Nostalgic Inspiration

How's this for nostalgia?

Tony Alva and Henry Hester from the 1976 Carlsbad Hang Ten World Slalom Championships.







Nice helmet Tony, I had one like that...

Photobucket

Oh to be that thin again.

Good to see that Alva and Hester are still skating after all those years too.

    Skateworld if I'm not mistaken. I've got video from some old cinefilm of that here: http://www.inperspective.com/music/skateworld.wmv

      Thanks Mark, I love that old footage. I remember when you posted it on Oldskaters and I thought you were Mark 'H' Evans.
      Big coincedence is that he was known as "H" due to his resemblance to Henry Hester.
