http://dwskatesurf.com The City of Philadelphia permitted the first true street contest to be held at City Hall on Saturday, but not without some resistance from the police and weather.

One day the Philadelphia Police Department were issuing tickets to skaters sessioning City Hall. The next day the street ramp crew was drilling into the floor to install a handrail, to be used in the first true Street competition in the history of the X Games.Kevin Taylor, Kareem Campbell, Chris Senn, Kyle Berard, Ricky Oyola, Kerry Getz, Josh Kalis, Eric Koston, Rick McCrank

  • Started skateboarding in 1998, looking back at this footage reminds me of how different things are nowadays but it's still all the same. Just wish I saw more variety in the way kids skate, dress,etc instead of just all looking the same. Skateboarding doesn't have just ONE look or style, it's anything and everything you want it to be.

  • the pros today r so much better its weird

  • Fuck The Mayor. I Diddnt Even Get To Skate Love Park.

  • i was also there that day, i had my parents drive my 8th grade ass 4.5 hours to watch this shit two years in a row. LEGALIZED SKATING in downtown philly for a day or two. met oyola and josh kalis just chillin in love park, skated the ledge with the grate below it. wow what a day

  • I remember seeing this on espn when i was like 7 before school. I recorded it on the vcr and watched it over and over again lol. This shit's OG as fuckk

  • we got chased by cops with tasers. In 2009(Cops are even more relentess, two of my friends were arrested.) I got away ITS JUST MARBLE AND STONE LET US SKATE!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i was there, i was like 4

  • Skateboarding was banned from Love.

  • im glad the first street style competition was in philly..we deserved it.
