Chris Miller appears in this half of the compiled footage. You'll have to suffer through a kid skating the 1/2-pipe for a minute, but this is the rest of the 1984 NSA Contest practice sessions.
At the end of the clip, I tagged on a few minutes of my brother and I at Upland from that same summer; nothing too exciting, that park was GUH-NAR-LEE and we only went that one time. I could reach about 2/3's up the combi wall, which is probably tiling height at DMSR. Jokes, but kinda serious.
Cheers!

What a great memory for you this long lenhgt vidéo and a great testimony of how was a pool session at that time ; it seems very calm and every skaters are focus on their « work ». And children and pro’s in the same time with obvious respect. I love dit.

Thanks for the share. Its great to see what a normal session looked like, at this legendary spot. I am surprised how quiet the session was. I'd have expected lots of hoots and hollering for a lot of those tricks that went down. Wish I could recognize more than half of the riders

@xisotopex Жыл бұрын

I noticed the same thing... tough crowd.... typical snotty socal skate punks, quite a few of them the best of the best and definitly thought of themselves as such... no shortage of egos! and maybe not a typical session, might have been practice for a contest as the description implies...

@@senortop I went to a huge contest in 89 and the following years in Münster Germany. Danny Way, Hosoi, Hawk, Cab, Natas, Bucky Lasek, Ray Barber, Vallely, Ed Templeton, and so many more were there. It was incredible. I skated for many years and actually got very good at some point...won a few amateur contests here in Germany. I still following skateboarding which has incredibly progressed even since the 90s. Have you seen up to date video parts? Insane. Chris Joslin for Plan B for example...

What can you tell me about these bowls and your experience with lappers and copers? Should I be skating my local combi with lappers? These aren’t things my generation grew up with.

@senortop 3 жыл бұрын

If they are available, they will help you learn lip tricks. They are more forgiving for sure, but the trade off is it starts to make your board heavy and clunky. Not a permanent solution, but helpful.

@xisotopex 3 жыл бұрын

dont stick a bunch of plastic crap on your board. rails, maybe but thats it

@MotorcycleSalesVideo Жыл бұрын

In the 80's, people used copers when riding pools with cement coping, and no copers when riding on ramps with metal-pipe coping. Most people don't use copers at all anymore. (Tracker trucks had great copers.)

@nkmcfrln 7 ай бұрын

Copers do what rails do, plus they protect your trucks and coping.

@finnmcginn9931 Ай бұрын

@MotorcycleSalesVideo some Australian company (I can't remember the name) made the best copers of them all back then. It was like having a cheat code.

I wonder if the replica upland combi is as gnarly as the original, with it 4' of vert and 8' of transition something like that

@senortop 3 жыл бұрын

Definitely not. The original was very imperfect, and the coping stuck out further as well. Gnarly! If you watch old Upland NSA contest; all the technical stuff is focused on the round bowl ... for a reason. 😎

@MotorcycleSalesVideo Жыл бұрын

The coping on the original Combi, was flat on top, the coping on the replica in Orange, is like Del Mar, regular pool coping.

LOL! Not sure; perhaps there was still an air of innocence & authenticity due to the fact we weren't yet exposed to the massive social media / toxic pop-culture psyop yet? But then again, "gangsta rap" was just right around the corner! LOLzzzzzz :P

why did they close this park?

@atomsk1972 7 ай бұрын

From memory, the insurance made them untenable - people would sue for any injury. They changed the law to allow 'skate at your own risk', so the parks came back - this time public.

@mr.crispeezy8431 7 ай бұрын

The vast majority of skaters of this era, myself included, attribute the creation of the McTwist to McGill. There are rumors that others did it first, but are unsubstantiated to this day.

@itsnachotube Ай бұрын

Close, but you're a little off. Jeff Phillips actually did a nollie flip 900 on Marty McFly's hover board 2-years before this was even filmed!
