Chicago Blow-Out Contest 1986, although I didn't go to this contest, I had the shirt for it, which I bought at, the long since closed, Sundance Cyclery in Bloomingdale, IL.

(not mine, mine was blue)

It's so rad to see an amateur Jeff Hedges rip on this ramp with a finger flip invert.

So, here's the historic street contest Savannah Slamma... THE WHOLE VIDEO!!!
At the time I thought Vallely skated better as an amateut than when he went pro.
Gonz always amazed me, and now that  I go back and watch, I'm all like "damn, back then!?!?"
Now that I watch Guerrero I think "I don't remember him tic tac-ing with tight trucks."
Dressen is still fun to watch, but everyone else is just sorta, eh?
Except Cab, his clip in this is massive, the airs, wallrides are huge! Did you see that cesslide (sp?)
A lot of the rest are just doing the judge/crown pleaser tricks, and/or are not really that great or progressive.
