A flash back to the glory days of skateboarding when bright colors and big boards ruled the Vert ramp. Quiksilver gave us another opportunity to relive some of our favorite 80's tricks done by some of the best Skaters from the 80's. This wasn't a contest for the groms, this was a contest for the long time skateboarder to remember what the old days used to be like. Each skater competing in the contest took the opportunity to wear their favorite 80's gear as they took turn shredding Vert ramp.The first part of the contest was broken down to two heats. After that there was a jam session where the skaters received $100 hard cash for landing certain 80's tricks. The tricks were submitted to ShredOrDie.com the weeks before the event, and then were announced off to the skaters to perform. Hosoi got $100 for doing a Christ Air! At the end of the jam session the heat scores and jam session scores wereadded up. 1st place went to none other than Mr. Tony Hawk himself, 2ndwas Andy Mac, 3rd was Mike Frazier, 4th was Hosoi, 5th was Mike Mcgill.
