We used to go to the Skate Ranch quite a bit in the early to mid-eighties. You never knew who you'd see, but there was always a good chance you'd spot guys like Hawk, Owen Neider, Steve Steadham, Caballero, and Lester Kasai (featured here, shot by J.Grant Brittain). For you skate heads into the era, delmarskateranch.com is a fun look back at this venerable park. The site's been up for a while and hasn't been updated recently, but it has a great selection of photos and some very classic video footage as well. It's also kind of fun to geek out on the classic board graphics of the era. I wish I would have kept all of my old decks.

Sweet site. It was such a bummer when all the parks started closing cuz of insurance probs. I'm glad they've made a comeback
Yeah, as youngsters we would have killed to have the parks that are around these days.
