Description: Béton Hurlant (screaming concrete) was a skate park located on Ile Saint-Germain, in the Issy-les-Moulineaux commune area of Paris, France. Despite only being the country's second park as of its grand opening in 1978, it was considered the best, even years later after several others had come and gone. Despite high public opinion of the park and no shortage of skaters making it their regular spot, when interest in skateboarding waned a bit in the early '80s, the park was demolished as part of a larger redevelopment Ile Saint-Germain.
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: 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.
