Mt. Trashmore: The Iconic 80s Skatepark Built on Garbage

Mt. Trashmore, 1980s: The East Coast’s Most Legendary Skatepark
Before street skating ruled the world, there was Mt. Trashmore — a skatepark built on top of a literal landfill in Virginia Beach, VA. And in the 1980s, it became a mecca for East Coast skaters.

In this video, I take you back to the golden days of Trashmore:
🏔 How a trash dump became a city-backed skatepark
🛹 The iconic vert ramp and asphalt snake runs
🔥 Local legends like Sergie Ventura and the Windsor Woods “fork crew”
🎤 Stories of Tony Hawk, Pharrell, and Mike Vallely
📸 My personal photos, zines, and a rare membership card from 1988

If you skated on the East Coast in the '80s — or just wish you had — this one’s for you.

📺 Full of rare footage, vintage photos, and deep nostalgia.
