Everyone loves the 80’s.  Who doesn’t love that decade?  The music was awfully awesome, the films were carefree and light, and the style.  You can’t beat the style.  Everything from the JHERI CURL to the PANTS was fresh and that decade can never be duplicated again.  Even people who weren’t born in the 80’s love the 80’s.  Just look at all these skate rats with long hair and tight pants.  The 80’s was the decade when words like brah, gnarly, and bodacious was born.

Quiksilver All 80’s Vert Jam just went down this past weekend and it was a who’s who of 80’s skateboarding.  Back then, skateboarding took on a life of its own and it’s great to see a lot of the skaters of that era are still involved.  Everyone from Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, Jeff Grosso, and Christian Hosoi were all present.  Check out the footage from Shred or Die and check out Concrete Jungle for more photos.
