Thank you Randy for posting all this ancient Del Mar footage. I learned how to skate transitions in the square bowl when the locals placed a curb for coping. That is where I first pulled frontside grinds at back in 86. I only actually skated the keyhole at a novice level a hand full of times before Del Mar was closed. Now I'm a 50 year old skater, just feeling lost in HB.

I'm telling ya, Tony Hawk and his friends should make a fund or a petition or something to revive Del Mar. It was a hell of a spot from the looks of it and would sure like to see it restored to its former glory

Nobody ever really invents anything in skateboarding. Its who did what and how fast they got it in a magazine.

He invented the Smith grind, a specific type where as the back trucks grind on the coping, the front trucks hang over the coping ( the front of the board is back in the pool or ramp during the grind).

What we call a Smith grind was almost certainly invented by Alan Losi .
