Old School Sundays with Josh White
For this weeks OSS let’s go back to a time when the contests ran overall categories, so riders would enter flatland and ramp! Here is GT’s Josh White who is course famous for his quarter pipe riding skills, and can hold his own on flatland too. Check his run from the NYC AFA Masters in 1986!

Old School Sundays with Albert Retey
Awesome upload by Thomas Fritscher for this weeks OSS, Albert Retey was and is for sure one of the most talented riders to ever come out of Germany. Hit play for a real treat from one of the legendary Koln Jugendpark contests under the bridge, this contest went down in 1988.
Old School Sundays with Dennis McCoy
With the news the AFA is reborn again, it’s as good excuse as I need to post some AFA footage from back in the day for this weeks OSS. If you haven’t seen this run from Dennis McCoy before at the AFA Kansas Finals 88, the music over the top kind of spoils it. I always like to get the energy from the music and crowd noise, but nevertheless the rolling over and out to macaroni at 00:35 is amazing!
