Keith Lenharr aka KL is a skateboarder from Shady Grove, PA that has been skateboarding since metal wheels. He spent his youth skateboarding all over the mid atlantic and spreading his stoke of skateboarding.

I was very fortunate to meet KL when he first arrived in SD and he first moved out to work with Tracker and he immediately became my #1 skate buddy & 350cc Roomate/Brother for several years in the early 90's. And we soon bumped into 'Tall Boy' Rhino and the rest was history as they say.

Before we moved into 350cc Blaize Bluin came out to San Diego from SC to work on his 2 G&S board graphics with Mike & Sarge and actually gave me his 1st 2 prototypes to 'Hock' for 1st month's rent at 350cc~! Great memories, took him to Nude Bowl and we met up with Ricky Stiles & Brian Wood... then later that night we 'snuck' into a Grateful Dead show in Irvine~! Super fun times while he was hanging with Keith Lenharr, Terrill Tee Schmidt and the 350cc crew in SD.

Back in the early 90's I helped build the infamous Blockhead Ramp in Bonsall, CA and Tony Hawk used to come over and skate our ramp & we would go skate his ramp in Fallbrook, CA as seen in the HBO Documentary #TonyHawkHBO Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off | Official Trailer | HBO


Never back down from the challenge.
I still remember asking Tony to do a trick at the Blockhead Ramp that I had never seen anyone do before... after thinking about it for 30 minutes... Tony did the trick 1st try~! It was the start of a great friendship and led to me living in a couple of Tony's houses back in the 90's along with roommate's Joe Johnson & Ray Underhill RIP.

Skateboarding and the level of 'tricks' being performed today by Extreme sports athletes worldwide have Advanced exponentially since the practice of Flow State Meditation came into common practice in the 90's and early 2000's. The 1st time I ever experienced 100% "Flow State "for a sustained duration was back in the early 90's doing a frontside ollie about 1 foot out of the Blockhead ramp hip and got the full slow down of time while in midair and having all the time in the world to position the board for re-entry & landing... The feeling of pure 'Perfection'.
