j.jessee 1987.


i was 14. we snuck into this contest two days in a row.
jason was ripping we cheered for him and tom groholski.
we saw craig johnson slam and his dreads went flying. cab
and hosoi were battle-ing it out for airs. as a kid it was so
cool to see your heros skate in person.

Is that the dude that wears two hats now?

Cab & Christian were battling it out again two weeks ago at the new San Jose Park. Heroes then, legends now.

Would love to see "the dude who wears two hats now" hit the masters circuit just for the hell of it.

There were a couple contests there, right? Or were they the same weekend? Didn't Ben win a lip trick contest on the same ramp? The years are mushing together.
