    I love the fluidity skating had back then that just doesn't exist today, with those low to the ground and surf style moves. Maybe the tiny boards had something to do with it, or it might also be because the video footage is always slowed way down. lol 7:30 Or sped up.

    If you skated all events meaning freestyle ,slalom,bowl or vert than you were called a triple threat. I was a triple threat and just being a bit modest but it's true. That's why Sims East when they began were so successful because all of the team including Mike Folmer and Scott Mcranels,Chris West, Joe SantAngelo were placing in all three events. Tony Alva had this talent totally down. Including Barrel jumping and high jump. The circus days as well.

    Thank you for all your videos and history. Do you see a WLA Courthouse video coming in the future? With all the great skating that came out of there, it would make a great video in my opinion from your perspective. I grew up 2 blocks from there from 85-96 so its close to my heart and will be demolished soon. Please let me know if I can fill you in on any history of this place. Thanks again.

      @ I know. I was skating with Eric a lot at that time and after that. He would give me shoes and his boards. Tony Alva also lived one block away in 88’ and was the first actual pro I saw there. Also sold me and my friends boards from his apartment. A lot of history there aside from the Tony Hawk game. Anyway, I like the way you present videos and it’d be cool to get your perspective.
