I believe the late 80's where the best year's in skateboarding. Those years seemed so magical then. Thanks for another amazing blast from the past bro.
I had a double vision street deck with Thunders cause Natas rode Thunders! I had the pink and blue street bones too. Loved that setup and I used to fly on that thing!
This is the street style of my era. 83-89. I saw the street version of an "Ollie Air" vert trick, and that changed everything in street skating. Then the movie "Future Primitive" featured Rodney Mullen doing a kickflip. We were blown away but considered it a freestyle trick. Little did we know how much street skating would change in the 90s.
My dad Harry shot the Venice beach quarter pipe footage with Dressen and them. This was used by permission and it was cool that you asked first. Glad to see it getting airplay. I was right in there skating too, remember it well, good times.
Tony dude…awesome edit. If you could please upload anymore raw footy you got of the Z Boyz. Was so cool to see that contest footage with Aaron Scott and George Watanabe. And seeing that vert footy of Butch Sterbins and Lonnie Hiramoto was sick too. Butch is my favorite skater. Dude has the best style.
These were the days when myself, my roommate Tom, our Friend Teeny all of us are lifelong friends with Pat Ngoho, and lived a few blocks away from Scott Oster, Aaron Murray, and we all would skate with Hosoi, Dressen, and others. We'd meet on Sunday nights at midnight at the MCO building in Westwood and we'd skate the eleven story parking structure having races from top to bottom we'd do crazy shit like catamaran and my roommate and I would go down head first like a boogie boarder. LOL it was crazy fun. I also new Jay Adams pretty well from the neighborhood and surfing and skating . If we weren't skating we were all going nightclubbing around LA up all night and school in the morning. Ngoho a year older than me, and we were a couple years even many years older than those other guys. I like to think we kept skateboarding alive between the early '80s and late '80s when all the parks closed and the sport was dying except us skaters from Westchester, Playa Del Rey, Venice who still kept skating. Then Hosoi and Hawk brought us back to ramps when we had never stopped building ramps and skating anything we could find around the city. I watched the vudeo a second time and realized that another very good friend of mine was in the video right at the very biginning, Robert Russler. We became friends in 7th grade at school and we hung out un a group of crazy Westchester boys, all through jr high and high school. During Robert's climbing career. His step dad and my uncle are friends from when they were in high school way back in the day. Hahahaha very funny seeing Bert hanging out in this video.
We would takethebus from Highland Park to Venice to watch and skate with the best skaters on the world back in the late 80's. To this day, the most stylish skaters I've ever seen. Jesse, TJ, Oster, Hartsell, Dressen, etc. we're so cool to us yet so bad ass. You did not F with these guys. Jesse showed me how to slap curbs, TJ crail snatch, Dressen reverbs. My best friend and I met Oster before he past away at 17. Very special time for me, my bros. and my friends. Thank you for not kicking our asses! You guys were hard. Thank you for maki g this beautiful piece of work. Well done! Haha.
Skateboarding always evolves but an individual's spirit or actual technique can stay as stoked as ever! Especially nowadays, skateboards from all eras are reissued! Stay stoked brother!!
Saved up for my first properly new set up in early 88. Dogtown Dressen. Managed to 05 until serious injury played it's dirty hand. The late 80s into 90s were the best. So much hope and progression. Feel lucky to have skated in that period. U genuinely didn't know what new crazy shit u were going to see, from magazine issue to the next, or from each skate vid to the next. It was changing and progressing that fast. I'd give my left nut to go back to those days.
I wanted to skate with Dressen so bad back when this was happening. Natas and Gonz were older than us so Dressen was the shit! Suicidal Tendencies & Wheels of 🔥 videos

The thing that was a lie is that Jay Adam’s eschewed, the money and Fame that Alva and Peralta pursued, and was some kind of Anti-Capitalist. When in fact his step dad Kent Sherwood in 1976 started skateboard company EZ Ryder which turned into Z Flex in which they were both owners.

@@percywilliams2433are you able to skate around still and enjoy your self ? I'm 52 and half pipe and pool has been over for a little while but I have young sons and enjoy skating with them but it's starting to hurt when I fall don't heal as fast.
1) It's the style of music we love and listened to at this time and was recorded here where this footage was filmed. What style of music do you like and where are you from? 2) Thrash metal? LOL. I have edited thousands of skate videos. Soundtrack 101: If the music is harder than it action it makes the action look soft. 🎒
I’m from Boyle height’s and grew up skating in the 80’s! All over LA and Venice ! We did not listen to that weak stuff trust me ! It was all punk rock metal and if it was rap it definitely wasn’t that stuff lol there’s a new doc called sk8face ! It’s about art music and skateboarding. Not once do they mention this silly song you have on here !
@@ROBOSKOT Ok, right on, that's what you and your crew liked. This crew listened to this style of music mostly and when we skated and filmed their parts it was playing in the van and at the sessions. Furthermore this particular track is from there. Perfection.

It feels like it’s about time the big companies pooled together and paid for you to be a historian. Can’t think of a better custodian for our thing.
Sounds great 👍. When everyone starts being good people. And when the industry is owned by skaters again.
Bring back the super stylish g-turn as contest trick!!!
Yeah! Super stylish drop knee G turns at the end your run in 1989. Thanx for the trigger.
I believe the late 80's where the best year's in skateboarding. Those years seemed so magical then. Thanks for another amazing blast from the past bro.
They really were and they were a lot more innocent times as well
Dressen on the mini ramp🤯
PURE no big sponsorships no organized contests just RIPPING for the fun of it with your friends excellent footage
So much style and power
KILLER! Mythical era.
Best skateboarding channel. PERIOD.
Thank you!!
Such fun times back in the day! I was Timmy Jackson’s girlfriend at the time. Love seeing this! ❤
Still my favorite era in skateboarding history. Subscribed.
slickest move of all at 8:30 . . the old zoom-around the wall bail move lol
every single skater in this video sponsored or not is exactly what skating is and should be ! these guys DOMINATED 😊
Robert Russler on the first sec with Dressen!Damn what a blast...
An amazing time in skateboarding. When I go out skating this is what I am thinking about. As almost 47 year old, this is what skateboarding is to me.
Same! My first real board was a Dogtown, Aaron Murray board🤘 I look at what these skaters are doing now and it blows my mind.
@@TapRiot 💯 12 year olds at the local park blow my mind.
How old were you ? Like 10 ?

Always pushing, always innovating 💪
Dude, that was so good. Too many outstanding moments to call out.
All of them pioneers!
FINALLY! Footage of the breakwater half pipe after almost 40 years. The Hosoi video was too “artsie fartsie” to really soak it in.
5:00 i love this bail my board always goes for a fence too
0.23 is at 135 st elementary in Gardena we’d go there and to Sporting Ideas skate shop
Great edit! Thanks for continuing to share 🙏✌️
O.G. Dogtown here....1976 to 1983. So the Zephyr surf shop still had a skate team and these are some of the guys???
Dogtown Skates and Santa Monica Airlines were the two companies I remember. Definitely connected to Zephyr, though.
Nice edit
Aqui estou eu em São Paulo, Brazil...51 anos de idade e skate e punk rock desde sempre
This channel rocks
So good
sick! me too, 47, still skatin a little, keep the dream alive.
Killer edit TR! ❤️💛💚

Where is that wavy banked school spot? Would love to keep the stoke of these Ledgends and go skate their
I’m only 20 so my opinion is irrelevant but the kids my age got no Fkn idea how late to the party they are this is the best era of skate boarding
What's New
lmao
Keep it alive kid for the next generation . I'm 52 now and skate with my young sons. To old for half pipes and pools but but can still skate around
So, do we blame Tim Jackson or Jesse Martinez for street plants? Tim Jackson does that weird Ho-Ho off that wall plant, that sums up my 1988.
