I thought woody was in his twenties then....? Brian Scura was always the old man and I think he was about 26 around 1986.
The pro's were generally a lot younger then than now. Craig Campbell was only 16 ! Now most of the top guys are around 30.
I love watching the old video's it's great seeing them ride but I always think they don't ride as well as I imagined when I read the mags. There's a lot of space in the routines and you expect a 270 drop-in but get a roll-in. I thought that yesterday when I was looking at the pipeline vids too.
Maybe I'm spoilt by all the trick ridden runs they do now !
