Jason Boggs is my name. I couldn't believe that Hosoi was in this street contest at the time! I was a fan of him since I started skateboarding in 1983. The whole week was active in the city. The thrasher pasties back then were next level. The evening sessions at EMB that week were insane. @@RealSkateStories
Facts. However when you start has a lot to do with what you consider good style. Skaters from the early/mid 90s think this was stylish! Saw P Rod complaining in a recent vid about the new super tech kids lacking style. That's how we saw his generation when this first started up.
@@johnnypea43 Yeah I was standing with my then girlfriend laughing at Phelps when I bent down to pick up my backpack I heard a commotion and saw several people standing around someone by where I last saw Phelps. He was no longer in the tree and people were laughing hysterically. I recall the way everyone was laughing like some one fuck around and found out. 🤣
Was skating non-stop back then even though I was in college. Skating progressed so fast, hard to keep up. Don't miss the tiny wheels, was hard to go super fast.
I remember watching this contest on 411VM and thinking to myself that indeed it represented the arrival of something for sure. I was too young to know it was happening yet, or I probably would’ve made my Dad drop me off. That was the year we got Santa Rosa Skatepark and skating there looked exactly like it does in footage of B2B; total chaos. 93 Til infinity!
This was back in the days where RATM's debut was fresh and being played everywhere.. the end of 'Killing In The Name' really turned things up a notch. If I could go back and relive any part of my life, I think I'd go from '93 to 2000. Great times.
awesome footage! i feel Questionable might have been that tipping point, no? hella tech, but also rails, gaps, speed, distance, etc 😉 plus a few pressure flips 🤣
92 was the experimental low and slow period. By 93, a few tricks were dropped by skaters. I doubt u will see a pressure flip or a late flip or even late shove. It had already started to become more about simplifying it a bit and doing it faster, higher and with style. I think by 94 skating cane of age and set the bar.
Starting in 1990, as Freestyle contests were coming to a close, they carried on through 1991 and 1992 in CASL and NSA, while being promoted as Flatland contests. Just renaming Freestyle to Flatland, attracted more street skaters to enter, while most Freestylers quit competing, because it quickly became an awkward experience mixing the two. However, I'm certain that Freestyle tricks inspired many skaters of other genres to incorporate into their own style of skating. I discuss a lot about that and the transition between Freestyle and Street in my final skate documentary titled, 'DETERMINATION Transforming Adversity into Opportunity'
@RealSkateStories Yep, I was one of the few remaining Freestyle skaters that also enjoyed skating street and mini ramp who continued to compete with Street skaters in the Freestyle "Flatland" contests.
Someone lofting nollies on the pyramid! Tho it could be anyone, I’m guessing it’s probably Salmon Agah, Maybe Paulo Diaz? I know his switch game had rise like yeast back then too!
This contest was where Girl was unveiled when the World pros skated blanks with the stickers and had the logo tees
🎯 Boom.
That was me in red helmet doing the front blunt slide, nose grinds, backside 180 kick flip, and transfer ollie.
That's so crazy I bet to see your old footage and on a important day for skateboarding as a whole.
If your for real
Rad, I thought that was Ed Templeton. what's your name, I will credit you.

I thought that front blunt was one of the most stylish tricks in this whole video. Right on, man!
Red helmet was Ed Templeton,a quick search on back to the city(411) and other videos makes it pretty clear who it was.

Truth! I loved Shogo back in the Skateboarder Magazine days!

Damn, Tony, you a important historian in the culture of skateboard riding, my dawg. Much respect.
I was at the "Back to the City" contests in 92 93, it was nuts. Jake Phelps up in a tree, yelling at people! 🤣
😂
RIP Jake Phelps
I vaguely remember Phelps falling out of the tree.
😮@@PatrickTaylor-nm2se Missed that, but it's on brand 😂

This contest was the year I first started skateboarding for real and will always be in my memory
Tony thanks for sharing another blast to the past footage. It always bring back great memories.
Sooo good to see. Now we need a nineclub analysis... great, thank You

Wade Speyer! Going twice as fast as everyone else.

Agree about Questionable. Seemed like a line in the sand was drawn.
@@RealSkateStories thanks for making all this old material available! it´s important for skateboarding! 🤜🤛

You nailed it. We saw this chapter of skateboarding as street freestyle.

The Ballers, what a great album. Wish they made more
Hosoi was probably the oldest person there at like 25... crazy.
Amazing! Such unorganized mayhem too! Lol! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. 😊
I could watch this all fkn day!
cheers from Tel Aviv
Whaaaat..was that Hosoi in the mix doing 5 0s and lipslides on the bump to boxledge? Trippy seeing him in a sea of young tech dogs.
Guy's got the last trick ; )
🙌
Could have had a lot more dialogue in the video, like who are the skaters, new tricks being done, etc.
Thank you!! I'll narrate more in the next one.
top tiers 💪😉

Small Wheels Big Pants and lots of Balls that haven't dropped yet...
This is actually after the small wheel big pant era. Most of these guys are all 18+ so you got it all wrong.
Disco in Frisco!!!!,tks
4.05 Mc Natt 360 flip grind the box! bad ass!
I was wondering if that's who did it, as he had that trick in other contests back then when basically no one else did. Thanks!
Hilarious to think all these street pros had to drag Protec's to SF.
93 'til
is that henry? switch tre/switch backside flip with the brown plaid vest
Back In the days I was there Young
Skateboarding tour before the event started at that time
It was better in the 80s Era!!
That's all because of a real enjoyable sport!!
Disco in Frisco.
Tell us the day. All youve said so far is 1993. Im assuming summer
