Super Autobacs in Japan and other various JDM pics
IMO All those guys (and a few others) really set the standard for what it is today. I was never into vert (a lot of it cause I sucked at it!) but did a lot of street skating. In the mid 80's we started doing ramp style tricks on the street before it caught on. We would skate everywhere and on anything.

Wow,
Skateboarding thread, amazing. I wasn't expecting to see this, thats pretty cool!
I'm personally been skating for 9 years or so now, I don't think I'll ever really stop.
Canary, thats pretty rad that you got to skate around with those guys, I'm quite envious.

I met and/or skated with every single person on that list, including Jason Lee and Mike Vallely as well, we drove Sergie Ventura around town and took him to our fave spots one time as well, he was hooking up with one of our skate betty friends so we totally took advantage of it. aw man those were good times, it was great to see Hosoi pull himself out of the gutter and make a life for himself, I was just watching "Rising son" the other day (geez I've watched a lot of vids lately, remember video days?) and reminiscing, one of my faves if not my all time fave skater would have to be Mark Gonzales, I just love his style and creativity, and he was always busting incredibly difficult moves that he made look retarded easy.
