Homage To Venice

The Venice Beach scene in the 1980's was a spectacle to behold. Ramps were placed against the walls of the pavillion and a style of aggressive skating never before seen was born. Huge wallrides, layback grinds on top of the walls, and all done with sick style. Heavy hitters like Christian Hosoi, Block, Scott Oster, Aaron "Fingers" Murray, Tim Jackson, Jef Hartsel, Eric Dressen, Jesse Martinez, Joey Tran and so many more. Today the pavillion has been torn down but the beach has a nice concrete skate park. The influence of the Venice and Dogtown skaters is undeniable and will remain forever.
