Quiksilver All 80's All Day - Orlando, Florida.

So back in 2007 I had the privilege to assist the great Tony Hawk on his Boom Boom Huck Jam Tour. That year the tour consisted of greats like:
Skateboard: Tony Hawk, Kevin Staab, Jason Ellis, Jesse Fritsch & Sergie Ventura
BMX: Kevin Robinson
FMX: Drake Mcelroy, Greg Garrison, Matt Buyten
It was one of the best moments of my life working with these greats and recently I got to relive it but back in the 80's...

A flash back to the glory days of skateboarding when bright colors and big boards ruled the Vert ramp. Quiksilver gave me another opportunity to relive some of my favorite 80's tricks done by some of the best Skaters from the 80's. This wasn't a contest for the groms, this was a contest for the long time skateboarder to remember what the old days used to be like. Each skater competing in the contest took the opportunity to wear their favorite 80's gear as they took turn shredding vert ramp.

The event took place at Surf Expo in Orlando, FL

These are some of the pics I took...

Tony's board got inducted into the Smithsonian Museum right after the event.
