Holeshot

Back in 1987 there was a huge BMX and skate comp in London called Holeshot. Christian Hosoi, Jason Jessee, Mark Gonzales and Lance Mountain came over for it and it was probably the biggest skate event at the time (since the 70s). I was a huge fan of Jessee and The Gonz and wanted to go but wasn't allowed as my Mum and Dad thought i was too young to go without them. Fair enough I guess, I was only 14. To make up for it I saved up some money and ordered the video for the event from the back pages of RAD magazine. Back then it was the old "please give 28 days for delivery". I waited 3 months and wrote letters when it never arrived but it was all in vain, the video never did turn up. Part of me has always wondered what was in that video and luckily for me I got the chance as it was recently posted up on YouTube. Nice to finally see the skating from back then, looks like it would have been amazing to witness in the flesh!
