Great 8mm footage...I used to skate Skatopia too, also Montebello (not the new one), Covina, Whittier, Torrance skateparks back in the 70's...those were my good old days!...and yea, Skatopia did have a clover.
I skated Skateopia, Concrete Wave, Lakewood, Montebello, The Runway, and a couple of others. THANK YOU for the post! I bought a remake of the Santa Cruz Streetskate and still skate a few local skateparks here in San Diego @ 44!
Thanks for posting this!!! Hey, did Skatopia have the "Clover" or was that Big O? Those days were magical to me as a kid....wish parks like that were still around.
Bitch'n footage... The two tone OP shorts with nikes are classic... Its funny how we were able to get off on those wobbly trucks about 2 and half inches off the deck... You don't happen to have any other pictures or movies (do you?)...
It broke my heart when Skatopia closed down.
