post from TI -

It is with great sadness that I write this post, for this past week the Australian skate world has lost another legend - Grant "Biff" Murdoch. Biff was one of the first few in Aus to have his name printed on a skateboard deck, alongside Adrian Errol Jones in the early/mid 80's. As a grom I always wanted one of his decks for the striking skull & crossbones graphic - and the interesting cut-outs..! Although funnily enough it was several years before I ever saw him actually skate, which was perhaps first at Mona Vale vert ramp. Soon after that he was a Bondi local for a period, ripping the old vert ramp in its glory years, and then went on to leave his mark on the bowl in the early days, before a solid slam into the waterfall smashed him with a heavy hip injury, which in turn saw his last skate in there..
I hadn't seen him much at all since that unfortunate accident, but I have somewhat regularly thought of him since, wondering what he was up to, and the imprint that he left on multiple generations of Aus skaters; not to mention his early adopting of yoga and espousing it's virtues, particularly as pertaining to its benefits for skating longevity, injury prevention and healing potential.
A true legend of his time & beyond, fly high wherever your soul may now be gracing.
Vale Biff.
