A few photos from the late 70's and early 80's skateboard era. We're talking 1/4 ramps, drained swimming pools and concrete skateboard parks. Kicking it old school in an east cost surf styl-eee. "Live to Skate, Skate to Live". Long live the old Concrete Connection Skatepark.

  • oh man...this blew my mind seeing this vid ! Steve, i skated with you at CC for many years..with Ed D. Kenny Bum. Looper. and tons of other guys. i was on the CC Skate team...that looks like the pool at Fountain Square apartments ?...i remember skating there a few times...i still have my old Steve Cab/Powell deck . i got a bunch of pics from CC, as well as the old Polar Palace skatepark.....remember that one?

  • @pointnozzleaway

    Very cool! What's your name. I was trying to figure out who you were by your video channel and could not. How rare that you were at so many of these sessions. Of course I remember the old Polar Palace park. I am surprised that none of the photos from there made it onto my slideshow. Please post one with your old pics. I'd love to see some other photos from that era. Thanks for posting.

  • Steve!!

    It's John Waite!! Awesome Pictures..Where any of these ones I took?? John Waite!! Be good!!

  • Hey John,

    Not sure which of these, if any that you might have taken. I honestly do not know who took many of them, I have had them for so long. You probably did take a few of them. Great to hear from you. Hope that you are well.

see all

  • It is a device made out of PVC pipe and is called a "Clyde Slide" invented/created by a surfer/skater out of FL. His first name was Clyde, but I cannot remember his last name. He used to skate and surf with Kelly Lynn and Sea Dog Messsenger.

  • Isn't that one of Stacy Peralta's "lappers" on the guy's setup in the last pic?
