Fulfill the dream was a staple of my youth. I grew up in Santa Barbara and knew Jesse and Sammy. I skated the tea bowls (that spot up in the mountains that they do the outdoor skating at). I watched this over and over again on VHS. There’s something about the music, flow, and personalized introductions that make this shit one of a kind. I ran into Muska a party a few months ago and he was happy to reminisce about these days.
Comparto el mismo sentimiento hermano, soy de Colombia, yo y mis amigos poníamos el fulfill the dream en VHS antes de salir a patinar, totmente inspirados y motivados, mi preferido era Peter por su gran estilo y frescura a la hora de ejecutar los trucos, también me gusta la parte de steve olson con esa gran canción de guru e inspectah de fondo!! Realmente eran un gran equipo (shortys) marcaron una generación, Hermosos recuerdos!
My fav thing about Smolik is how much fun you could see he was having. He never took s**t too serious and that goofy, laidback attitude never keep him from killin it. Total embodiment of youth. So endearing. Damn skateboarding is so awesome. What sport embracing youth, art and free expression more than skateboarding. (Baseball is awesome too though.) 👀
My old as dirt parents waited in line at Church of Skatan to get an autographed shorty's deck, and Smolik signed that thing in the late 90's or early 2000's. I learned to skate on and wrecked that board. Learned half my tricks at san marcos high school, in the video, where I'd graduate in 2009. Thanks for making my childhood, Peter Smolik. You'll never see this but you formed my childhood memories and laid the foundation for the best days of my life, and I thank you.
He'll yeah. Me and my dudes probably did skate for 12 hours some days. I loved it so fucking much! I had an injury that eventually lead to me having a very bad heroin addiction. Definitely would of did things different if I knew what it was going to happen.
@@Trillmxtic im just asking to get your opinion. You really think muska was better then smolik? All we saw muska do was 50/50 n boardslides type stuff. Smolik was so tech flipin in n outta tricks. Thats why he got voted best part
Smolik had so much style it was insane. I was in 8th grade when this tape dropped and me and all my friends all bought the VHS tapes with our parents money lol smolik and Brandon Turner on the storm was legendary as well
Man...that opening trick with Chad/Smolik...back in 1998 it was almost insulting or a playful gesture when someone would land a flawless trick on an obstacle..then the next trick by someone else on the same obstacle would 1 up them. We'd call it 'show'd up' or 'showing someone up.' Our city was littered with skaters - fast forward into 2019 and the only people I see are a few college people with boat/yacht shoes on long boards. Its an era most people will never be able to enjoy again. Never forget!
@@origaminefretami3480 thank you!! i searched up and down for this song and could not find it. forgot about it so it's a great surprise to hear from you. thanks!
I basically got all of my "skater swagger" from Fulfill the Dream. Shorty's, Black Magic, Ghetto child... I used all of their products almost strictly. I can't skate anymore, but it's still so cool to watch.
“Fulfill the dream” was my first skate video back then, and this was my favorite part! Dude just straight murders it so hard! 🤯 the style, the tricks, the delivery... dude! 🤯🤯🤯🔥🔥🔥
I didnt see this video till summer 2003 and loved this part the best and then heard lots of people talk trash about it cuz he was "too techy" It was the Jamie Thomas era where it was just all about giant stair sets and stuff i suppose
Wow this dude, I think everybody was blinded by Muska that they forgot Shorty's had a whole team, and of rippers! Peter Smolik making these tricks that still I dont see people doing look chill, my buddy had this video so we would watch and he would obsess over Muska, and I did too of course how could you not, but I was like dude I think this guy is better and he got pissed at me lol, stand by my word, even tho Muska had a lot of raw talent that he didn't film lol, he said he did a lot of them same tricks filming but when he wasn't filming he tried harder tricks, but when he filmed he did the tricks he knew he had on lock
Because he's awesome, and the dude rips. Wow, that was deep and hard thought. Smolik's FTD is still pretty epic. I drew a little too much inspiration from this part back in high school. Yes, I'm that old.
aww you lucky bugger, those were my favorite color of all time. i also liked the gray ones and the blue/black..... such a good shoe. i hope they still fit you, never wear them outside of your house.
Smolik really is one of the best of his gen
Jawanna Man Couldn't agree with you more
"of his gen" lolol, try all time
@@HotBoxTrucking right, way ahead of his time
@@HotBoxTrucking Are you saying he is better than Rodney Mullen??
@@squick1842 u ever see Rodney Mullen do anything to risk his life the way Smolik does?
Man this Shorty's team of the 90's will never be equalled.
2 decades plus later and is still one of my best memories and parts of skateboarding. Love Peter Smolik!!! Thank you for the years of inspiration
Yuto won the Olympics with Peter Smolik signature tricks. Nollie 270 Boardslides & Nollie 270 Noseslide.

1998 and still SICK as hell by todays standard. Way ahead of its time holy shit

The most underrated skater of all time.
Nice to see he gets some recognition on the classics!
Dude was a G. So much swag on the board
A swag G. Lmao
Easily the most underrated skater of all time.
'98...the year of wearing baggy khakis on a 105 degree day and skating for 12 hours straight
Ok buddy im sure u skated 12 hours a day haha
Dam straight sukaaa
He'll yeah. Me and my dudes probably did skate for 12 hours some days. I loved it so fucking much! I had an injury that eventually lead to me having a very bad heroin addiction. Definitely would of did things different if I knew what it was going to happen.
And we still got the girls
That about sums it up for me too. I still wear the pants though. I will not move to gay skinny jeans that are popular nowadays.
That kickflip back tail kickflip out. Legendary.
Peter smolik was ahead of his time,
Nah 90’s Shortys was just next level in general from Rosa to Olson. Chad Muska was a genius
@@Trillmxtic im just asking to get your opinion. You really think muska was better then smolik? All we saw muska do was 50/50 n boardslides type stuff. Smolik was so tech flipin in n outta tricks. Thats why he got voted best part
@@fastturbo7150 Yeah personally I think he was but Muska created the team and the direction of the company. That’s why I said he was a genius
@@TrillmxticSmolik was always better then Muska. That intro here alone with Muska and Smolik shows why
@@origaminefretami3480 Muska had another legendary part in guilty 3 years after. I love them both but Muska tips it
Smolik had so much style it was insane. I was in 8th grade when this tape dropped and me and all my friends all bought the VHS tapes with our parents money lol smolik and Brandon Turner on the storm was legendary as well
Peter smolik the OG of street hip hop skateboarding!
Switch 270 switch back lip, 5-0 big spin out damn that back tail varial flip out was sick. I remember some of these clips in genie of the lamp too.
I felt honored to sit next to him at The Misled Youth premier at Spreckles in SD.

Best skating style of all time.
Facts
True

@Travis Edwards front salad, back salad, front blunt
Maybe 15 years after I'd say...now that's the Norm...
This video encapsulates 90's Skateboarding....
take me back for a day.....

ODS the switch king. EVERY single trick still holds up today in this part.
I haven’t seen this video since 2003 and I can still remember the words to every song lol “party ain’t shieeet if you ain’t gettin drunk!”
Do you know what this song is?

This is insane skateboarding for the era
Dude had incredible style after landing a trick
HELL. YEAH. This is a true classic. I still remember watching this part 800 times in a row when it first came out back in 1998.
still got this on vhs by far one of the most influential skate vids for me as a kid.
One of the best video parts of all time. Thanks for uploading. I almost forgot about this one.
Fedaralz - If You Don't Got A Keg
Sick ass song!!!
I've been waiting 20 years for this information. Good looking out bro.
I watched this part like a million times as a kid.. I believe its a big reason why I'm a backside tailsliding alcoholic hahah
I like how theres just a random Steve Olson trick in the middle of his part
"yo party aint shiiiit if you aint gettin druuuunk!"- Me at my 3 year old's birthday party
😂
Was wondering when this was going to be on here.....dude just oozed confidence and style...~Sk8mafia~
Como olvidar esa parte, eso si es un clasico y tambien fue el año que empece a patinar!
“Fulfill the dream” was my first skate video back then, and this was my favorite part! Dude just straight murders it so hard! 🤯 the style, the tricks, the delivery... dude! 🤯🤯🤯🔥🔥🔥
Always one of my favorite skaters ever!
Legendary part.
Part is 16 YEARS OLD and most pros still dont rip this hard today!!!! SIXTEEN YEAR OLD PART!!!
whole fulfill the dream is hard!
such a smooth style
Smolik been killing it for a long time
Shortys skateboards "this shits got pop!!"
Smolik..legendary..exemplary..to all those who ain't ahead of..time
Back when skating was an original subculture and not some mainstream cookie cutter bullshit... The hay day...
Alex Myers When you say this it seems to lose the meaning
To be fair the talent has been taken to an unprecedented level all these years later
@@pepperachu it's called evolution after 20 years
I miss "bro cam" skate videos like this. Back before everyone tried to make their video look like some indie/art house film.
One of the best parts out there.
I didn’t know how good he was when I watched this video
Fulfill the dream was my favorite skate video
Smolik, Muska and Penny are fucking skateboarding gods!
@Jessica Sammys Smolik is a genius on the board
The year is now 2024....this shit is a classic of a classic and i love it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🛹🛹🛹🛹
Ol' Dirty Smolik
I didnt see this video till summer 2003 and loved this part the best and then heard lots of people talk trash about it cuz he was "too techy"

Because he's awesome, and the dude rips. Wow, that was deep and hard thought. Smolik's FTD is still pretty epic. I drew a little too much inspiration from this part back in high school. Yes, I'm that old.
Still amazing, even by today's standards
He' creating 1998 this standard today !

Top3 most stylish Trick ever done.
3:30 so dope!
3:04 That spot is still there, had to go to an appointment at a doctors office and it's in the parking lot
Ah the 90s. When i skated, read Thrasher and ordered from CCS
Was Peter Smolik as really as good as we gave him credit for or was it just the aesthetic that we loved so much
270 tail 270 is on par today, back tail 270 ledge drop is insane. He is that good
shit is so good, Smolik was off the chain. Reminds me of watching Antwuan skate the way he’s gnarly aF on ledges
KING

''This shits got pop!'' Anyone?
