An 80's Skateboard Trick Education by Tony Hawk
Friday, February 7, 2014
Ride just dropped this video below of Tony Hawk introducing his Krooked Guest Board along with a nice list of 80's tricks to complement. I started skating in the late 80's but I'm still super rusty on my trick names, so I know you definitely are, right? Here's the trick names in order that Tony did them. I had to consult with resident skateboard trick caller Ryan Clements as my fact checker here. Watch for that guest board in The Boardr Store soon.

Jason Rothmeyer's Perfect World Part

One time back in the day when Thrasher did an interview with Gonz and asked him who his favorite skater was, he said Jason Rothmeyer. When you've been around skateboarding as both a professional skateboarder and working in the industry for this long, the stories like that are endless. We've been working with Jason Rothmeyer on planning and organizing skateboaring events for more than a decade now, where he has been the lead judge and chief critic of everything behind the scenes. We are looking forward to the next decade of projects in skateboarding with Jason. Speaking of decades, let's go back a couple to his Santa Cruz Perfect World part.
