For all you kids, this was back when skating wasn't so damn mainstream like today. Years before skating was labeled an "extreme sport". I think I still have some old Thrasher mags that have Bucky Lasek as an up and coming amateur. I need to go look through those again for a little nostalgia.
mingles....i lived what you are talking about....(sounds like you did too) I worked in Skateboard shops from 85-91, and in the industry from 94- present. It was an amazing time. Demos, contest.... skate teams.... i used to organize skate teams and put on contest, and fly pros in for demos and party with them after ward........ the good olde days.
