Welcome back to Real Skate Stories.

1986,

everything changed. Deep in Houston,

Texas, the legendary skate park of

Houston became the battleground for one

of the most iconic contests in

skateboarding history. The Shut Up and

Skate Prom Championship. Towering above

the crowd stood the massive Kahuna Vert

Ramp blazing red in all its glory to

witness history. This wasn't just

another competition. It was where

fearless style collided with technical

revolution.

The MC Twist was no longer a dream. It

was the standard.

Every run demanded bigger airs, faster

lines, and absolute commitment.

A new generations of legends dropped in.

Tony Hawk, Lance Mountain, Chris Miller,

Lester Casai, John Gibson,

and defending his home turf with

unmatched speed, power, and flare. Texas

hero Jeff Phillips.

Style and height personified by

Christian Hosoy was still taking top

honors more times than not

>> on this rocket air right here. The night

before we were at the hotel room making

up tricks and I was like two feet on the

tail, two heads on the nose. I think it

was blender. He's like rocket air. And

uh this is probably right after I

learned it. Took me like three tries to

finally land it and

the rocket air is uh born.

>> It landed right there in Houston, Texas

at the skatepark in Houston on the

Kahuna burnt ramp.

>> 1986 best friend.

>> But a new era of tech skateboarding

ushered in by Mike McIll. We're moving

in fast and starting to dominate the

sport. Sanctioned as part of the NSA

Southwest Regional Championships, the

stakes couldn't have been higher. Every

second on the ramp pushed vert skating

into a new era. The 1986

shut up and skate prom championship.

Legends flew, history was written, and

Vert would never be the same.

>> I'm back to rap. All right, we're here

skating in Houston. They're pretty

rough.

>> All I want to tell you is

>> I'm going to learn lean plants right

now. All right.

>> It is up.

>> Hey, Don.

This is my new new deal. I'm going to

wear this forever.

>> Split personality. Is it the deal?

>> No. No. It's beyond casual. That's my

new theme. Beyond casual. More than

casual.
