This contest will be about the eighties. Skateboard culture and fashion (bad as it was). You can pick you favorite BB Video and reenact your favorite scene, skateboard calisthenics anyone. Pick a skate picture from the eighties and try to duplicate it with yourself and friends (painters cap optional). Or just send a picture of the most eighties thing you have in your house.
We got the perfect prize for the winner.

    love some billabong
  • SK8ERSK8ER
    Cool shorts, but why did you keep those for 30 years?
  • WakeInFrightWakeInFright
    So you could ask me that very question. Nah, purchased from a flea market about one year ago for $1 each! ;)
  • BonelyBonely
    Cool idea, can't wait to see what shows up!

    Too bad I didn't keep my Rector half-gloves.

    I used to collect Nintendo Game & Watch games, produced from 1980-1989. I managed to collect all 60 of them in their original packaging (box, foam insert, plastic baggie, instructions and even the original batteries). Cost me a lot of money. I eventually sold about 3/4 of them and bought a house instead :) They were a very memorable part of my childhood.

    Any Monster Panic up in there?


  • pulse8pulse8
    Sorry, @VatoRat, no monster panic. Apart from a couple of exceptions, I only collected Nintendo games.

    Speaking of transformers, I forgot about my GI-Joe collection

    There's more but too much to dig out.

    Couldn't care less about the game....is that first generation Soundwave next to the second generation Autobots HawkHair?

    Yep wake, 1st gen Soundwave. Is it that you don't care for 720 or arcade games in general? My baby is an original Asteroids cabinet that I converted to a mame machine. It can play every game from the 70s to the late 90s. So... I've got you covered if you're not in the mood to skate or die.
  • WakeInFrightWakeInFright
    Respect given for Soundwave. Still got the box? I wasn't really that much of a gamer, except Double Dragon, Ridge Racer 1 & 2, and Rage Racer. Those games are pretty much the only games that I was like, "Cool, I completed it!", especially Rage Racer! I spent more time skating and BMXing HawkHair, and Bodyboarding!
