The Beta vs. VHS wars were going strong during the 1979 Winchester Open and that’s exactly where we are heading on this week’s Yuri’s 80’s Re-Vert Fantasy Skate. Skateboarding as well as broadcast technology has come a long way in 30 years. Check out all the gee golly action after the turn and be sure to listen to some of the music playing during the runs.

Foss killed it!

Thanks for posting these. I have not seen this coverage. I skated Winchester the first day it was open and the last (R.I.P.). Got to attend all the contests Hester Series, Gold Cup, etc. I forgot about the Lama Flex team those guys were ruling back then. After watching this I can see why nobody does POGO’s anymore.
My ear oh yeah 🙂
“intense maneuvers”
Hefty wages of $1000 for 1st place , lol
I had to turn the sound off. Those guys are such jerks.
