^92-93? Dude, they skated it in questionable.
Speyer got the first photo/coverage of any sort there with a crook in a dogtown ad in like 89 or 90.
People didn't really start seriously sessioning clipper until like 99-2000

wasn't questionable 92? i'm gonna guess speyer/sanchez was no earlier than 91. i'm sure they didn't do a crook on a pig board w/ no nose. would've had to be post 'barnyard'.
Wade's crooks was in '91.

And you guys are all bigger dinguses than I thought if you think that's Tracer.

Speyers crook is the first thing to go down, im sure everyone saw that pic, but not a lot of people saw the Dogtown video, i would say the first widely seen clips were in Questionable, i think someone may have noseslid it in Love Child.

When it comes to Hubba, Lavar and Lennie Kirk were the kings. Though Marcus's heelflip back 5050 always stood out.


And decade as in, hubba was big in the 90's, clipper in the 2000's.

And clipper isn't that big. Its basically 12 stair skatepark size hubba with a loafed edge, that is still down 12 stairs, making the shit that has gone down on it fucking gnarly.
Are you a kook? If you would say this, the answer is “YES”
I quit skating for a time due to piling out

Wait I swear Wade Speyer's crook was in 1989? Also, BA made hubba look so small with his front blunt imo.

Pops' switch back 50 will always be my favorite thing done down clipper.

Hubba was being skated damn near a decade before Clipper.
And decade as in, hubba was big in the 90's, clipper in the 2000's.

Never saw a single pic/video do Hubba Hideout any justice. 1st trip to SF driving up I was thinking front noseslide, nosegrind, and nollie back tail (tricks that are easier on higher ledges). Got there and it was a reality check. Nollie tail immediately eliminated, fucked myself up trying to front noseslide- kept jamming my nose into the ledge a couple inches below the top. Frontside nosegrind idea got trashed after 50-50 attempts even though it was my go-to trick at the time for anything long/high. Walked away with a backside noseslide and a messed up fs 50 where I grinded more sideways than on the top of the ledge and landed in a powerslide on the bricks.

Clipper is still gnarly. The edge was rounded even before it got skated a lot so it can't be easy to lock into anything on it. Like comparing a granny green apple to a honeycrisp. Both are great in different ways.

I always loved how Mark Gonzales skates the down ledge in the same court area as Clipper.

"Mark uhh... the spots over there."

It Crazy how little Lavar killed Hubba !?!? Being that small & being able to do grown man Pro tricks on it :-|

Lavar McBride has been the only skater to get away with little kid style in Skate History

Did you win that battle? Props either way for even trying. In my case the hardest part was keeping my feet on my board between the end of the ledge and the ground. The dismount drop is so high.

I was never good at skating big stuff but I once did a noseslide on a 10 stair rail at CSUN (Cal State Northridge) auditorium; one of the brown squared/rectangular SoCal rails that are easy to lock in to. Still, the noseslide at Hubba felt way gnarlier and took more tries. Felt so good after, until about 1/2 hour later when SFPD impounded our boards for skating Pier 7.

You know what I am saying then. Nollie flip nose is fucking regular.
And lets not even go into back nose blunt...

Ok, Mr. Confident, break me of my delusions. Explain the contradiction in those statements, or anything factually incorrect about them. Hubba was big in the early to mid 90's, and Clipper started really getting sessioned in the 2000's, and is still being skated. One was big during the EMB era, one got big during the rail obsessed era. Please, explain to me how I am wrong you smug bastard.

I've heard people say that Wade's photo was in '91, but the ON video about Hubba said the photo was in an '89 issue of Thrasher.

Hubba hideout was big in the 90's when it was skateable. How many years went by before some east coast dudes got the balls to pull the knobs off? Hubba isn't still skated today because it isn't there.

I was trying to remember tricks on Clipper in the 90's beside Sheffey's and Koston's 50-50s in Mouse.  Rattray noseblunted Clipper in 98, and Markovich 5-0'd it the same year. Heath bs lipped it in 99. Kenny Reed bs 5-0 in The Reason... Anything else go down there during those years? I know they called it the diamond ledge in the 90s because of a rail there which was diamond shaped, but I can't find any footage of it right now...

I loved seeing never been done's at Hubba Hideout during the 90s. It's cool when a certain spot become a measuring stick for pro's to one up each other. Koston's backside noseblunt and BA's frontside blunt at Hubba were both fucking ridiculous. Those tricks made me realize what truly gifted skateboarders are capable of.
