Boom boxes
Chicks with big hair, and shoulder pads. Add a few wine coolers, hopefully get to third base?

Speaking of Third Base, give 'em da Gas Face.

Most of the things mentioned above...and:

Any time I'm driving around and go by a concrete drainage ditch. Which is just about every day.

But nothing takes me back like the smell of freshly cut plywood -- gets me every time! Instant flashback.

Whenever I hear the beginning of AC/DC's Back in Black, I think of Josh White or somebody dropping in from an AFA quarter pipe.

The Austin City Coliseum AFA Freestyle contests were full of Metal and Rap, with occasional New Wave and Punk.

So many things already mentioned in this thread remind me of the 80's. I just remember a time that it seemed like the fun would never end. For the most part, parents could let you go outside at 9 a.m. and know you would be back at dark and you would just be out having some fun. We used to ride all day long. Ride for miles and listen to what ever was on the radio or a tape someone brought. I even remember guys trying to freestyle in another neighborhood while listening to Falco's "Rock me Amadeus" lol. Looking back on it now, I don't think we knew how good we had it. New cool bikes out every year, songs that rocked out and those pastel colors and acid washed jeans were cool (at the time). 1988 came around and I was in the Air Force.

I used to watch this pretty much every day. After he built the Black skateboard and saved the day I would immediately go out and ride my bike around doing stupid tricks. I was only about 8 or 9 though in the 80's. Here is the bike.
