Below 13 year old Boogie Bowl Skate Team skater Jeff Sanchez Backside Air 1979. Jeff skated in amature competition and placed 3rd at Whittiers Skate City circa 1980. He also skated with Steve Caballero and Dave Z of the Bones Brigade at a Boogie Bowl demo/contest in which Steve asked Jeff; how do you skate this park? (the park was really tight) Jeff gave Cab a demo and shared with a living skate legend the smooth Boogie Bowl line. Now days you can catch Jeff skating at the Skatelab and Vans skate parks.
