This week’s Yuri’s 80’s Re-Vert Fantasy Skate stop takes us to Seattle, Washington and the NSI Gotcha Grind circa 1989. Even though massive spinning air tricks ruled the day, precision lip moves a la Groholski and Schroeder started to make their way into the skating main stream. Check out all the skating along with the Super Slo-Mo cam, and some good tunes after the turn.

Now that you’ve seen it, how would you rank your top 5 along with your pick for best trick? Yuri wants to know.
87? I think this event took place in 1989?
Yep, I think your right. It did take place in 1989. There’s some commentary in the video with respect to when Peanut Brown went pro that confirms it went off 1989.
I love this weekly feature 🙂
Compare the last four videos. These guys were getting way better with time. The Tahoe contest was a slam fest. This one looks like a highlights video.
Yes they were, but the Tahoe ramp was pretty gnarly too. Not your average NSA contest ramp.
1 Hawk
2 Hosoi
3 Lance
4 Miller
5 Grosso
I could see the difference 2 years make these guys were flying. Best tricks Body Jars. Much bigger than earlier contest.
