We used to watch this at like 12:00 midnight and then go skate from like 1 to 4 a.m. just to come back home whip up a huge picture of Tang LOL then head back out. The New Jersey speed lines rocked.

I'm 12 and it has been just a year since I started skating, when I'm at the skatepark I usually hear people talk about a lot of skaters but it's kinda sad that when I ask them what they think about this Older skaters and videos they don't even know what I'm talking about, and I'm glad I can watch this videos for free on TH-cam.
I remember this as if it were yesterday. I was 17 years of age when this came out and all we did everyday all day is skate, skate and skate. It was our religion, obsession and way of life for many, many years to come. Mike Carroll has always been - next to Rudy Johnson, Jason Lee and Brian Lotti - my favorite skateboarders. Then in 1993 we did a roadtrip through the USA and skated all our fav spots (Carlsbad, Freedom Plaza, EMB..) with guys like Chris Hall, Andi Stone, Jo Turner, Frankie Hill, Chris Pastras and Ocean Howell. I will never forget this. Skateboarding has been one of the greates experiences in my life. Now i am 38, married and got a son. I still skate as much as i can, eventho on a pretty embarrassing level compared to the young cats. In my heart i will always remain a skateboarder and will continue doing it until my body can't take it anymore. Peace!
same here! im 34 and i had been skating for a year when this came out. couldnt believe it. me and my entire 3 man(15year olds) posse couldnt get over that kickflip up onto the waist high ledge. i think our tape broke at that part. i try to skate a few times a week now but yeah its kinda sad compared to when i was 18. if i ollie 5 stairs now i cant move the next day but we used to do tricks down bigger sets running from security and the odd cop. its the fun that matters...the joy is the same
I'm 34 and started skating in 97 when I turned 14. I was sponsored by my local skateshop in my early 20s and I continued to skate regularly-few times every week, up until I was 28. At 28, my body still felt like I was 18 pretty much. Then I got a welding job and started working 7 days a week for a while and there was hardly any actual peers to skate with in my area at this time so I practically stopped skating. I went from skating a few times a week to a few times a year. I think I skated twice all of 2014. I'm finally getting back into skating more again because I miss it but my body isn't the same. People usually blame this on age but if you think about it, 34 isn't that much older than 28. I honestly think it has more to do with whether you stay physically active than it does your age. If I hadn't went a few years where I hardly ever skated, my body would still be just as use to it as I was when I was in my 20s. I mean there are plenty of pros in their late 30s, early 40s that are still killing it to this day-Mike Carroll included! I'm just saying to let you know not to get bummed out on your age if you are. Because of your age and life that comes with this age, you probably don't skate as often as when you were younger for whatever various reasons but the lack of skating is why your body isn't the same, not your age. So don't get down and feel old about it. Because you're not old by any means.
strobo lazer couldn’t have said it better ! I’m glad I found skating in 1989 and grew up inspired by all those pros! Including Carroll. Now at 42 I still have it in my heart and roll when the chance comes by! Less frequent but most importantly it NEVER leaves us! Memories and the inner skater Bless!
Exactly! The progression happened so quickly, too. When we saw that crooks, ns, crooks we lost our shit. 'What the fuck was that!' So happy to have grown up witnessing skate history like that.
Shows how ahead of his time he was. Crook ns crook wasnt really on our radar in 99 when i was a youngstar despite carroll already putting it on film 7 years prior
I just watched Tim and Henry’s pack of lies then this and there is a noticeable talent gap. I loved Henry’s part and to find out this Carroll part came out the same year is trippy
I agree. Born in 78. I actually bought this video while Hensley was working (at sessions). Found out after the fact that Hensley had rung me up for a video he’d been in and went back and pestered him with questions about doing full cabs over picnic tables
Game changer Plan B in 92. When i watch this Video again i realize that i somehow still skate like it´s 92. That´s ok, because first of all it was the best time of my life and second i´m over 40 now and so thankful that i´m still able to do it.
Same age and experience with me damn never thought someone had the same thing I wanted to say.I'm also just like hearing those song yesterday oh mannn damn miss skating so much
Legitimately one of the important parts of all time. So technical and precise. Carroll flows with finesse with this part. Carroll's part is one of those parts that gradually advanced street skating in the early 90's and brought to a new level never seen before. A true pioneer doing his thing. More Carroll!
I went to EMB when I was 14 and some guy took my hat and this older guy made him give it back to me. I was too intimidated to skate that day but I came back a year later and I skated EMB then. I would take BART from Concord with my friends every weekend.
skating in the 90's was something special man. it was breakout new shit and urban as fuck. all the illest kids were down with that shit. these days... well it's mainstream and all which is ok, but it's all built on the backbone of that OG street culture.
You can't beat the classics. It's important to look and see how far Skateboarding has come since then and it makes you really appreciate all the hard work and just awesome creativity and energy that was put into the Skateboarding world!

Reminds me of that one boardslide Julien Stranger does in A Reason For Living, like seriously almost running right into that woman. And it was so obviously on purpose, though, like so messed up, actually. Carroll's manual was timed just right, but Stranger's was timed just wrong. Maybe she was giving him shit or something. It's messed up, but also the most snotty-ass punk skater thing I think I've ever seen, so I have to dig it on that level. Whoa, that part is Mike Carroll's pick for Thrasher Classics, too! Stranger influence on that manny, for sure.
Incredible style and so far ahead of his time... One of my favorite skaters. There's a local skater from where I'm from call Paul Hintz... check them out he's very Mike Carroll ish
fav part- manual to kickflip around the guy with the suit and briefcase. Watching this now, didn't even realize he did switch big heel, and inward heel flips over garbage cans in 92, this part was fire
Fuck off! How is it possible to dislike this?! Seriously, it's not about "style", "tricks" or "Nyjah's life", it's about skateboarding. We all should understand this. Anyway, I'll always love skateboarding's history even in 20 years!
Después de Carroll ya nada volvió a ser igual... Recuerdo que al terminar de ver esta parte todos salimos como locos con las tablas para sacar esos trucos. Fue una vuelta de hoja el Questionable, especialmente MC en el EMB (que en paz descanse este spot histórico) así que esta parte es como la definición resumida de un cambio y una generación entera de skaters. Saludos de un old school chilango.
Little wheels. I remember buying some 39mm wheels in the 90s. 50mm wheels were for vert skaters. I wish I could get a 1992 setup to ride around: 8.5" wide slick board with 39mm wheels
best wheels in 92 were the santa cruz 38mm bullet specials.looked dope,skated dope,then flat spotted in a week. enjoi have recently made a few slick decks again size 8 to 8.5. just got to find a slightly rounded off block/ledge to do noseslide to nosegrinds on. overwaxing is a fxcking must.
The control dude had was inspiring for sure.. To go from lipslide to 5.0 grind out is something that feels good & most of us who are in 40's now still do this. Probably cause curb skating & manny pad is my usually session. The sketch don't bother me even a lil bit because if you can't see the control then that's on you.
Except for all the other pros. Maybe not the exact same tricks but pretty much the same level shit. Daewon Song, Sanchez, several others. With that said, this video part is a little before my time. (I started skating in 97) but I can see how this would've been ground breaking for early 90s street skating. It's still a sick video part to this day if you ask me.
I missed 92. I had to quit skateboarding. I got stuck in the middle of the Pacific on a shitty island with bad or no concrete anywhere lol. There was an abandoned school nearby my place so I could at least roll around. I'm proud to have lived that era. Kids these days are good "technically" but they do the same tricks on repeat or is it just me? No progression. Yeah maybe a kid or 2 doing unconventional stuffs here and there but... That makes me wanna skate again and bring that creativity mindset we've had in those days and diffuse it to them. Turning 46.
@@lenk1975 truth!! @ the time this came out i was still tripping on Shackle, Hokus Pokus, Frankie Hill & my fave- SICK BOYS! i just watched that stuff over & over & i guess stopped getting newer vids. missed all the Blind, Plan B, New Deal vids & Love Child, etc... until a bit later & i was FUCKING SHOCKED at what was going on. i couldn't really wrap my brain around wtf was happening with all the tech & switch stuff. i was from a small town & alot of my close friends didn't realy progress as quickly as i had been, so i think my passion unfortunately just slowly fizzled out as i neared graduation, and also realized i wasn't even close to keeping up. in hindsight i wish i would've just kept riding, but life just happens. every now & then i ride but my body can't handle 1/10 of the abuse i put it through in my youth. sk8ing is still in my heart though cuz it changed my life so many times. love 4 Mike Carroll & this insane part!
This is truly a classic part. And I must say that "Ports" and "Shants" didn't look as bad on Carroll as I'm sure they did on the rest of us. Anyway, the Nine Club brought me here for a trip down memory lane.
What?! I just realized, after seeing this part literally hundreds of times, that he actually landed that noseslide heelflip/toeflip or whatever out thing again at the end. I love the one where he lands sketchy and focuses his board. But I thought that was the only one he did, and I always wanted to see another cleaner one. How did I miss it?! It's not some Mandela Effect thing; I've definitely seen it. I remember seeing it a million times. I just never snapped it was the same friggin' trick. What a weird brainfart.
i grew up watching photosynthesis modus operandi menikmati the end EST fulfill the dream and this video was a decade before my time and when inwatched this for the first time in 2000 i knew this was fuckin special
I went to SF on pilgrimage in jan 95 and no one used wax - at the wallenberg 2nd step ledge people would just start in the AM using their deck paint and by noon it was sliiick. I went south five hours to SLO and had to readjust to curb wax and also drivers who wouldn't stop for anyone haha
Younger kids won't know how important this part was. Not being a dick, but unless you grew up back then, you can't seriously appreciate it like we all did. Before this, man, I can't even explain. LOL The ONE part that really shifted street skating into overdrive.
I remember when i went to San Franciso and went to EMB and saw how low the curbs were, i felt like a had been scamed, we were doing these same tricks in Chicago on ledges 3x the height, the "high ledge" at EMB was a normal ledge hight and he only did one trick on it. This wasnt the best skating at the time, it was just where the magazines were filming, we were poor and didnt have all that stuff and honestly didnt know ourselves how low all this stuff was in the videos. The green benches at union square, i remember when i saw those and how low they were, i felt so scamed.
I met two dudes from Chicago whn i traveled there and they sounded exactly like you haha. Even wallenberg had a bigger midwest counterpart according to them. cool guys though
I always thought Carroll looked like Ad Rock from the Beastie Boys (and that dude from that show Northern Exposure), so it’s kinda cool for me he used their music in this.
I fucking love the Classics. Skaters could actually skate and they were real not those posters skating for company not for the love of it, well everyone has their reasons
Younger skaters don’t realize that when this part first came out, we hadn’t seen most of these tricks before. And that Carroll style.
some tricks he did you rarely or never see now
We used to watch this at like 12:00 midnight and then go skate from like 1 to 4 a.m. just to come back home whip up a huge picture of Tang LOL then head back out. The New Jersey speed lines rocked.

Carroll invented most of the switch heel tricks
Yeah, and todays kids have only Carroll's reissued shoes and they throw up from it.

Way to go Pal ! you can go wrong with Questionable. Absolutely classic !! I first saw it at 12 in 1992 :P. still my favorite to this day
Jamie Thomas Toy machine and zero are must watch too
Three songs dope asf

Bless!
I was a kid growing up in Cape Town, South Africa and this footage influenced my life so much, still does.
This part is like fine wine, only gets better with time. As it set the bar even to this day!
This part is THE turning point in street progression. Everything changed after this. Completely blew our minds when it came out.
Definitely, switch bigspins, switch big heels; a mountain of ledge tricks, dope rail tricks. Tjis video really had everythng.
Exactly! The progression happened so quickly, too. When we saw that crooks, ns, crooks we lost our shit. 'What the fuck was that!' So happy to have grown up witnessing skate history like that.

respect man. im only 23 and my knees hurt like shit everytime i skate
I don't have the same Firepower like back in the Days but besides that i'm a man with Luck. Still no pain.
Fp insoles mate they'll save ya knees they work on my 3 rd pair now
1992 till infinity!!!!

I watched that a billion tines.... this makes it a billion and one. and I,m going to watch it again thanx Mike.
That kickflip onto the ledge with the kickflip late shuv near the end was dope
Best set in history! May the best skateboarding video in history!
6:27 that kickflip late shuv was unreal
I know!!!
I was about to say same javonte was sick aswell
Yeah, and how about that late re shuv @ 1:30?
QUICK FEET
One of my most watched parts ever. Sickness :)
there is something to the vhs 90s astethics that just fits skateboarding so well
THIS back in the day hypnotized me and my homies to skate hard...OL Good DAYz
its crazy to see how his style has developed over the years
Watching in 2020! Still one of my favorite parts.
man, remember that like it was yesterday. and ill nvr forget sleeping on the stage at EMB for 2 weeks.... good times! : )
Fat pants and small wheels. The dark ages of skateboarding. Soo much love for this shit tho. Carroll killed it back then too.
Golden age*
Such a great skater. Mike was one of my instructors at Woodward way back in the day. Such an awesome time meeting one of the best skaters.
love this part - tech to the max.
Wish I was born bit earlier, to see all of those amazing video parts and see how the skating changed over the years.
skating in the 90's was something special man. it was breakout new shit and urban as fuck. all the illest kids were down with that shit. these days... well it's mainstream and all which is ok, but it's all built on the backbone of that OG street culture.

The perfect cherry on top for me is that he uses THREE different Beastie Boys tracks.
2 Beastie Boys tracks and 1 Heiroglyphics track
No, 3 Beastie Boys tracks and 1 Hieroglyphics track:

2. Time For Livin
3. Stand Together

I was a skater in the early 1990s, mike carroll was my favorite!
surprised youtube let the song for this one
This intro and song still reminds of this section
This just gets better with time.....
when I finally made it to SF, EMB was gone :(
Fatpants and bearing covers... fuck I remember those days.
MC and EMB 4ever!
and cutting your high-tops to make them low-tops.
In '92 I was at EMB every day all summer
one the sickest parts from one of the most important videos of all time. this changed everything.
thank you Thrasher Magazine to upload all these Classics videos!
5:02 represents skateboarding as a whole for me. hahaha so perfect.
Reminds me of that one boardslide Julien Stranger does in A Reason For Living, like seriously almost running right into that woman. And it was so obviously on purpose, though, like so messed up, actually. Carroll's manual was timed just right, but Stranger's was timed just wrong. Maybe she was giving him shit or something.

Carroll, EMB and the B Boys = the holy trinity
Incredible style and so far ahead of his time... One of my favorite skaters. There's a local skater from where I'm from call Paul Hintz... check them out he's very Mike Carroll ish
Mike Carroll riding a blind board. Sick as fuck! Long live prime!
what're U scrolling down for? the good stuff is up there. nothing but bitterness down here.
fav part- manual to kickflip around the guy with the suit and briefcase. Watching this now, didn't even realize he did switch big heel, and inward heel flips over garbage cans in 92, this part was fire
i can't get into old videos too much...........damn you new videos for spoiling me!
I advse you to watch some classic Penny footage. Menikmati is a sort of compilation of his destruction during the mid 90s.
I've never seen someone skate with such ease.
Fuck off! How is it possible to dislike this?! Seriously, it's not about "style", "tricks" or "Nyjah's life", it's about skateboarding. We all should understand this. Anyway, I'll always love skateboarding's history even in 20 years!
This part makes me appreciate how far skateboarding has came in the last 20 years.
This is from 92.
Philly! That broken glass art is everywhere
So much style with those frontside flips. I just want to watch a 3 min part of Mike Carroll only doing frontside flips!

Probably cause curb skating & manny pad is my usually session.
The sketch don't bother me even a lil bit because if you can't see the control then that's on you.
I remember this being the first part where I saw noseslide nollie heel out or the nose manny flips out
Mike skating vert was awesome to see
Lol all the baggy clothes and old school hip hop, I freakin love this, oh the nostalgia
You guys need to realize that almost no one was doing this type of shit in 92
Except for all the other pros. Maybe not the exact same tricks but pretty much the same level shit. Daewon Song, Sanchez, several others. With that said, this video part is a little before my time.

@@TheRickyp83 trick progression from 90 till 92 was seriously on another level tho. It shaped modern skating.

@@lenk1975 truth!!
@ the time this came out i was still tripping on Shackle, Hokus Pokus, Frankie Hill
& my fave- SICK BOYS! i just watched that stuff over & over & i guess stopped getting newer vids.
missed all the Blind, Plan B, New Deal vids & Love Child, etc...
until a bit later & i was FUCKING SHOCKED at what was going on. i couldn't really wrap my brain around wtf was happening with all the tech & switch stuff. i was from a small town & alot of my close friends didn't realy progress as quickly as i had been, so i think my passion unfortunately just slowly fizzled out as i neared graduation, and also realized i wasn't even close to keeping up.
in hindsight i wish i would've just kept riding, but life just happens. every now & then i ride but my body can't handle 1/10 of the abuse i put it through in my youth. sk8ing is still in my heart though cuz it changed my life so many times.
love 4 Mike Carroll & this insane part!
Mike Carroll late 90's. best skateboarding ever
This is truly a classic part. And I must say that "Ports" and "Shants" didn't look as bad on Carroll as I'm sure they did on the rest of us. Anyway, the Nine Club brought me here for a trip down memory lane.
Most of the tricks are still relevant to this day

The switch fs big spin heel down the 3 is beautiful.
i grew up watching photosynthesis modus operandi menikmati the end EST fulfill the dream and this video was a decade before my time and when inwatched this for the first time in 2000 i knew this was fuckin special
I miss that generation
Everything about this one
2:41 best big heal ever done
Good thing it was switch lolll
I like the one at the end better
Imagine being this good at only 16
Every one wanted to be him after this came out lol.
His FS flips are a goddamn national treasure
That wheel squeak at 1.54 ..no wax just hit that block hard
I went to SF on pilgrimage in jan 95 and no one used wax - at the wallenberg 2nd step ledge people would just start in the AM using their deck paint and by noon it was sliiick. I went south five hours to SLO and had to readjust to curb wax and also drivers who wouldn't stop for anyone haha
Sick part, back then when fatpants and varial flips were cool
Pressureflips
Younger kids won't know how important this part was. Not being a dick, but unless you grew up back then, you can't seriously appreciate it like we all did. Before this, man, I can't even explain. LOL The ONE part that really shifted street skating into overdrive.
i could cry
Dope! Manuel kick flip in front of the up tight business man. Lol
this came out the year I was born haha
So cool
Old Skoo... So nice!
Mmm never seen his part in questionable until now. Wow he's come a long way and still pushing.
this part was the turning point for everybody who could really skate back then.and that heiro song is perfect with the skatin.
EMB SF, was the Love park, before it was hot in PHilly
i never watched this part till now, and i recognise the intro from oskis part in the polar vid. different generation....
About fuckin' time.
Just watching this now, so fucking sick.
back lip round the corner was gnarly
Them trashbag pants though
When skateboarders didn't wear little girl's jeans.
+Frank Stein nope only dresses ; )
Seriously. Shit looks like two dresses sewn together to make a pair of pants.
Lol, all mine were like that then. My parents hated it. Told them I had to let the boys breath
Aw shit... I´m at a point in life in which the baggy pants are uncool. Fuck. They felt great when skating though.
Tim O'Connor is the man
I remember when i went to San Franciso and went to EMB and saw how low the curbs were, i felt like a had been scamed, we were doing these same tricks in Chicago on ledges 3x the height, the "high ledge" at EMB was a normal ledge hight and he only did one trick on it. This wasnt the best skating at the time, it was just where the magazines were filming, we were poor and didnt have all that stuff and honestly didnt know ourselves how low all this stuff was in the videos. The green benches at union square, i remember when i saw those and how low they were, i felt so scamed.
I met two dudes from Chicago whn i traveled there and they sounded exactly like you haha. Even wallenberg had a bigger midwest counterpart according to them. cool guys though
This Is a classic 🛹
Everyone wanted to be Carroll lol. He's an absolute legend but he has alot to answer for lol.
I love the 90s.....
I always thought Carroll looked like Ad Rock from the Beastie Boys (and that dude from that show Northern Exposure), so it’s kinda cool for me he used their music in this.
Great part.
CLASSIC!!!!! Skateboard old scholl style!!!!
kickflip up, kickflip late shuv down…it doesn't get much better than that.
Those Airwalk Enigmas. Ha.
The EMB 7 looks small on video now .. That looked huge in early 90's
This definitely opened the floodgates
Are you referring to the pants or the innovation in tricks ? 🤣
hmmmmm.. some of those tricks were QUESTIONABLE

old part, but still most hilarious ender.
Sick style in an era of sketchy landings
I fucking love the Classics. Skaters could actually skate and they were real not those posters skating for company not for the love of it, well everyone has their reasons
