I was very intrigued with the pissdrunx but was very intimidated by the kids in high school who tried to emulate them. Kinda the first time I realized skating was way cooler than surfing.

For various reasons, Mike V was beating the crap out of everybody. Except Kip Brennan.

Probably my favorite time in skating. Tampa ams/pros were way more gnarlier and intimate.  Before Nike came in to sponsor it. Everything seemed more core and raw back then. The best time of my life.

you could tape over your trick if you rewinded.
you could degrade the footage by taping over bails.
you could watch the trick on a little window of the camera but otherwise, wait til the video comes out.

word of mouth. spots had colloquial names like 'gagne ledge' and apocraphyl tales of gnar gone down. 'jay's gap' in olympia washington, according to folklore had been nollie bigspin flipped by 'jay'.
steve olson had 360 flipped of the maze gap at the capitol and so on.
no video library to confirm or deny.
elissa steamer and jaime reyes were the only girl street rippers.

I was there the day Steve Olson was attempting to 360 flip the maze gap, 1990/91. He tried several times and came close but never landed it. At least not on that day and that’s the only time I ever saw him try it.

Curious what “Jays gap” is?

My memory is fucked so entirely possible my timeline is off but I’m getting visions of

Axions or Circas with weed pockets, Shortys and Muska, using deodorant to wax picnic tables, flameboy and wet willy, Tony Hawk with a bull-fighting cape on, Reynolds drinking with orangutans, classic Transworld videos, ordering from CCS magazine, mailing dollars in envelopes for stickers, CKY Baker and Piss Drunx corrupting my young mind, getting 411VM VHS in the mail

A big difference between then and now is that we weren’t all so connected, so what we my and my lil homies were watching, how we were dressing and what pros we were obsessed with may be totally different than what was going on with other skaters. The internet didn’t matter nearly as much to skating. We read transworld and bought videos from the skate shop but other than that we were our own little bubble.
Dude, you nailed it..spot on

Loose jeans, shirts and hoodies.
Large, puffy shoes.
Skateboarding was on an upward trajectory to mass appeal.
Not much in the way of skatestoppers, or local by-laws banning skating.
Wooden outdoor skateparks were common enough.
Photosythesis, WFTW, Modus Operandi and Menikmati were all heavy hitter skate videos.  Almost 20 years later, they're still banging, relevant and have aged well.

Let me preface this post with the fact that I am slightly inebriated, very uneducated and I havent read any papers or done any research at all, or read your post really.

Nike and Adidas existed but were not cool whatsoever

People collected the free CCS catalogs

Es was THE team.

Energy drinks didn't exist yet, Sprite was the drink of choice:

I just want everyone to know that I'm only 32.8% skateboarder, and that's on a good day. The rest is just soy and cum.

Rowley was SOTY. Meanwhile over at Transworld's reader poll, Muska won Best Street Skater and Smolik won "Best Style". It was a wild time.

Baker , CCS brochures sent to the house for free, CKY videos and doing stupid shit of the sort, fat comfy Globes, flameboy and wet willy. Reminiscing this was my favorite time to be skateboarding.
Me and my homie would go to his house after school and play Duke Nukem and then his mom would take us to the skatepark at night

Ccs mailorder catalogues told you what was out

Getting a Transworld Pro Spotlight (with pull out poster) was a big deal

VHS were made and sold well.  A top tier skate company vid would sell around 50,000 copies worldwide, with god knows how many home dupes being made off from each one.

pre 2000 folks were really worried that it would be complete bedlam because of 2000 related computer programming issues would fry certain motherboards and Skynet would become sentient. 2000 was weird and felt like a dystopian nightmare because the president lost the popular vote but won the electoral vote. but 2001 was heavier and overly patriotic. kickflips were all uphill- both ways- in the snow. I don't know. I was going to just post the Conan year 2000 Lovitz video too.

  When I look back at 2000 I think of those stupid beanies with the bill on them, big, puffy over-technical shoes, and a lot of good music was happening.
