Pro Tec Pool Party 2005
The riders were skating like there is no tomorrow. Piles of money on the table. Rune and Patch doing full doubles runs un-planned nearly made me def from the crowd eruption. It really felt like a great moment in skate history was taking place.
The History of Skateboarding in Brasil – the 80’s
In the end of 82 the Wavecat center couldn’t survive the rollerskate crisis and closed its doors. Skateboarding was basically dead except for the “Guara” park with their national contests that turned to be the event of the year for years to come after that.
THE CLASH AT CLAIREMONT
Saturday was a good skateday. All kinds of stuff giong on. Jeff covered the Pedlow contest and I ventured down south for the Clash at Clairemont event. The old (last years) X Games ramp found a home at the Mission Valley YMCA. The vert demo consisted of most the big names. Bucky, Bob, Lincoln, and of course Tony to name a few. You know if Tony shows up the crowds will follow. He and the other skaters went right to work on the beast ramp.
Tony Hawk stalefish
I’ve be lucky enough to cover The X Games and stand on the deck of these huge ramps many times. But it always blows me away when a guy throws a ten foot plus air in front of me.
Lincoln sky master.
The demo moved into the pool and the session raged.
Chris Miller classic FSA.
Bob was on fire.
Mike Rogers got into the mix. Grind For Life was one of the event sponsors. Always cool to catch Mike skating.
Lots of booths , food and give aways. Big Bonus…. Agent Orange played pool side. It was sick!
Good times all around. Big thanks goes out to Laszlo Kelemen and to everyone else who made this event happen.
