But then I see @elliotsloan do a gigantic ollie 540 on his new backyard playground and all my theories fall apart. Check out his entire sprawling ramp setup - and gravity-defying ollies - on his YouTube channel. : @tweestopher | Tony Hawk | Facebook

The ramp design was unique - even for minis at the time, but we made the most of it… and tried plenty of vert tricks. Thanks to @majordredd for shooting / digitizing this and for being such an invaluable skate historian over the decades. The original clip didn’t have sound so I used music from Public Domain since it was made the same year. | Tony Hawk | Facebook
