EXPO 86 - TRANSWORLD SKATEBOARDING CHAMPIONSHIP

Back in 1986, the Transworld Skateboarding Championship descended upon False Creek. Luckily, all the action was captured in the skate vid Radical Moves. Fire up the VCR, and watch some classic skaters shred in Vancity. Skate legends like Claus Grabke, Tony Hawk, Christian Hosoi, and Jeff Phillips all make an appearance in the vert competition. Rodney Mullen and Steve Caballero bust out some old school tricks in the freestyle section. OG streetwear staples like the Vans Sk8 Hi, Converse Chuck Taylor, and Vision Streetwear are all rocked by the skaters back in the day. Check out Radical Moves Part 1 & 2 for a lookback as the best skaters in the world invade Vancouver for Expo 86.
