassing ........ worst/best lycra...... funkiest hairdo..... LET US BE THANKFUL THOSE DAYS ARE BEHIND US. (for the most part . )

Natanya needs to work on her gear rack management I believe.
Jimbo, those pants are fabulous. Find them, cherish them.
