We were so lucky, what a time to be young and a skater. 🤠

After watching Barbee's opening sequence, I went and bought his board. Still have it after all these years. Everything on it is original. Skating was my life for so many years. Not a sport. A lifestyle. It was all I cared about.

50 years old, still skating, same storie. We are being blessed. Truck on skater!

Grew up watching this scene over and over on VHS.. wore the tape out.. trying to learn the impossible and copy the tricks. 46yrs old now and this just makes me feel fuzzy all over watching it again. The music, the skaters.. everything about this time as a kid and skating every day I could. What a great time to be a kid and into skating.

Same after watching the Bones Brigade autobiography, I had the same feeling and the chills hearing him talk about his experinces.

I remember learning Ray barbee's entire line from 7:00 when i was younger, i was obsessed with that part, had it perfect too :)

High Ollie zone! That's it I'm dusting off my boards at 45yrs!

Ray barbee was soooooo ahead of his time crazy

This video has: The world's introduction to Ray Barbee, Frankie Hill, Danny Way, and Mike V. The first time seeing people do handrail slides on video. Rodney doing a triple kickflip and probably the first flat ground tre flip on video? Insane how great this video was.

I’d say Ban This is better, although this one is a lot of fun and was the first “new” Powell video I saw as a kid in 1988. Ray Barbee completely destroys the other three Rubber Boys. It’s crazy how much better he was than them. Then the LA Boys blow that out of the water the following year.

Watched this a thousand times when I was a kid.

This was the one for my crew as a kid, each of us knew the skating, script and music off by heart. I’m still skating (Powell Peralta) many years later, just slower ;p Thanks for the official upload

I always idolized Jay Adams and Tony Alva growing up, but the more I learn and mature, the more I grow to respect Stacey. I was always that kid trying to be cool and idolizing the wrong people. And look where being cool got all of us trouble makers... Stacey and this team is truly one of the greatest things ever to happen to skateboarding. God bless Stacey.

Compare what became of Alva Posse with where the alumni of Bones Brigade are today and you realize that what Stacy Peralta and Bones Brigade demonstrated is that it's not that nice guys finish last, it's that the good guys .. _last_

This video was my childhood, my teenage years and my life now. Everyday I would watch it and then go skate. It's so iconic from start to finish.

Used to watch this almost everyday. I went to a local Smiths grocery store whose video store was going out of business and got this along with wheels on fire, ban this and streets on fire all for $2 each...

Kind of funny that something titled Public Domain took so long to land on KZread. Not complaining though. Just glad to have it here.

I have been skating since 1983 and just want to say that Ray Barbie is my favourite underrated skater. When this movie came out all I did was learn every single trick he made and his no comply's are to this day part of my trickbook. That style, that smoothness.. just absolutely stunning

Didn't have parks back then in our town.This was the first time seeing Frankie Hill. Inspiration to our street skating.Thanks

I loooooooooooove Powell peralta vidéos especially Public Domain. I didn't really experience that period, but I still had a skateboard with only one tail. it was towards the end. I loved skateboarding but I spent more time on the ground or sitting on the skateboard than standing. Then it came slowly. I wish I was 12 and discovering all those amazing videos! Thank you Stacy and Bones Brigade team !!!!!!!

Literally one of the best skate films ever. Genius work of editing, the music is great, the skateboarding is great too and it keeps your interest all the way through.

OMG I remember loving this video so much me and m8's would watch and watch trying to learn the tricks. The sound track bring it all back!

I bought this and future primitive on vhs in the early 2000's... I loved it then and absolutely love it now. The original spirit of skateboarding seeps through every second of these films. Thank you for uploading this!!

Thank you guys so much for uploading these. This is an era I missed out on personally but have always been super interested in as an '80s pop culture fanatic. I have watched a bunch of old school skate videos the past few years, but never got a hold of most of these until now. You've convinced me to get back on the board after about 15 years. I just purchased an old school deck, green Slime Balls, cyan rails, and purple trucks. Let's hopefully not break bones!

thx stacy,bringing good memories back,those movies inspired me to go sk8,back in the days when i was 15,now 45 and a few years on regular base back on the board,still skating my Danny Way from the 90 's belgian greetings!

huge thank to you, masterpiece of my child time, i love this movie more than any other skateboard movie. What a gift.

HAHA I STILL HAVE THIS ON VHS!!!!!!! I remember buying this out of the skate shop when it came out... I think i was 16 years old in Daytona beach... brings me back :D

after so many years, i finally found first track at Rodney Mullen part Dvorák - Serenade for Strings in E Major, Op. 22, B. 52: II. Tempo di valse

The best Powell vid bar none, even though I love individual sections in the others... like Guy/Rudy/Paulo/Gabriel and Pat Brennan. This one had everything

Skate movie classic of our/my time.. over 20 skater teen gang in the suburbs of London city, PD Everytime!! The Bones Brigades lockdown of Romford skatepark (where i now live) was legendary!!!

By far my favourite Powell Peralta video, I remember watching this with my brother and all the kids who skated in the neighbourhood. We'd watch this and then go skate the streets and school parking lots. Man best time of my life. Oh and the music Mcrad - Weakness made the that opening scene.

Ray Barbee....so fluid and dope.

The best skate video of all time. The reason I started skating in the 80's

A Real Masterpiece!

I was 14 after we watch this we was so hyped to go skate . The music the style was a great growing up to this!!!! Animal Chin will always be the best thou

I grew up trying to skate and was never exposed to Powell Peralta vids. This is an awesome retrospective look at the sport/art of skateboarding and, as expected, the soundtrack is fantastic. Thanks for sharing! Skateboard Or Die Bored!

I remember when the Bones Brigade came to Sydney, Australia and premiered Public Domain at Burwood. Watching the Bones Brigade with the Bones Brigade was insane! We couldn't believe what Ray Barbie was doing. Unfortunately Lance wasn't with them but I'll never forget that day. Still searching for him, if you know what I mean.

The best skateboard videos ever made. This is a masterpiece pushed to the limits of creativity.

Awesome! This video was my inspiration each morning in North Dakota as an early teenager and again now as a 46 year old returning to skating after a 30 year gap.

YESSS!! This sure takes me back. Me and my boys used to get pumped to skate by watching these movies by PP! Who remembers the Legend of Chan? I dont know if that is what its called but had the old crew of Hawk, Guerrero, Caballero, McGill and Lance Mountain brought the humor...Awww memories!

I used to hire this every weekend pretty much from the video store as a kid. So nostalgic for me.

This is my favorite old skate flick. Used to rent it at an old video store in Vegas that had a yellow submarine built as one of the rooms for videos, and the skate vids were in the submarine room. The adult section had swinging saloon doors so I couldn't sneak in LOL.

Awesome Thanks for posting!

Amazing, timeless, skateboarding is California and Southern California’s legacy and loving gift to the world and our amazing state.. enjoy

Totally loved this as a kid and still do, wish I could still skate as well as I use to lol, Snowboarding has compensated right enough

Arrived in the post in 88, took it in to high school and hijacked the giant tv/vhs combo, called all the skaters and watched and watched and watched. Paused rewind watched and watched again. This was a regular every weekend prior to heading out to skate.

Best days of my life 🤘

I remember when this came out...it opened up a whole new set of trick possibilities. This got me into street pop tricks and New Deals 1281 video for late tricks. The "rubber boys" part is the best lol, that song is awesome.

When I watch old vids from my childhood I can smell the pad stench. Skateboarding, my true love

El primer video skate que vi. Alucine.

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen.

Skateboarding was the best thing ever, skated through the 80's. To old to skate now I found Yoyo-ing to be my next outlet. Doing tricks is my life.

this was Mike Vallely showing the next level starting

What an inspiration this was to see when it came out. Skate or die.
