A little bit of a downhill flashback today in the form of the August 1981 issue of Thrasher Magazine. The first year for Thrasher was 1981 and the august issue covered the Laguna Seca: Maximum Downhill competition. The cover featured a photo of downhill legends Roger Hickey and Steve Hutson charging the course in Monterey California. You can check out the issue in the archives of the Thrasher site. A quick look through gives a great window into the downhill skateboarding days of the past.

If your Swedish, then you understand the sign above, and they hope to see you there. If you're not, then you probably don't have the 75 Kronor to pay the admission anyhow.
