i am so super-stoked and blessed.

Morris Wainwright is the shit

Got my first skateboard at 4½ years old in 1984 and I'm stoked to have skated thru the 80s, 90s, 00s to present day, I'm almost 45. It's been a privilege and lots of luck to be fortunate of not getting to injured where I had to quit like 90% of my friends had to. What a experience and one helleva ride. Hopefully I got another 30+ years left of Skateboarding in me. Watching the old school videos takes me back.

🤘🤘

Need more parks like this here in the United States…. Worldwide possibly.

Tex represents!!

Brilliant !!!!

My Mom used to drop off, me, my brother and friends during the 80’s. We’d skate all day. Didn’t want to leave. Kona practically raised us. Great memories!

1983. Board weighing in at about 4 kilos, lol. Little to no concave. A 2" nose, a 8" tail and a wheelbase of roughly 20 full inches, it's like landing on an 8X4ft sheet of plywood. Some of the most iconic tricks in skating were knocked out over the following few years.

Thanks for sharing

The true golden age. So blessed to have lived it...

Ah yes back when the only tricks were methods, Indy grabs and handplants

absolute rippers to an absolute ripper of a B-52's song

Man it would be the most awesome thing to transport Grant Taylor, Rainey Beres, Ravin Tershay Jimmy Wilkens and Kyle K back in time and blow people's minds no pads.😂😂😂

Fausto on the deck❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️ Running shit since the start!!! And that Vert ramp is my kinda ramp. You could gick that shit up with no pads🎉😂❤

I had already left Cali and started skating around the world.

First time skating Kona. 1985 Last time skating Kona. 2004. I must have passed thru that club house 5000 times by now. Working there for a year in 2000 contributed to that. Fun job btw. I'm 43 now. Had to stop skating when I broke 3 ribs attempting a Benihana over the street course funbox in. May 2004. I still go visit when I get the chance. I love Kona ❤

Imagine, 1945 is closer to 83 than 2023 😮

Some rippers!🤙🔥

Talk super raw footage 😊

This is epic bro

So fluid

I am proud, and lucky, to say, Pat and Willy Clark were the best pair of brothers a guy could be friends with growing up. If you had a problem with them, you were the problem, super guys, super fam, special people. Pat could talk you into shit that scared you in a way you knew you would live through. Pat was a guy who made you believe in yourself when it was easier not to. He was a special soul, the kind you don't meet many of in a single lifetime and lucky if one as good as he was.

...grew up skating 76-78 w/ Pat & his brother Willy...helped build their backyard half- pipe in Sterling, and we all learned frontside aerials, challenging who could go higher...great memories...

Awesome! Thanks for capturing this important contest in skateboard history! I remember reading about it in Thrasher mag. When my band NIL8 was touring I couldn't wait to see Lincoln NE!

Hey man, I love your videos. Just discovered them today. 47 and just getting back on the board after 30 years!!

Back when ramps had minimum a foot plus of actual vert.

I wish ramp contests were still like this

B52's Girls, Sex Pistols No Feelings

Halp pipe had too much vert...and the long glat bottom ...brad your stilll a dick

Love it i saw me l7ke 45 years ago ..rode my sims pure juice there every time john a steve fired up up ...still wishing i could do it again..

I was there the big bowl sucked Frontline grinding form the gorilla . Steve randy Carlos. Eddie at the Greenville golf course was the beast broke my wrist and loved every one that hung up and taught me a lesson

I grew up looking up to Benji, as a small town South Carolina skater. He is legendary in Florence for the time he showed up in flip flops and a cowboy hat and annihilated the Cage skatepark. Dude is on another level!!!

thanx for the memories

No Feelings is the best Sex Pistols song. Killer riff, lyrics say it all, applies to Malcom BIG TIME.

Jeff Phillips?

Geez! That was a pretty rad session!

Would've sounded way better without the B-52's or any music. It's too loud. I would rather hear the wheels of the skateboards rather than the music super loud.

what a skater!

The mike fraziers style...👀💎✌️🇪🇦viva frazier!!!!!!!!

yeah Dave! Hiler killed it

Great memories! Good trip!

I was here for this comp. One of my best memories

Absolutely incredible video. I used to lose myself in the park for hours. It was a great escape. The Reids were were so kind. As one of the few girl skaters, I always felt welcomed and encouraged by all. Thanks for the memories-Amy Hunter☮️

When Hosoi rode for Alva. I remember him saying he liked Prince and Sheila E.

Trying to see if I’m sitting there . I was there , was so stoke about that . Christian hosoi and his crew visited the park that year

No flat bottom. How do you react that quick heading to the next wall. That ramp is horrendous.

One of verts all time greatest for sure ! Ahead of his time, even with those tiny fucking wheels !

Kona sk8 park in Jacksonville Florida. That park raised me from the 1990s to the mid 2011s I'm in my 40s now it's been built up way better by the 90s
