Once upon a time, Capitola hosted a well-known downhill skating contest.  Now, thanks to YouTube user roadrider1973, we can view footage of the 1982 Capitola Classic Skateboard Race. Check out the spandex-clad boarders zooming down Monterey Avenue into Capitola Village in the video above.  In 2012, not only is there no skateboarding competition in Capitola, skateboarding is actually illegal in the Village.  Would you like to see the event come back? What do you think of those outfits? Tell us in the comments!
