Yeah all skateboarding is cool no matter what style, SK8 or die! This is a great video and the year I was born! I started in 87 skating and I appreciate all of it.
I was there,still have the ticket stub! went there Steve day and Paul barrios,Steve is the eventer of the handstand kick flip and the 180 h.k.f. Steve drove us in the grasshopper, a green citron,Bently motor, like rolls royce. we met up with Russ howell, our mentor, and friend . Russell was our major influence!!! contrary to a lie in a major movie ,Russ ripped at parks and bowls . he was a animal, a magician on a skateboard
Wow. I’m 18 and some of these events looked really cool. It feels like some of these tricks could never be pulled off with modern skateboards. Free styling comes to mind. That looked awesome. I’d love to see that kind of stuff today.

having just gotten into skating last year I thought the gorilla grip was a joke trick for beginners who couldn't ollie, and here it is in competition before the ollie was even invented for flatground 8:47 pretty amazing to see it done so well.
Ed Nadalin would gorilla grip.& jump bikes at Huntington Beach. I liked jumping over people. Get 4-5 on there hands and knees, & go. I'm grateful I never landed on anyone.
I remember getting my first skateboard with polyurethane wheels around 1978 or so. My friend’s brother built a wooden ramp in their driveway which we practiced 180s on. Board sports have been part of my life since that time. I credit California skate/surf culture for its influence to us kids growing up in the Midwest 🛹 🏂 🏄♀️
I'm 46 years old. When I was a kid I dreamed of living in southern California.It seemed like the best place on earth. It's a far cry from what it was in those days. Damn shame to such a beautiful place.
I grew up surfing and skating here in So Cal....Los Angeles county Santa monica, venice, south bay... I still live here.. But the open border has turned LA in to a 3rd world overpopulated dump.. blows. not leaving no matter how fucked the latino invaders make it here.....
@@king_torre_calchi2242 yeah, that girl can definitely get it: thicc, stacked, and flexible. I think Ellen and I can invent a few variations of the Spider.
They still do a flip trick in this video, the old school kickflip which was done back then without the Ollie. You just stick one foot on the side of the board and flip it to the side and land on it. The Ollie kickflip is just an update to this and was invented by Mullen and is what we think of as a kickflip today but essentially it’s the same trick but just Ollieing into it.
@Jamey Craig If you think skateboarding was dead in the early 90s you were either a big-arena vert skater or simply not paying attention. H-Street "Next Generation" and Plan B "Questionable" both came out in 1992 and are now acknowledged as classics full of heavyweight skating. Way, Cardiel, Agah and Carroll were the SOTYs. Switch skating first appeared. Mullen learned to skate street. Tom Penny appeared. Skateboarding was at a crucial stage and the evolution of tricks and culture in that period was incredible.
Skitch Hitchcock also did Gorilla Grip jumps-his main stunt. I saw a demo of him in 1976 at Golf Mill, Niles, IL, age 11. Mom bought me his signature board-a flat fiberglass deck w/ urethane wheels, but loose bearings!
This is when I started skateboarding at 12 years old. I grew up during the time when boards wheels and trucks were getting better and better by the year. Living in Tennessee we didn’t have the great parks like California but we started building our own ramps. I am proud to say that I was able to skate into the 1990s. There was only one or two friends of mine that truly took skateboarding seriously. We would travel to Georgia,Alabama and Florida to go to the parks to ride pools, bowls, snake runs and 1/2 pipes. Me and one of my friends got good enough to grind coping and do frontside and backside airs plus hand plants foot plants among other tricks. I think my buddy and I did pretty good coming from a area in the country with very little to ride. I know this sounds like a brag but I don’t mean it that way. It is because this video brings back memories of my beginning in the art of boarding. At least I know the people watching this video enjoys boarding and would appreciate the effort my buddy and I put into it.🤙🤙🤙
Wow. Flashback time. I think I got my first skateboard in about 1974. Maybe by the time of this competition I was using wheels wider than the trucks on a really narrow board and wondering why things became unstable when going downhill. It probably was something like a a Sims Taperkick board with sims Bowl Rider wheels and ACS 430 trucks sitting on 1/2" risers.
These are the older kids us 80s kids wanted to hang out with, but we werent cool enuff, until we started skatin'!! Then I'd slam hella hard and show off my bloody face to them...and theyd cheer!!! Ya!!!! Man I miss the 80s you guys!!!
Funny but they seriously didnt feel that way back then. And that was back when grip tape was something you put on porch stairs. But looking back and still riding today yeah my ankles hurt just looking at them.
Desaray Von Esson I was in love... She eventually worked in the pro shop atbthe Endless Wave in Oxnard... she was SO sweet...this was my era then in the 80's it became all vert.
My first skateboard was "The Shark" My parents ordered from the Sears Catalog in the 70's. The good ole days of tube socks, burgers and fries, Orange Crush soda, and scateboarding. 🥰
Went to school with some of these people, one being Ellen Berryman, who went on to become a great field biologist, and who I'm proud to call a Facebook friend.
That blond dude with the stache rode for Hobie, I believe....Russ Howell? Man, I followed skateboarding and motocross so much in those days. Still love my Road Riders #4!
Like Obi-Wan said, "elegant skating for a more civilized age." :) Cool to see the roots of what would turn into freestyle as we know it from the 80's onwards.
Some pretty incredible skills here despite the outdated tricks compared to these days. I don't know why, but I split my sides laughing when that guy @8:55 did that two board manual trick.
I'd love to take someone like Tyshawn back in time with a few completes and blown some minds lol. "He jumped over a picnic table! No, with the same board! Like the board he started with! It went over the table too! I don't know how he did it!"
I was 5 in 1976 by 1985 me and my Brother were skating all over town sliding hand rails olieing off the highest set of stairs used to skate half pipe at skate jungle fun times!
Did you see this video? I as a skater since 88 who still skates 4 times per week for an hour and more have to say... kudos. No skater today can do what they can do. We are all stiff non flexible motherfuckers now trying to be hard and tough doing a very limited set of tricks.
@@TheAlphaFlamingo ... he did ride fly without a grab over the coping. The ollie on flat changed it all. Airing over the coping without a real ollie is not the same influential trick. Rodney was just to shy to claim it.
@@oskargarden4559 💯Rodney Mullen is from a generation that encouraged creativity and he was just doing wild shit. The "standardized" shit is nothing other than people copying a bunch of moves from innovators. I give MORE props to these kids doing original shit than copy trick from skate vids. Sure, jumping off 50 stairs on some parkour skating shit is gnarly and all, but it isn't foundation, style, or original.
Kory Hermann Yes indeedy, but our sport is pretty complex these days. Flatland, street style ramps, vert ramps and slalom will hopefully the format. And maybe even huge distance and height comps too.
Wow, never thought I would see a video of this competition. I was represented by Switzerland. The Swiss Landsurfers Club. I won the European Championship in Downhill and the prize was a trip to Longbeach.I did the slalom, with all the EuropeansThnx for the video.❤
It's kinda crazy seeing this and noticing that at the time skateboarding was heading more towards popular culture than counter culture where it resided for a few decades. It took 44 years from this point to have skateboarding recognized as an Olympic sport, but I can help but think that it should have happened faster. I don't know why or exactly when, but somewhere along the line skateboarding went underground and stayed there for a good 25-30 years.

Probably about the last footage of an event just like this. Everything was about to explode in parts, pieces, who and where and brought to us in living color in Skateboarder mag! I started skating in 76 with shitty boards and wheels like this, not for long. Not much of the barefoot surfer style lasted much longer, too much money in selling shoes. And it was the dawn of flight ~ what a beautiful time to be 13 and live that bright flash in time that changed everything. So sad it was over as fast as it started.
I'd love to see current pro skaters do an old timey competition like this. It would be hilarious.
njt002 Yeah and on the boards from back then.
That actually sounds logs the greatest skate competition ever !!!!
just look up freestyle competions. they still exist and use weird ass boards
They will be. It's called the Olympics.
That freestyle has been ignored by the Olympic Committee just goes to show they are only in it for the cool points and not the sportsmanship
Even though the skateboarding skills have advanced, as a true skater, you gotta love and appreciate this.
VAL13C nah

Wow , that is just awsome .
When tony alva and jay adams showed up on the scene they changed skateboarding from gymnastics on wheels to what it is today
Straight up! You can sure see the influence that guys like Russ Howell, Ty Page, and Bruce Logan had on this group.
But was that change for the better or did it make it a completely different type of competition.
Yep! Z-boys & Dog Town
@@ItsFinishedRuss Howell was in video
The real trick was nobody’s hair got caught in their wheels.
During the handstand? I feel ya!

Look into some of this new wave of physical therapy and reclaim your movement.
Look into Donnie Thompson’s “low back protocols”, Louis Simmons reverse hyperextension, and in general, kelly starret has a lot of free information in regards to increasing and improving mobility.
Donnie Thompson is pure gold. He was a power lifter who set a world record back squat at 44 years old (1260 lbs). He attributes his longevity to very unorthodox rehab methods.

Ed Nadalin would gorilla grip.& jump bikes at Huntington Beach. I liked jumping over people. Get 4-5 on there hands and knees, & go. I'm grateful I never landed on anyone.

Skateboarding made huge jumps between the 70’s and 80’s. Tony Hawks just starting out when this went on.
