Peter Smolik was so ahead of the times , was crazy for that era

100%. He never really got his due respect for that. Ahead of the curb at least 10 years.

When The Storm dropped, everybody I knew in the Midwest wanted to skate like those dudes. Smolik was a legend to everyone.

I feel like there was also a hint of jealousy from the rest of the industry towards just how big Osiris was at the time.

That’s the vibe I’m kinda picking up here.

I think so. Osiris seemed to go against what was the cool thing at the time. That for sure made other companies jealous of it.

People forget Osiris was one of the only companies dropping shoes for 40-45 bucks at the time.

Chris Dobstaff was 10 years ahead of his time.

Yes! Most underrated dude

Im wearing a pair of D3 OG rite now... been skating 38 years. Love the big shoes.

Osíris first Jerry Hsu pro shoe was my favourite show até the time...

For us in so cal (inland empire) at that time in high school, Osiris literally changed the way skaters dressed almost overnight. All of the sudden all I saw was Osiris. I know maybe in the industry DC might have still been larger, but in the trenches of all the skaters at school, it was almost all Osiris. I’d say DVS was second. So it’s actually kind of mind blowing for me to hear the insider side of things, because for us local skaters, Osiris was the top of the top. And the Storm was up there too with Fulfill the Dream and Welcome to hell in rotation for pre-skate inspiration. But then that all changed when the piss drunx Baker thing started. Then it was like the opposite vibe

Now seeing Nike convers and new balance dominate the skateshoe industry which I would have never imagined back in the day . The times they are a changing .

This was a very good interview. I still remember watching The Storm on VHS in my basement with my friends. Central Missouri. glad to see Chad Knight is doing well

One of the few videos I was able to find locally and I loved great skating and great music

Good interview

The Storm was the first VHS that i got. I watched it a million times.

I skated his shoes in 8th grade, year 2000. Great shoes, good lace covers 👍👍 Come to find out later, everyone talked smack on my shoes behind my back because of the Osiris brand image lol

The industry looked down on Osiris because they had transcended beyond skateboarding and had non-skaters wearing their gear (aka getting more money)

Mackin on cheese cause all i see is cheese macks!!!

I was a kid when the Osiris storm video came out and we freaking loved it!!!! Washington st Loves that video! I rememeber youi guys did a demo here in my home town.. es and girl was the jock skaters that we didnt fuck with that! to be honest

Osiris changed the shoe game

Osiris alphas were one of my fave shoes ever

The Storm was the first skate film i ever purchased on DVD.

Were you on that tour stop in Dallas when the team skated that secret rooftop in Downtown Dallas? I remember Coyne and Dobstaff throwing down some hammers there. I was hurt but my brother skated with you guys and I think he's the one that got Coyne to think about that huge Fronstside flip down that huge 1 block.

Chris kickflipped a massive gap over the wires on the roof.

Shorty's Osiris is legendary

I watched the storm every day after school to get pumped to skate

Funny thing about the first D3's looking indestructible, there was a later model called the D3 NTX that looked like it would fall apart after 5 ollies 😂

Man I loved Osiris when I was young. I was only 10 years old in 2000 but of course then went through like a DC phase. But nothing could ever compare to the Kenny Anderson Adio’s back in the day.

An SD thing like it’s a bad thing San Diego will always be a skateboarder friendly town and can’t tell the story of skateboardings progress without the other southern Cali giant history is history bleSD day fam Real recognize real no matter where you’re from

The Osiris Storm mixtape was fuckin awesome. Had a remix of Eminem - Just Don’t Give A Fuck years before he popped on MTV

I don't remember the mixtape having an Eminem remix on it (you can actually still listen to the mixtape online). But I remember first hearing Just Don't Give a Fuck in 411 30. It was from the Slim Shady EP before the LP version that most are familiar with.
