I watched this video many times on VHS growing up during the 1980s. It got me pumped to go out skating.

The soundtrack is insane!!

Damn. Let's bring back launch ramps! Amazing .

It was 😉 the only thing is you gotta have a crew to roll with and a van or lil pickup for a 4' launch ramp. Kicker ramps are fun, but launch ramps are some dedication. and most places will shut you down as soon as everybody starts enjoying themselves 😢

My first skate video that I saw ..... and with which I fell in love with skateboarding ..... and when I saw Rodney "the mutt"mullen.... I thought: I want to skate like him .... and I started skating every day .... I was 15 years old ... now I am 40 years old ... and I continue to skate .... that time was great .. .we were true skaters at heart

I’m 41 so same age. Bones Brigade video show was my first video. My uncle had this. Skate or die! My youngest is ripping now and I’m still out here shredding!

80s skateboarding was like lightning in a bottle. Amazing aesthetics. Hosoi and cab were so smooth and stylish.

I have been looking for this movie for ever 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

Ah man! I forgot about this video! Sweet!

Those guys who rode for Banana Boards back in the day. Those were the real guys!

Those 80s half pipes always looked so perfect and beautifully crafted on video. I skated a few Half pipes and Qtrs in my day and they were sketch @best, screws stickin out and shit

I watched this video just about everyday growing up. Still makes me want to go skate.

Love the quote about skateboarding not being in the Olympics. Wow, how far skateboarding has come!

Watching any footage of late 70s early 80s skating from US as a kid in UK we were always so envious of the smoothness of the roads and pavements ( sidewalks )

East coast skating could be pretty gnarly, that aggregate concrete with rocks in the cement, and just gravel everywhere. There were some smooth spots, but a lot of the streets were harsh in the 80's where I grew up -Pennsylvania. LA schoolyards though! Super slick. We were jealous too.

I remember getting this for either a xmas or birthdaybakc around 1990. My first ever skate vid!!

I loved seeing rob in the credit also ☺️

This was life was at its best.

Haha! I had 2 copies on VHS. I should have them sign the unopened copy. I still get to skate with some of these guys from time to time. This was one I watched to pump me up living in rural midwest at the time.

Nothing like vintage boarding

I have this on VHS. Haven't watched it in over 30 years because I don't have a VCR. Alas, KZread to the rescue! Thanks for posting. Brought back lots of great memories.

The launch ramp era

Rodney Mullen at 5 minutes. He's not mentioned as staring in the video. It also showed Mike McGill right before it. I think Rodney invented the kick flip and Ollie in the 80s. I have this VHS I bought at a Wal-Mart around 1987. I watched it so much I know the words to the cheap music.

Had this video growing up.

35 years later and I still fast forward through the freestyle parts. Lol

@@chrisbrown387 Ha. Yeah, that's about it. A 30 year old trick that no one can seem to get over. Most unoriginal skate trick ever. Todays skaters do NOTHING original. Its all just early 90s on repeat. Doing tiny circles around each other. Its sad what it became. It lost its essence. The whole gig is just a cliché now. Jaime Matau does ok tho. Not many others get it. Eric Winkowski, Andy Anderson. Thats about it. A couple of others. Pretty sad. There is no Gonz today. No Jeff Phillips. Gonz STILL skates better than most today, and hes in his 50s.
