My friend Nick Dompierre skated for Real. Great episode as always. Nothing is as bad ass as Gonz kicking the sign like a shaolin monk. The Gonz is king 👑

Props for the 976-EVIL Jim Thiebaud factoid. I watched that a few months ago and was like, “Holy shit, that’s Jim Thiebaud! I didn’t know he had an acting gig.”
Levi was FOR SURE the dude in high school who made every book report about skating. And I love it, so many questions have been answered by these

I met Jim and Natas in New Jersey around 1989 they were with Julian Stranger and Allan Peterson. Jim was Such a cool guy. And I always rode real boards . I just loved the shape of them and the snap they had.
Making a really good job with the data and edition of the video, love it, hope this channel get the recognition it deserves.

I had a REAL board for a lil more than a day. Dipped wood, Spitfires, Indys & Bones Swiss. Hardly a scratch. Left it at bus stop on way to work. TG & JT are true Skateboarders thru & thru. They are REAL. Killer Vid.

My dad used to work for “REAL” making boards back in like ‘99 or ‘00, he used to get me blanks decks or they’re soon to be released boards and I remember they gave my dad like 2 tapes I used to watch
Love your videos bro!! Takes me back to my youth. I remember the brands that disappeared. Keep it up 👍
Great Vid! Asking what Fav Real skater though is definitely a hard one cause they're all Boss status in my opinion. But seriously most underrated skillset wise but are Sooo Good are... Davis Torgerson, Alex Perelson, JT Aultz for sure. Salman Agah was also a pioneer in the switch game! Btw Nice Death Defeated Shirt! 😁👌🏼
I grew up in a rural area that Jim Thiebaud graphic definitely provoked a reaction. Beer cans from passing trucks and threats of varying levels.
Amazing as always
Just discovered this channel, fire 🔥 content

Great video!
Remember : James Kelch, Salman Agah ( 2003 Soty) , Shawn Mandoli, Peter Ramondetta, Frank Gerwer. Sour pro Gustav Tonnesen was seen riding a real board in an adidas video. Next one: WKND Skateboards. Greets from the Netherlands.
Folklore has it that Tommy G took a good amount of the Powell money he had saved and used it for board pressings for Real. Being that skateboarding was somewhat in a slump at that time, I think that move took a lot of guts, ambition, and vision towards the future.

this was really good, no pun intended. I have been a fan of Real since 1991 and there were a couple things on here I wasn't aware of.kinda bummed you did not mention Real Small Wheels. I feel like they helped kickstart the company in a way. keep up the good work.

I think they single handedly created the tiny wheels craze in the 90s with their lil shits wheels. Their slicks with the guys in costumes. (Salman Agah and Simon Woodstock, etc.) had the thickest slick I've ever seen
No Salman Agah?!

Im wondering why Gonz was never in the THPS games. Also I think it was Real to Reel where Gonz has that brick to brick ledge trick. That whole part was jaw dropping to me. Especially at that specific time in skating. Being old now I like to watch his KZread channel because he does all these cool curb tricks I can try and learn. Edit. Drake Jones was so sick too.

When I saw the title of this vid, I figured it was gonna be about the HA thing. I remember that a chapter President came into Above All in OB (SD) to buy some trucks, wheels, etc. He said he wanted a complete to hang on his office wall He then told us about what happened. I guess they rolled into Deluxe and that they were there to take all the boards with the HA logo due to their copyright. They told Real that the issue could be either dragged out in court forever, or they'd take of them by force... The guys at Real made the right (smart) choice, and handed over the decks. So, yeah. the Pres. was setting up one of those boards

I bought my first REAL deck in middle school and it came with the Lost Days and Throwaways DVD. Had me HOOKED! The music selection alone was absolutely fire. I’ll always remember Justin Brock’s section with him skating to Half on a Sack by Three 6 Mafia. Legendary in my mind. REAL is (in my opinion), one of, if not the greatest skateboard companies to ever exist. The fact that the team skates the exact same decks we do is the cherry on top. I have nothing but love for all of those dudes. 🫶🏻
Takes that's REAL to another level lol 😆
