View from the cheap seats

No matter what the watermark would lead you to believe, this is not the Powell Peralta 80’s Vert Challenge, but rather the Quicksilver event. SInce it was a Powell Peralta production, I thought it was going to be a slick production but it’s a guy in the audience pointing a camera over everyone’s head. Maybe it was an attempt to go for 80’s realism!

    Skin tight jeans, no pads, crappy inverts and 1.5ft airs are where it’s at!!!

  2. ^ hahahahah! you an have the skin tight jeans & no pads. Everything these dudes (well into their 40s can still do is amazing!)

    That jam was sick. Sadly, the Powell Peralta edit is pure shit compared to the Quicksilver edit.

    I’m just glad they keep it real with the ladders. Too bad they weren’t store bought metal leaners.

    1. I remember seeing Steve Schneer bomb drop off a 6′ metal ladder into our (Rotation Station) steel vert ramp. Nobody holding it, sketchiest/gnarliest thing I have ever witnessed. NSA 90ish.

  4. i still love that ripper intro.

    1. Yeah, it still does it for me too You know… “it,”
