I never watched this back in the day. Don't know what I would have thought of it back then. Of course I knew of Gator based on all the ads, contests, and that certain event in his life that occurred. What I didn't realize is just how good Gator really was. It was kind of easy for a lot of the skaters to get overlooked/overshadowed because the mags (and vids) loved Powell Peralta, y'know? All about exposure back then and certainly, no internet. This is great to watch. Thank you.

He was a good vert rider. He got left behind when street skating became the most popular form of skating. There really were only a handful of 80's pros that made the transition to 90's relevancy. Tony Hawk was one, Cab was another, a couple more but not many.

the thing the mid 80's ramp guys didn't get: Getting 6 feet of air and kicking a leg out, then getting 6 feet of air but going backside, then getting 6 feet of air and hitting your tail on the coping, then getting 6 feet of air and flipping the board, then doing a handplant or a coping slide... is going to get fucking boring. I grew up in that era, and when street skating came out, or developed, it was sort of an "oh duh" moment. Because NONE of us kids had a fucking half pipe in our neighborhood. I knew one guy who was older with a half pipe. But I didn't know how to skate that thing. Street skating was inevitable, and it's weird everyone only thought half pipe.

Just in case anyone was wondering why there are these "lame" strips of plastic screwed left and right on the board. The boards then where, beacuse of the tapering and because of the wood used itself, prone to breaking. They really could not take a lot of punishment then. Just so you know. The science of skateboard manufacturing, especially in concern to how the wood is processed, what wood is used, lightyears more advanced now. There where almost no "pro boards" then. Meaning manufactured by skateboarders themselves.

That's not correct, a lot of people just bought'em for cruising down the streets, the 80s boards cruised really well, in 'Back to the future' for example shows Marty Mcfly using his Powell board to cruise down to school. Of course half pipes were the most progressive form of skating back then, but every pro also skated street, like Hosoi here at 10:30, and that's what appealed to kids who didn't have ramps nearby.

@@fernandomaron87 yeah, but they weren't particularly well suited for the type of skating that most kids started doing in the late 80'/early 90's. Street got popular because there weren't any ramps in a lot of places. Even mini ramps were kinda rare. I'd bet that apart from California, at any given time in the late 80's/early 90's, most states didn't even have a vert ramp anywhere, and if they did, it wasn't up for long. Try a kickflip or an impossible to manual or a nollie kickflip on a Hosoi Hammerhead board with giant wheels and then try one an early 90's Blind board. People started running wheels that were barely bigger than the bearings, and it was 100% to make flip tricks easier. Way easier on the smaller, more narrow board with smaller wheels made for skating curbs and ollieing over stuff rather than going 30 mph doing 10' airs out of a 12' tall vert ramp. But you are right though that if you are just hammering down the street at top speed, having a bigger board with bigger wheels tends to work out a bit better.
