The Good Ol' days! 80's Arcades and Fashion

[F34R]

Now we have games that don't suck and the internet where we can game around the world.
Oh, and women now wear low cut tops and shorts so short they let out the bottom of the ass out =)

But my brother is into BMX and all these new guys that are out there doing shit that is NUTS. I remember in the 90s when I was riding barspins and tailwhips were being done on the ground lol. Now they throw backflips with double tailwhips!

But there IS something HOT about the 80s hair. Just some of the old women outfits on girls back then are boner killers.

Fuckin hipsters.


On the real though, daycare for me consisted of 20 bucks worth of quarters and my mom dropping me off at the mall arcade from 8-5.

Wow, I didn't grow up in the states but where I come from was very americanized, BMXs, skateboards, theatres and arcades were the shit.
I came to the states in late 86, graved a pair of JIMMY'Z shorts and a Maui t-shirt and I was hooked, I ran with a bunch of buddies from Santa Monica/Venice but was never a great skater. I still have an original NATAS deck with trucks and Independent trucks and OJ wheels........hahaha

The arcades, were the best place to pick up on skanks too. :pimp:

Thank you for sharing Archie, what a blast.

Forgot about Jimmy'z. We also wore Jams Shorts and Shirts. They were always very bright with crazy patterns:D

I can still almost smell the old dungy dark Arcade back in Ann Arbor, MI.

All you could smell was the electronics burning and you could see by the CRT's in the machines. Carpet was black and nasty.

I spent way too many hours in there rocking my knee high socks and fucking 3/4 length ET shirt on lol

Oh shit, I might just make it out there Archie. I only live 2 miles eadt of Culver City, which is conviniently close to Marina del Rey as well. ;)

What time will you be there? I think my kids might want to hang with me and enjoy some fish tacos & 80s jams.

This is my favorite thread in ages (excluding the primo skin threads).

Jimmyz, Jams... so many memories are coming back I'm feeling like some dude who came out a coma and the synapses are firing again. I suppose there's some irony there, as the '80s was when maximum brain cell depletion occurred.

Seriously goddamn good thread for this old dude.
