Risk it is a masterpiece. I still have the vhs signed by Danny Way. This is one of the Videos that kept me motivated to go skating when all my friends quit. 30+ years later, while i‘m writing this, i am on my way to skate a vertramp. Dear Tony, thank you very much.

Ah yes…to be 15 again when your bones and joints didn’t hurt.

Man, I loved the decks at this time. Noses got longer, but not popsicles yet. Plus I was 20.

Tom Knox still has a pro model for Santa Cruz in 2023 with a shape & concave that's been evolving since 1990...the answer as to why he still has one is evidenced in this video...he was just as influential an ATV as Gonz was...Eric Dressen too

Era when i discovered skateboarding. Was home to ride & witnessed the first few changes in street skating. Golden era.

First skate video I ever saw. My friend's older sister's boyfriend left it at their house so we took ownership of it.

I was in awe them… as I am now. This was a incredible era,TR. Thank you

Watched this my first year skating in 1990 in Eureka, CA. I finally moved to San Diego and it makes me unbelievably sad that Ill never see Ocean and Markus tearing up a schoolyard.

Oh my Gosh!! Starting it all out with Excel! So damn cool! 48:55 then plays the actual song.

So stoked to see this. This video along with useless wooden toys felt like it was marking a difference when I was a kid. A move away from Powell and H street and towards modernity. When skating street became less concerned with moving through the terrain (all we really wanted to do was cruise the streets like ‘citizens on patrol’)and more in sticking to a spot and trying a bunch of stuff. What I wouldn’t give to have the legs and back of a kid again.

Just in time to get psyched up for spring time

Mark Partain Five Points Ventura, REPRESEEEEENT! I totally forgot he moved off blockhead and onto SC. Love seeing the old familiar haunts, behind vons had one the best wallride banks, the pool at VHS, and the Tennis Courts of course...ninja training grounds

It was good advertising having Todd Congelliere's bear deck and Alan Peterson's Kid with plane deck graphics filmed close up months before they were released, so the skaters who watched this vid were already familiar with them when they were put on sale in early 1991.

Summer of 90 or 91...can't remember which. Watched this every night before bed to get amped for the next for next day's skate sessions.

It's most likely Summer 91 because the video was released late 1990.

Oh fuck yeah! I watched the hell out of this back in the day!

Tom Knox is a powerhouse! ATV ripper!

For god's sakes someone has to make a better vhs rip of this absolute classic. It's my favorite skate video of all time.

so cool

Wow, great video, and what a story. Thanks for showing the extreme integrity to go out and film everyone again otherwise this (sk8 history) footage would have been lost to some fool hearted thief.

Its crazy how dudes would basically film whole parts in like three days

You keep puttin' up the best shit and so I keep watchin it! Over and over. I'm a fully over-grown man. I lived through that era, skating everyday. I skated through a time of great innovation then, and it has continued til now. Please keep doing what you do so everyone with access to this can be as inspired as I still feel decades later. You have to feel the urge to just get up hit stop and go skate watching Tom Knox skate live, like it's the first time seeing him. Or seeing Colby Carter skate anything and everything and look just as unstoppable on all terrain. Well I'm forgetting where else I was going here, so thanks Tony! (we haven't met I just noticed ppl call ya Tony hope that IS your name, thanx again so much.)

That's my favourite shit to watch before going skating, even till this day. The old school boards made the tricks look better and with more style.

Amazing video. I loved the sheer variety, but with glimpses of just how tech street skating was going to get. Still got copy in box somewhere. Vhs, obviously.

Thanks Tony! glad you got your tapes back

Actually this movie the tapes got stolen and I never got them back and had to go (attempt to) re film all the parts. The "Got the tapes back story" was Speed Freaks and I got them back 30 years later

From today's perspective I kinda regret that some things became "illegal" during the 90's, like slappys, or pools...I love all kinds of skating and appreciate all eras, but 1990-91 was the shit, because all the things this video's captions says.

My favorite skate video...

Thank you! Love's last Whisper by The Eclipse. It was from a Cassette demo tape by Ocean's friend's band. They never released anything and this track is one of skateboarding's all time cult soundtrack classics. The only other track of this type in a skate video I had heard before this was in my film Goin' Off for the Natas Part, another highly sought after track by my friend's band "Human Race" another cult classic. I never imagined how those tracks would resonate with skaters.

Done

What is the song at 6:45 ?
