CLEARLY!  Clothing in a sauna is just stupid.  Clearly something to hide/homophobe.  Ever been to a gym O'Dell?

Do you mean Arto or O'Dell? Cause if you're a skateboarder and have never seen an Arto part... That's just fucking weird.

is such a big deal for americans to see other guys dick in the sauna?

[A MAN]

I'd totally forgotten about how important the Euro contest circuit was back then. It was such a good summer always of 3 big contests in a row with every amazing pro attending and then the 411 Euro video covering it all. Shame that's gone. What killed it off? Recession? Street League/Maloof?

i remember always being so stoked whenever the 411 europe contest videos would come out in the mid to late 90s. it was those and tampa when you would see who the next "big" guys were. was 98 the year BA got SOTY? i think the munster contest was where everyone decided "hell yeah, this is the guy."

there was some interview or video or something, and i forget who said it, but they basically said everyone was over going to those contests because the guy who organized them was a dick and ripping everyone off. there was basically one guy who ran the circuit and he was blowing it and pissed a lot of people off. something to that extent.

Yeah there was the boycott in '96, dudes were super bummed when they showed up and it was the exact same layout as the year prior, same ramps, a really weak prize purse, meanwhile the one dude running it showed up in a lamborghini diablo or something.  There was a video piece on this somewhere, but I can't for the life of me, remember what it's from.  Maybe Mike V's greatest hits or something?  There was also something about Greg Carroll fighting someone on the course, I think.

I so miss those days.  The Europe contests were the true test of who was killing it harder.  No politics, no selective entry, just whoever can pull the best runs, straight up.  Slam City Jam was fucking killer too, so bummed they don't have it anymore. 

I tried to bring this up in that BA hater thread a while ago.  If you were around for those days, there's no fucking possible way you could hate on BA.  He wasn't ever some sort of competition skater that practiced runs and played it safe just to get on the podium.  Dude's a straight up street skater and comes and takes the Munster Mastership two fucking years in a row with really groundbreaking runs.  Switch nosegrind half cab in a run was just unheard of for that shit at the time.  It was unbelievable. 

Of course, Arto coming just behind him as barely an AM was ridiculous.  I could never understand his clear the flat to front board at the '98 Munster.  Holding the shifty for that long and high on your feet solid enough to lock the front board just blew my mind at the time.  Gnar boots!

Yeah that was what was so exciting about the Euro summer contests - it was this intense window where everyone travelled together and if you skated amazingly then you won - that simple. None of the mafia like family it seems to be now, I doubt an unknown Am could charge into 2nd place against pros so easily now. I think the same year Arto blew up was when Rodrigo TX destroyed the czech contest and basically turned pro from that one line

Probably quite a simliar story to Artos in a way

i always imagine american saunas with people crossing their legs, awkwardly staring at the floor and yelling "NO HOMO NO HOMO" all the time.

Very true.  Same story just a year later and at the Prague comp. 

I remember that run distinctly from VHS over 10 years ago, haha.  Ending that super, super, super long flawless run with the huge nollie bs heel, must have been completely finished and exhausted after that.  There was the thing about Og de Souza too, really rad.

Those were the days.  It seems TX just kinda faded outta the contest thing after that.  I don't recall him even entering after that.

Arto winning the Cali contest at "Skate Street" with the criss-cross-crash course shortly after that Euro circuit just totally cemented him into super stardom.  Comes and WINS a comp. right in the heart of Cali when he's still just an am, just beating out McCrank, also just AM at that time.  Jaw dropper.  Templeton put it best, "This contest made it painfully evident the new generation is among us and pros need to get their acts together.  Top three in the finals were two ams (Arto & McCrank, 1st & 2nd) and one Rookie Pro (Kerry Getz, 3rd).
