It’s insane what a year makes between 1985 Del Mar competition and the 1986 competition . The tricks got so much more technical , airs got bigger with everyone stylizing their own variations . Love it!

I was here.. brings tears to my eyes watching it ....

Big time. Great to hear The Culr being played at skate contests on west coast at same time we were listening to a lot of the same music in the South Eastern USA Georgia & Florida!

THANK YOU for posting all of these wonderful videos, very heart warming and fun to watch a sport at it's peak !

At 40 secs, what does Lester do? An alley-oop fast plant to body jar.. WHAT??? That was the first one I've seen .... SICK !!!

Correct

grosso HAS so much style

A few years back some of the old locals spotted a construction crew digging up the earth where the park sat . Part of the park was still in tact. The guy who spotted got ahold of some of the old locals ( including Tony Hawk ) and they skated what was left. The video is on here. I grew up across the street from this place. Sad day when they tore it down .

Big ups to JLucerro skating to "Hell Bent For Leather" by JudasPriest

0:43 that was a perfect crail stall! So sick Lester Kasai

When I was young I used to take the train down to DEl Mar/Solana Beach. I remember seeing pros there rail sliding around 1/2 of the bowl. Great stuff

I'm just as stoked now than I was back than, thats testimony to the magnitude of these guys. Every single run fantastic to watch.

Grosso ripping it up! Chris Miller has a killer fast plant.

R.I.P. Grosso

Don't disrespect your elders young ones,respect your veterans.you will get old (ONE)day.love you

Loves these vids. Thank you

Cheers for the vids, love watching this :)

I was in the arcade playing 720...

I'd like to say that watching the video is like being there but it's not. It does make me nostalgic for my days of skating at the Endless Wave in Oxnard back in the 80s before they bulldozed it... Damn you Oxnard!!

I was always down with Lance Mountain. Like if someone from Monty Python was a pro skater.

The first thing you see in here is red yellow and green and then chanting rastafari? This is why I love skateboarding culture that is how I found my roots in Rastafari specifically element made a t-shirt that said listen to Bob Marley this video is like many other videos I watch random videos that have something to do with Rastafari when there is nothing about the videos that would tell you Rastafari has mentioned or has to do with it this is the synchronicity in my life that takes place on a daily basis

@ipwinyou amen brother!

Miller, best fast plants in the business

what trick is that called at 8.08?

Hell to the Yeah !!!!!!!!!!

My name's Shawn and I'm from Newport Beach, and I' trapped behind a chain link fence!

Ken Park had the best hand plants. Fully tweaked with the stall. That's how they should be.

Grosso was flying

Noone gave a fxck back then. Whatever worked. As long as your street, flatland, pool, bowl, ramp style was innovative, fluid &/or aggressive.

I wish I knew... It's also in Gullwing's "Molecules of Motion" from 1987. I went back to check the credits however, there are no music credits for some odd reason. There are couple really good songs in the video too. I tried :-)

These guys are all quite good. Still there's one point I'd like to make. I've never liked that wide stance Cab style. Not to say that Cab sucks of course not, it's just that wide stance style just bugs me a little. I know it's about balance & it does make practical sense, it just looks odd to me.

Groholski is a ripper

What gets me is Chris Miller is wearing the Jordons when you used to be able to get them for $20 at Big 5 now they go for what? $200? WTF?? Back then, they were just a decent cheap shoe to skate in, now? A fashion statement. 🙄
