@@michaeljohn8905I am also turning 50 this year. 😃I actually thought often about this Contest in Münster (Münster Monster Mastership) in 1989. I was already there in 1988 when I saw Gonz, Tommy G and a ton of other street skaters. Compared to 1988 this contest here in 1989 was split into the indoor 'Halfpipe' and this outdoor part with the streetstyle obstacles. I often thought about this specific contest as it was the lagest at the time and was hoping that there is any video recording that captured this amazing time and luckily I found it in this channel!

People need to know this! I started skating in ‘89, by the end of the year and into ‘90 everyone looked like Hensley clones, it was awesome. This was in the middle of nowhere Indiana, I can only assume it happened everywhere else 😂 Good story and it’s a true story, this definitely propagated all those changes that were on the horizon.

What you say is completely true. Here in New Zealand everyone skated in cut-off army pants and had a buzzcut; I was no exception. This was around the time Hensley's Pro Spotlight appeared in Transworld. He set the style for everyone.

Sick trick! I came up skating in 90s during the tech revolution. Fun times. 80s mustve be awesome with all the pools n big ramps. Where skateboarding is now is awesome, perfect mix of the two. And endless skateparks everywhere. No shortage of places to skate like back in the day

A bit more context would be great. What has changed exactly? Was this the first 50-50 down a rail? Or the first 50-50 ever? Why was there a rail anyway, when nobody skated rails at that time? Was nobody skating a rail? So many questions.
@RealSkateStories5 ай бұрын
Seems so obvious but here's the nuts and bolts of it: In an era all about going fast, stylish and big, along comes Hensley, hunched over and rolling slow- but doing undeniable tricks that changed skateboarding forever.
@pullingteeth203 ай бұрын
In 1989 Hensley was one of just a handful of pros who were street-only, and most of the ‘street-style’ contests were dominated by vert pros. Munster was a big deal, and it was the image of Hensley re-inventing the approach that had the impact, not the rail as such. After Hokus Pokus came out in early 1990, Hensley was the most influential skater worldwide and a key part in how street skating took over the game.
@luisaugustobastos47448 ай бұрын
This was the year that vert guys were getting the first spots in street competition… mostly because of the obstacles
@augustvong70577 ай бұрын
The vert-riders could go down the handrail, though. Hensley could do a lien to tail on vert. If I remember correctly ... Saw it at a demo. But true, it was hard being more technical then. I think Hensley placed in the top 5 in this contest. Kickflip kickturn on the big wall ...

Well, pretty spot-specific, I mean did anybody ever even again have the contraption to perform this move? I remember how Jamie Thomas raved over Hensley, watching everything we could get our hands upon in his wealthy parents' plushy living room.
@jamesmuller1481Ай бұрын
Just because he did one rail? Isn't that why they made it, for someone to do it?
@RealSkateStoriesАй бұрын
It was a lot more than just doing this rail. Rolling up really slow hunched over to obstacles and taking dozens of tries to make something "tech" somehow and surprisingly changed the game forever.

Gonz 50-50ed a handrail on video in 87. Hensley and this trick are both is sick but the seed was long planted before this. We were even trying em by 89 in Australia.
