Leave it to the old guys at Concrete Disciples to get all the proper coverage of Quiksilver’s All 80s All Day street contest held last Saturday (August 9, 2008) in the parking lot behind the Quiksilver offices in Huntington Beach.
When I got down to Quik, I was blown away by what Eddie had put together. Jump ramps, big kinked quarter pipes, big banks, kickers to inclined railsliders, the 1/4 to 1/4 wallride transfer setup, a rounded 90 degree corner transfer, wallride banger box, and the big bank to parking block wedge complete with transfer jumps at both ends. Lastly, a jump ramp to minivan roof to jump ramp setup. There were an assortment of period-specific decks set up for everyone to ride as well. In other words, the throwback feel was complete and authentic.
Wish we were there. . .
