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.
Turning the dials of our way-back machine to 1985, we arrive at Del Mar Skaterpark on this week’s Yuri’s 80’s Re-Vert Fantasy Skate. It’s a classic bowl clash with many of the periods top skaters.

We’re off to the windy city, Chicago, Illinois for this week’s edition of Yuri’s 80’s Re-Vert Fantasy Skate. The year was 1986 and many a midwest skater made the pilgrimage to the Chicago Blowout to see their skate heroes compete. Spinning tricks ruled the day and Tony Hawk’s back-to-back-to-back-to-back McTwists were a contest first. Check out all the action after turn and don’t forget, Yuri wants to know your top 5 skaters along with your pick for best trick. EPM “gymnast plant” Out!
We find ourselves at Mt. Trashmore circa 1985 on this week’s edition of Yuri’s 80’s Re-Vert Fantasy Skate. The sky is blue, the ramp is white and the skating is red hot.

So it seems Damon and Tyler, Cal Skate employees extraordinaire, have went all “Indiana Jones” and uncovered some great skate artifacts tucked away at the shop. The bulk of which are photos that have not seen the light of day for possibly decades. So it’s with great pleasure that we kick-off a weekly feature devoted to sharing their discoveries in what we are calling Cal Skate Relics. Check out this week’s relic after the turn. EPM “hat and whip in tow” Out!
