ESPN Hot Summer Nights

Do you older guys remember the ESPN "Hot Summer Nights" shows back in the 80s? It's a shame they don't do that anymore.

Back in the days when ESPN showed a lot of cool off-beat sports and MTV actually played music.

I remember when ESPN had that show. About the only place to catch any type of skiing back then. Thank god for Fuel TV !!!

And MTV sucks, it is a reality show/drama network now.

Those were the days! I wish they still had it on ESPN as I remember it. Andy Maple was in his prime then. Sure aren't many channels that offer H20 skiing that I know of or can get.

Versus played an episode about Wakestock last week and it featured a segment about the slalom part of the event.
