Yep! Thats what our skateboards looked like back then...they were great for poos n half-pipes and just beating around the streets....it was the main form of transport for the neighborhood. In Huntington Beach we had half-pipes in lots of the fields. Not to drop names but back then, didnt matter if you were famous or not....we were all the same on the ramp or in the pool....a few of these guys came to our ramp in the field. We had a 10 side with 1 ft. of vert and the 13ft side with 3 ft. of STRAIGHT vert...Axel droppin was a rush !! Fun days!! ...still skating a bit but mostly Mt. Biking on my Santa Cruz. Gettin old but can still shred a bit....but not all this crazy kick flippin stuff....its for the youngsters. Thank you Lord for a great childhood in the late 70s and 80s! What a time to be alive !! NO ONE was "offended" by anything....just Free as could be and take it as it comes, cuz it will be ok.

This part of Virginia and where I'm from (Marion, in SWVA 6-7 hours W of here) were so radically different back then. VA Beach was light years ahead of us. I always wanted to be there instead!

Lucero, Blender, and Grosso…..none of them would mctwist. Airs, inverts, grinds….thats all they ever did and then act like circus clowns after they did not make the cut to finals.

This is rad and its my era, but i cant help but fantasize what these guys would think if a modern-day Jimmy Wilkins showed up and started floating alleyoop frontside ollies and kickflip back disaster slides across that whole bitch.😂

I was skating in the late 70's and early 80's, also in a band which started to take more time. But when these guys started doing flying 360 aerial's, flying no hand ollies and stuff, I knew it was getting crazy! By 89 I was in Europe and getting into the Gulf War. But I do remember those days, so much fun.

Phillips would have won every contest if he would have had the mctwist in his bag. You couldn’t do one , you weren’t winning anything.

That blonde girl in the sunglasses after hawks run... she looks exactly like the one in animal chin when they're skating the backyard ramp in Bakersfield. Same person?
