Cool vid. I'm sure I've got that comp on video somewhere. Mike D's run was amazing on it.

How smooth is Blyther? Looking at that run now, he barely stops for the whole run. Even the little flatland trick is hopping, so not too much of a breather.

Quality run and he's one of my all time favs, high and super smooth, but I think Mike D just edged him, in my opinion. Cool clip by the way as I'd not seen this before so thanks for that dude.

Check out Mike D's run at the same comp, his 540 canyon is insane for it's time and he going massive too.

Both great riders!

Feck knows where it is now. It will be packed in a box somewhere. I'll have to have a bit of a rummage.

Trying to think who else might be on it. I'm sure RonW and DMC are on it.  Martin Aparijo. I think RL Osbourne might be on it too.
Possibly Josh White.

I'll have to take a look. I think it might be back at my house though.

No worries mate, don't break your neck for it, I didn't know whether you'd have it to hand or not.

If you find it when you get chance then cool give me a shout, if not no dramas matey.

I personally think Mike D was the best Ramp/skatepark Rider of his time Blyther was smooth and stylish but Mike D just seemed to do everything before and higher than rest  :daumenhoch:

If you go on youtube, the whole video in 6 parts is there. Type in SOCKO AFA Freestyle Masters.

That came on tv in 87, I recorded most of it.  Has most of the top riders in it, good video!

Here is a link to the first part:
