Eric moved to my local town on Vancouver Island, one of the rowdiest skaters to skate with. Literally a beacon of stoke and energy.

Man this video brought back some great memories. What an amazing collection you have! 🙏 You should write and publish a photo heavy book about the historical significance of your collection. I'd buy it! Nice work bro!

I couldnt contain myself if i had that many boards, i would be riding them all!

So rad. Thank god there are still people out there who evaluate all of this.

Go to skatopia owned by skate legend brewce Martin in Rutland Ohio and check out his skate museum more boards from the beginning to today than you can even imagine. I've skated with brewce quite a few times he comes to my hometown skate park all the time and he's still a rad skater.

that blender art thooo

That is an insane amazing collection! OMG!!! I just saw decks that I forgot I ever even had! I saw like at least 8 of my old decks. I used to hang the broken ones on my wall when I was 13...

That is a crazy collection. My youth just hangs on his wall. Amazing.

I'm such a fan of skateboard collection videos. I've watched this one at least 10-15 times in the past 5 years. Never gets old! Keep the Heat coming! 👊🔥🤘

Hell yeah bro I've skated probably so many of those boards hanging on the wall dude you have a killer collection my friend I skated back in the early 80s and I've kept all my stuff as well man I've got a vision shirt with Eddie radecki Tony Hawk Mike McGill Lance Mountain Tony Alva basically The Duel at Diablo in Arizona I still have all their autographs how's the best days of my life man

No talk on the progression of trucks n wheels. Which have transformed a lot over the years.

You sir are a true legend!!! Thank you for sharing your passion!

sick i was a buyer for a skate shop 87 to 93 and i remember selling shit loads of them boards wow what a collection good post dope memories !!

Love all of this! Something else to me. So glad you have all of this

Too cool! Love that you've ridden most of em. A museum would be great, I'd pay to see it for sure!

I had the blue Caballero. This vid is flooding my mind with nostalgia. I'm 47 and grew up in Louisville, Ky. We used to go to a skate shop on Bardstown road just to look at all the boards we couldn't afford.

Dude this is so sick! I got my first 80's style setup with a powell-peralta reissue deck and got some rails to go with it. Love carving bowls on it.

Wow! Fantastic collection. Thank you for preserving skate history. My first "real" skateboard was the Santa Cruz Bullet model shown at the beginning. Loved that shape. I miss when boards had such a variety of shapes. Keep up the great work, man. God bless.

Wow what a cool collection of boards. I especially like to hear you talk about the history of the older ones. Most excellent !!!

What an awesome collection...and I love what you've done with setting the boards up as the pros had them back in the day!..

great collection! I still have my Jeff Phillips skateboard from the 80's.

Fucking awesome collection man!! Since I was a kid, I have always loved & preferred Powell-Peralta's over all the other SB manufacturers. I bought my first board back in 1986 when I was 13, which was a Lance Mountain Future Primitive II w/Indy's & Powell Wheels, love that board. You have a fantastic collection, wow!!

My man what a collection thank you for putting your video up on here this U2. Brings back so many memories I'm 48 and I was skating in the 80s. I actually got to meet the Bones Brigade here in Arlington Texas at a ramp demo that was awesome I'm at Craig Johnson Bachman Lake the clown ramp Jeff Phillips skating was so influential in my life thank you for sharing your collection man the guns I saw your vision deck thanks man

That’s awesome, brings back my young days!

Thank you for doing this.

LOVE the collection!! You need to turn that apartment into a Museum for skate fans that grew up in the same era as we did!

Awesome collection. Got any Pool Tools from the 80s. I grew up in the badlands during the early 80s with Tay Hunt and the Baldy pipeline and the Pipeline skate park. Great memories.

Love how they are set-up as completes. Personally, I can't have just a deck on the wall, I've gotta make it skateable.

Ravenous pace.... I know the feeling. I went 0 to 100 and now have 15 complete vintage boards . its a passion

I hope you've got some decks from NYC legands. Papo, puppet head, Mousie MouseBerg, ect ect. Believe it or not there were kids in the mid 70's to 80"s who skated. There were homemade ramps all over BK. We skated with the second incarnation of the Zoo York crew. The park in Queens, and plexiglass Park in Staten Island. There was the barn in NJ. Not to mention Cherry Hill. Me and my friend Mike showed up at the Cherry Hill Park when we read in one of the skeet mags that Tony Alva would be skating there. We were surprised to see that we were the only ones from the NYC area to show up. There were a couple of kids from that pipeline Park on Long Island that also showed up. Papo was the smoothest NYC skater ever back in the day, and he could have stood tall with any of the West Coast skaters. It is what it is. I wish people knew how many kids were actually skating vert in Brooklyn. You got an incredible collection. I'm glad it's located in Brooklyn. Makes me feel good. Peace out.

Wow whhaa wheee! Just seen this vid and the memories came flooding back! I see some of the boards I used to skate. Loved my days skating.. Tempted to get into it again at a lesser, slower pace. Had some of the best times skating! ahh.. memories. :) Great Vid!

I say do it. I'm 45 now and still skate from time to time. I just stick to easy tricks like ollies, nollies, curb tricks, and only tricks I still feel confident landing. I say go buy a setup you like and go skate. Do it for the fun of it, and nevermind what people might say or think about you.

I could not care less, I am 45 now too and reckon anyone who has the balls to get out and skate when their a bit older should be respected. :) Keep on, keeping on and having fun! :)

This video is AMAZING!!! ❤❤❤

OBSESSED, couldn't anyone say? Some of those could be priceless!!

I truly am jealous... 80’s style skateboards are my dream 😍, I’ve been skating tha style since 7 years old, and still skate it to this day ., it truly changed the game ..

Way to go dude , I fucking love this and would love to look around it.

Amazing!

Incredible collection !!!!

cool. would love to see his stash of Gators. My favorite deck back in 80s. Mine got stolen out of car in 1989 and was so bummed. Would love to still have that board now. Bought a reissue few years ago but it's not the same....

Yeah, awesome collection man! Great memories from the 80's. Everyone in Cedarburg Wisconsin had a board. My first "real" deck was black JFA with paisley. Then Caballero blood red. I also had the Vision Psycho stick, KASAI, and several naked decks I bought from friends selling bare decks. Wish I could do it again! :)

Nice!!! I had the 84 McGill with Tacker and Bones 3.

What a beautiful collection.🤓

Farmyard deck :) My first 'double kick ' in my youth.. Great to see it again.

So awesome!

Dame,.all those deck is mind blowing,.

Amazing never stop!

Very cool video..... I rode a Jim Muir triplane in the late 70s , Powell Peralta decks were still flat.

My first board was Vision Psycho!!! Saw some visions on your collection!!! 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

such a cool collection wanna visit here!!!!

Awesome collection amazing history and these were the pinnacle of skateboard from when I was 10 and wanted to be a skater till I was 19 and hung up skate boarding for good..I was hoping to see the old H- street "street key" that's the one that got away.

That is one awesome collection! Very well displayed too! I love the old skool decks!

Heavenly collection. Freakin awesome 👌

That is awesome im so glad there are cats like this guy who keep the past alive like that 👍

That collection is so rad

Love to see this guy do some pop up museums or something of that sort. If some came near me I'd definitely go.

Damn! Just saw a few of the decks that I had back in the 80's. Wish I had kept them!

I skated with Ken Fillion in early highschool,,,,was cool to hear his name dropped in you documentary (which is straight up punk rock btw dude). I saved one of my decks that showed the transition from single tail to dual tails,,,,,love this history

The artwork is killer!

Awesome collection!

That is an awesome collection.

Amazing collection

This is just fucking dope. Dude, I share your passion. Thank you for this.

My first skateboard was an old, very old, RC Cola plastic board shaped like that one from the 60s. That is what I learned to ride on. Then it was a Variflex fishtale board. Amazing board. Keep in I received these things in the early 90s, so the double kicktail had already been a thing for a long time. Then my parents bought me my first modern board at 14. It was an Alien Workshop "Believe" complete ordered from CCS. You would not believe how receiving that board after all those weeks in the mail made me feel.

Amazing!!!!!

That Tommy Guerrero white board with the flames was my first board as a kid, i still remember going into the skate shop and picking out my trucks and wheels for it

Pure love!

Those Chris Cook graphics are totally on point!

You better not walk through that hallway while intoxicated haha. Beautiful decor!

Awesome collection

heaven!!! i would love to go to your place one day!!

wow dude I skated on a lot of these boards growing up

I have mixer of old vintage and few reissue decks. And very proud of the skateboard I got from tony hawk.

So sick!

Omg. That’s my childhood bones brigade era. I would definitely go to a museum of this

It’s hard to believe any of this stuff is still around. I would have kept all of my boards from the mid 80s if I’d known. Ugh. I had a Gonz board that he wrote on and signed. He snapped it in half and gave me the front piece. I wish I still had that for sentimental reasons. Anyway, great video. Love to see that stuff.

Stoked on the collection, bummed we didn’t see him ride one or what his personal skateboard setup is

Super nice collection, just a bit after my era.

Excellent

omg he has the first board I ever had, that blue Steve Caballero deck! obviously not the same one I had, but yeah. my step brother gave it to me used and all beat up back in 88ish? been skating ever since.

so amazing

Most excellent Bro.😎💨

BRo that Ron Chatman, i would love to hear more about how you got that. He is my all time favorite skater and i got that board Christmas of 1990 and to this day is still my favorite board i ever owned

Very cool! I saw a Chris Cook on the wall at the end- dig those 80's Alva's. Oh and didn't Felix ride for Shut too?

great video!

Love the collection, I was trying to find some information on the first addition Tom Groholski Jersey Devil model. Like how many were made and how much are they worth today.

Wow, pretty nostalgic

Amazing collection bro 👍

Great job Eric. I've got my original 1989 Tommy Guerrero Powell Peralta still.

Watching right now I'm wondering if you have my all time favorite santa cruz deck... it's a 90s "new school" style that has a cornfield style field growing decks. Would you happen to have that?

That Sheffey board is insane!
