Description: Located near Santa Monica and Venice Beach, the infamous Marina del Rey Skatepark couldn’t have been in a better location as skateboarding was hitting its fever pitch and pool skating was all the rage. The initial park consisted of three pools, a 10’ half pipe, two intermediate bowls, a beginner bowl, a 230 yard slalom, and a large freestyle area with gentle banks. Unlike most parks at the time, the common areas between runs were finished, so you could literally skate the entire park, not unlike skating around in the 720°arcade game. During it’s relatively short life between 1978 and 1981, Marina del Rey Skatepark played host to countless locals and visitors alike, as well as big name, big money skate and BMX competitions.
Description: The High Roller opened in 1978 in the Sunnyslope area of Phoenix during the first generation of purpose-built skateboard parks. It had two full Pipes, one 20' with 16' flat wall and the other was 16' with a 3/4 pipe leading into a long halfpipe run. It also had two bowls, a huge snake run, a classic clover bowl, and then a large banked freestyle area. Despite being designed for it, it was never actually landscaped, so there were patches of rocky desert fill between the runs that many locals decided to bridge with wood so they could add cool transfers into the mix.
Description: Variflex Skateboards was started by the Losi brothers in 1977 but spent years struggling with an identity crisis as one brother pushed to produce pro-quality boards while the other pushed for mass-market products for sporting goods and toy stores. The mass-market direction seemed to be winning as you could find their boards just about everywhere in the early '80s and to their credit, they were much better than the competition in this space. Sure, they were a little heavier and the graphics were mostly dorky, but not in a cool way, but they were affordable, decent riding boards that ended being many kids' first skateboard.
Description: The first Skate King opened in Bellevue, Washington the day after Thanksgiving in 1974. Skate King Burien opened in 1975 followed by Tacoma in 1976 and Kirkland in 1977. In 1979, Skate King Kent opened and then in in 1980 they opened two centers in eastern Washington - Kennewick and Spokane. Over the years roller skating died off and as such, Skate King began closing locations over the years and before you knew it, the original Bellevue location was the last one standing until it too met it's end in 2015.
