For real! I started skating in 2000 and owned loads of great skate videos, from the original Plan B vids to Welcome to Hell, Jump Off a Building, One Step Beyond, Manual Labor, many, many others, but I probably watched Thrashin' to get stoked to skate the most, mainly just for that downhill race section at the end; there wasn't anything like that in my entire library aside from Chris Senn's part in Jump Off a Building, and bombing hills was my favorite. I never had any Anti-Hero videos, unfortunately.
@@maximusprime3459 l should of mentioned that movie too. I use to watch it all the time. Back to the future was the reason l got into skateboarding. Another film l use to watch only for the skateboarding was Police Academy 4 which had the original bones brigade.

I saw Tony in a "wellness supplement" commercial last week and I got the same feeling you get when you turn on the classic radio station expecting to hear Led Zeppelin and they're playing Pearl Jam.
@@jaysanchez5804Just know that someone had to pay for the rights to use that. That is why getting a song writing credit is so important in a band, the money gets split between performance and writer.
I'm a kid of the '80s. I grew up loving thrashing when I heard Josh brolin didn't like it. It was a little heartbreaking, but I understand that sometimes when you do projects you might not be as proud of them, but I'm glad he's embraced the good things about it and what it's done for people and I am one of those people. I got diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 2 years ago. Thrashing was a movie I grew up watching and the song staring down the demons and his training montage with the broken arm. Help me through my chemotherapy and stem cell transplant. I had to do and I use it to inspire and move me just about every day. Thank you Joshua brolin thank you Pamela gidley I appreciate you guys so much and thank you. Tony hawk and the bone brigade really appreciate you guys as well
Gleaming the Cube was an awesome movie for me when I was a kid. It was one of only a few kid or skate movies that my parents took seriously enough to watch with us.
Thrashin' was huge for skaters because skateboarding was still a weird subculture at the time. Any depiction of skating in popular culture was a big deal.
@@jujutaino5403 True most things are. But one of the problem with gleaming the cube was it came too late. By the time it hit the theaters the skating fever was all ready dying. The only one left were die hard skaters. who mocked the movie. Also trying turn it into a revenge action movie...Not a good idea. Trashin was first and started it all. Cleaming, was just what showed it was over
I absolutely loved that chase scene with Circle Jerks' Wild in the Street. I lived on a sick hill and would bomb it right after watching that scene, many, many times. The downhill race at the end was also legitimately gnarly, and it definitely influenced my love of hill bombing, my favorite thing in skateboarding, really. As cheesy as Thrashin' was, the skating was super gnarly, and as a skater in the early 00's who was obsessed with 80's skating, Thrashin' was pure gold because it was the only 80's skate footage I had access to pre-yt.
Thrashin' was an amazing movie as a kid. I mean it had EVERYTHING you ever needed - chicks, Cali, rock n' roll, skateboards, teenage angst.. It brought me a whole different pov on things. I saw it in the early 90s on vhs. Still watch it every now n then! 🙂
I loved the music in Thrashin. My top 3 are Blackeyed Blonde by The red hot chilli peppers, Staring down the demons by Animotion and Wild in the streets by The Circle Jerks. Plus That’s Good by Devo.
@@galvanizedgnome I've read about Kedis. His dad was a drug dealer that would get Kedis high at 12 or younger and have him have sex with women. Never heard about his Epstein connection though.
@@anthonyhernandez3569 *BIG BIG FACTS!!!* There’s a Thrashin’ retrospective here on YT by Bread and Cinemas that does an amazing job explaining what these surface-level corny movies meant to subcultures that were starting to get mainstream looks.
My story related to Trashin': I was about 8 years old when I first saw the movie along with a couple of kids in the neighbourhood. I was living in a part of Europe, everything flat as a tiled floor. No hills around. Still we got skateboards from our parents and played racing on a downhill event on flat with the kids from the neighborhood. Then I promised myself I am gonna become a downhill skateboarder. Past 30 years I moved to a place with hills around and this childhood memory suddenly kicks in out of nowhere. I am like, ok, now is the time. I traced down the local downhill longboard community, bought the gear and after 5 years of practicing, learning I became a downhill longboarder. Living the best life right now.
What! Thrashin was freaking awesome. I remember being like 9 or 10 yrs old and I'd pretend I was on a board with my arms behind my back going downhill,lol, and my older brother would constantly give me shit for looking stupid af while doing it. Ahh such wholesome childhood memories.
Thrashin meant EVERYTHING to us in Sweden. It was our only video that showed real skating! We didnt believe Dogtown was a real place. All the bowls and the ramp and the downhill like... we LOVED this movie! Still do. Is it a corny story? Yes, but so what! Its an incredible movie! Full stop! The Ramp Locals RULE!
Come on, Thrashin was apart of my childhood golden age of Skateboarding 🛹 embrace it man. So many Excellent Skaters in that movie. Hosoi was a Dagger haha, this movie reminds me of one of my Best friends of my Life JT, he passed away and I miss him to this day. Him and I would street Skate constantly and in between watch Thrashin, & the Bones Brigade videos, Horror movies and make each other laugh our asses off. Those were the days. RIP JT. I miss you Bro.
"Favorite" part about Thrashin' was Brolin's character talking about skateboarding while the love interest chic sits across from him at the table doing an Oscar worthy performance in pretending to be interested in the nonsense he's spewing.
hAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh Dude you kill me. That was super funny. But thinking back more than 20 years. Yeah you're right an Oscar worthy performance. Hahahahaha. But isn't that sort of what we do,when girls talk to us about what their friends are up to? PS I think they became an item for a short while after that movie. Cause when Pamela died,he wrote something like my :rip Pamela my girlfriend 2 times or something
I was in 7th grade. I also liked Breakin' 2 - Electric Boogaloo. Yeah... not such a quality film but still... nostalgia for kids. I was a kid. I watched it not long ago and cringed but it still carried that vibe of when life was so much easier and fun.
This movie definitely changed the musical leanings for this 10 year old boy in 86. Almost 40 years later the Peppers are still my favorite band. I just seen the Circle Jerks last summer too. I don’t skate anymore, but punk rock definitely changed my life, and it started with this movie.
As a poser skater kid , riding around on my Vision 'Gator' around 87 , I thought it was pretty cool. 😂 I like the opening credits with all the half pipe action and that Devo song 'That's Good'. Forever lodged into my memory.

Yeah I understand. I’m in that demographic. Reading through the comments, this conversation hit close to home. We’d spend hours perfecting ollies, attempting kickflips (getting stoked when we’d manage to land 1 in 50)😅. Go to the local vert ramp (finally “dropping in” on our 100th visit) perfecting tailtaps, rail slides, and pulling off the coveted 50/50 Decks were wide, at least one article of clothing was neon, Big Gulps reigned supreme, and I loved every moment of it. 🤘
Gleaming the Cube was my first favorite movie. It was the first non blockbuster I gravitated too. Christian Slater was my favorite actor for a long time
I feel like Tony didn't give Josh enough props for Thrashin. He declared Spade an OG for being able to skate in a basic way and for starring in the Police Academy movie that featured some skateboarding scenes yet Brolin was a part of a real crew and Thrashin was a classic.
Yeah I know what you mean. I was thinking about this movie a week ago and got it on DVD off eBay to revisit it from my childhood. Great memories!!! I always wondered how much of the skating Josh actually did. I mean there’s parts where you can clearly see it’s him skating and times it’s a double but I always felt they did a good job and it wasn’t too obvious. I always wondered if he did any of the bowl skating scenes or if that was all his double doing it?
I have the movie on DVD. I watch it frequently. I still laugh every time they cut the roof off of that Volkswagen and he tells everybody that his shop teacher would be proud and that cabriolet means fast car lol
Loved this movie as a kid and first time I saw chili peppers playing Black eyed blonde with Hillel, with a gas mask on..that movie meant the world to me and my small town skater friends!! Classic
Both of "THOSE" movies got me out of my abusive alcoholic drug dealing stepfathers clutches. When I saw the amazing person and life Tony had created, It was inspiring as a man. Thank you guys.
My friends and I loved Thrashin’. I remember talking about it on the playground and all of us started skating. It may be a “dumb” movie or whatever, but the doesn’t change my love for it. It’s a freakin’ classic in my mind.
I agree. The storytelling isn't very original. It's basically Romeo & Juliet on skateboard.The director/producer even admitted as much in the behind the scenes video. But so was every other teen movie in the 80s. Dirty Dancing. Flash dance. Lambada.Rooftops etc. To name a few. Though I will say.The fight scene in thrashing could've been batter produced. Josh fight like a girl. But at least he got laid doing it.
Thrashin introduced me to The Circle Jerks. Still my favorite punk band to this day. I even used the movie as the basis for a phoney book report I did in school, and I called it "The L.A. Massacre", because I didn't read any book, so I faked it and used the entire Thrashin plot line. The teacher fell for it, and gave me an A. Lol
Thrashin, just like the surfing movie North Shore, only needed to age. It's a time capsule that completely captured the era and the only thing that was really off about the movie was that the Daggers were actually the cool/good guys... Kinda like Johnny in Karate Kid. Loved it then, love it now.
It's a shit movie, but as a skater kid, it was the bomb, and to see these two guys get where they are is so fun. Also, props to the scene where Josh is meant to have his board and someone hands it to him from off screen and you can see it happen
Dude, I love (even now and again, today) watching this movie just to count all the inconsistencies and crew in the shots. Plus, I still use the line "... Hey ladies. I'm classy, I swear.... I know him."
@@dnbsoldier7259 😂 Ska-bleed! I think there might be a manked in there too. I spent $2 every couple weeks to rent it and watched with my skater friends. Isn’t Bucky Lasek a 10 year old in that scene?
This is so cool. I got into skateboarding because of Bones Brigade and Thrashin ' Seeing them talk about it after all these years, puts the biggest smile on face. Thank you for the memories.
I’m a 90s kid, I came into skateboarding when all the best videos were coming out….but I found Thrashin at the my local video store and loooooved it! Of course it doesn’t hold up now that I’m adult, but I will always have fond memories of it.
Can somebody please put Josh Brolin and Thomas Haden Church in a quirky comedy/action movie together (something akin to The Nice Guys or Sideways) where they play brothers?
Movies like Thrashin and RAD are the reason i got into what is now called “action sports” so they may hate it before a ton of us those were markers in making us who we are
"...and then there's this TARANTULA" (audio gets all loud) 😂💕👏👍 I grew up watchung Thrashin'. My brother and all friends loved that movie. Watched dozens of times 👍
North Shore was also in this category of so bad it was good, now it's a classic 80's film along with RAD and the obvious sk18 films we all know and hate to love.
Props to Hawk and Brolin for talking about their not-so-pro early days; I'm pretty sure people don't start off being really good at what they do. Fortunately, not a whole lot of us have video history of our early performances.
No hate for this flick! Saw it in the 80’s and Gleaming the Cube and they were so important to me as an outcast skater kid in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania. Made me realize I was part of something.
I have to go back and watch Gleaming the Cube again because I remember it as being a pretty good movie. What's funny is Max Perlich, who played Yabbo in the film, used to live in my neighborhood about 10 years ago. I kept bumping into him at the 7/11, but didn't say anything until he was ahead of me in line one day and didn't have enough cash to complete the transaction and the clerk wasn't letting him slide... I just popped up and said, "I got it, bro... I know who you are." Anyways, he waits for me outside and we chat for 10 minutes about movies and stuff... really nice, slightly eccentric guy. Anyways, he paid me back the next time I ran into him.
These guys (Josh and Tony) are missing the bigger picture. Thrashin was a classic 80’s movie. Entertaining story, great action scenes, and awesome soundtrack. You left the theater thinking you got your money’s worth. Compare that with the crap movies being made today.
I Agree. But Josh isn't the brightest. A few years back he managed to get a sunburned Asshole. Cause there was this myth. That suntanning your assholes was good for you.
My wife just scored me a copy of Thrashin' and I'm so excited. It was cool to see a skating subculture on screen. We didn't have the Internet so this was the closest thing. It's pure nostalgia now. I'm too old and banged up to skate but this movie makes me want to get a board and try again. Great episode guys!
Of course he didn’t like it, it was a different experience for him than us. For us, it was sitting back and being entertained for 2 hours. He looks at a scene and remembers stuff like “It was 4 in the morning, we were freezing, and it took the f’n lighting guy forever to set up” or “yeah, that guy in the scene with me was such an asshole.” I understand why a lot of actors don’t watch their own movies.
Thrashin' may not have been a work of art in the tradtional sense of the word, but for every young person who saw it, it altered the trajectory of their life in a meaningful way. For the audience who needed that movie, it was sublime.

Thrashin and Rad were like my life when I was a kid. Anyone who like to BMX and Skateboard loved those movies as a kid.
My cousin and I just went to a screening of Rad at a local theater. Probably watched it 100 times growing up. Sung all the songs and had a blast.
Definitely has a good soundtrack @@OEG85
Same for most of us in our 40's bro!!
You do realize the plot for both movies is basically the same. 🤷♂️🤦♂️😂 I still love them though.
Fuck yeah.. I saw them both at the show. I thought I was cool with my hutch trickstar.
"Trashing" and "Gleaming the Cube" are '80s classics.

And Rad

Though I will say.The fight scene in thrashing could've been batter produced. Josh fight like a girl. But at least he got laid doing it.
Thrashin introduced me to The Circle Jerks. Still my favorite punk band to this day.
I even used the movie as the basis for a phoney book report I did in school, and I called it "The L.A. Massacre", because I didn't read any book, so I faked it and used the entire Thrashin plot line. The teacher fell for it, and gave me an A. Lol
i still love thrashin...WILD IN THE STREETS!!!!
Thrashin’ was awesome. Terrible but awesome.
Terribly Awsome
Like a lot of 80s films. Hahaha but we all still watch em. Miss the old days
So was RAD, but us freestyle riders ate it up. We didn’t care about the story, we just got off on naming the riders in their scenes.
Thrashin, just like the surfing movie North Shore, only needed to age. It's a time capsule that completely captured the era and the only thing that was really off about the movie was that the Daggers were actually the cool/good guys... Kinda like Johnny in Karate Kid. Loved it then, love it now.
North Shore is a gem
It's a shit movie, but as a skater kid, it was the bomb, and to see these two guys get where they are is so fun. Also, props to the scene where Josh is meant to have his board and someone hands it to him from off screen and you can see it happen
I'm 48 and still love Thrashin' and have it on DVD. I guess you haven't seen any movies in the last 23 years.
Meh. I am 49 and still love Thrashin'. It doesn't change the fact that it's objectively a turd of a movie@@MickSupper
Thrashin was like finding god as a 10 year old
I absolutely loved Thrashin'! I first saw it as a kid in the 80s. I still love it as an adult.
A older cousin and I walked to a video store to rent thrashin when I was in 4th grade. I watch it with my 8 year old son now.
The truth is that in 2023 we have come full circle, and Thrashin' is cool again. "Everything old is new again."
Jesus that's what my parents said when Dirty Dancing came out
@@TheIronDuke9dirty dancing is a great movie
I love Thrashin. For a kid growing up back then, it was and still is one of my favorite movies. I had the biggest crush on Pamela Gidley. RIP
Dude, I love (even now and again, today) watching this movie just to count all the inconsistencies and crew in the shots. Plus, I still use the line "... Hey ladies. I'm classy, I swear.... I know him."
Tony Hanks, legend.
The Search for Animal Chin is the best 80’s skate movie.
You are correct
Hands down, and it's not even close! "Maps to the skater's homes!" LOL
@@dnbsoldier7259 Chris Miller is hilarious in the backyard town house scene!
@@distantgalaxymusic1447 Twanked and danked! Don't forget about Johnny Rad and The Eggplants!
@@dnbsoldier7259 😂 Ska-bleed! I think there might be a manked in there too. I spent $2 every couple weeks to rent it and watched with my skater friends.
Isn’t Bucky Lasek a 10 year old in that scene?
The producers laughing in the background is top tier!!! A++++
I’m so glad Tony and Jason do podcast like this now
This is so cool. I got into skateboarding because of Bones Brigade and Thrashin ' Seeing them talk about it after all these years, puts the biggest smile on face. Thank you for the memories.
How can you not like this movie! It is what it is. Early days for a lot of talents. Epic piece of cultural movie!
Tony has no room to talk, Gleaming the Cube.. Really Pizza Hut delivery guy
That movie is a 80s skateboarding classic. It always will be one of my childhood favorites.
I’m a 90s kid, I came into skateboarding when all the best videos were coming out….but I found Thrashin at the my local video store and loooooved it! Of course it doesn’t hold up now that I’m adult, but I will always have fond memories of it.
Can somebody please put Josh Brolin and Thomas Haden Church in a quirky comedy/action movie together (something akin to The Nice Guys or Sideways) where they play brothers?
I'll never forget how he wears his wrist guards backward on the poster promo for thrashin.
I was a skater in the 90s and thrashin was a good movie. Also did sponsored bmx racing and Rad was a good movie too, cult classics
Movies like Thrashin and RAD are the reason i got into what is now called “action sports” so they may hate it before a ton of us those were markers in making us who we are
Thrashin,' Rad, Breakin, and Beat Street all day
I've never seen Beat Street, but have the others on DVD. Used to have Rad on VHS.
Look I'm 50 years old and I still get excited when Circle Jerks "wild in the streets" starts playing on the chase scene. It will never get old to me.
"...and then there's this TARANTULA" (audio gets all loud) 😂💕👏👍
I grew up watchung Thrashin'. My brother and all friends loved that movie. Watched dozens of times 👍
Tony Hawk looks like if Ralph Machio and William Zabka fused together as 1.
Hey I loved it. It got me outside and onto a skateboard. For me, it’s where it all began.
North Shore was also in this category of so bad it was good, now it's a classic 80's film along with RAD and the obvious sk18 films we all know and hate to love.
North Shore was the best
The love interest is always the bad guys sister. Let's not forget that.
One of the best movies ever!
Dude yall r nuts...THRASHIN' will forever be one of my top 3 childhood movies!!!
Rad
Thrashin
Iron eagle
2:21 when Jason says Thrashin was terrible, you can hear someone from the other room have a good hearty laugh lol
Props to Hawk and Brolin for talking about their not-so-pro early days; I'm pretty sure people don't start off being really good at what they do. Fortunately, not a whole lot of us have video history of our early performances.
Dudes, this is one of my favorite films. Movie rules!
Tony Hanks🤣🤘🏼
Saw Glimming the Cube when it was released in the theater. Loved the movie then and still love it in fact I just watched it again last month on stream
Just now realizing this dude is from Thrashin and Goonies, where the fuck have I been.!?
No hate for this flick! Saw it in the 80’s and Gleaming the Cube and they were so important to me as an outcast skater kid in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania. Made me realize I was part of something.
"Gleaming the Cube" is probably my favorite skateboarding movie from that era. I wanted an underground fort for about 3 Xmas's.
Thrashin saved my life….
THRASHIN Was awesome!!!
After watching it in the 80s we all did the gauntlet jousting!!!!!
RAD is just as awesome but for BMXers
Yo I remember watching this movie in vcr tape !! The good days
You guys are awesome :)
We knew Thrashin' wasn't a great movie when it came out, and we definitely thought some of it was cheesy, but we still loved it.
The skating scenes in Thrashin’ were dope though
I have to go back and watch Gleaming the Cube again because I remember it as being a pretty good movie. What's funny is Max Perlich, who played Yabbo in the film, used to live in my neighborhood about 10 years ago. I kept bumping into him at the 7/11, but didn't say anything until he was ahead of me in line one day and didn't have enough cash to complete the transaction and the clerk wasn't letting him slide... I just popped up and said, "I got it, bro... I know who you are." Anyways, he waits for me outside and we chat for 10 minutes about movies and stuff... really nice, slightly eccentric guy. Anyways, he paid me back the next time I ran into him.
I need to watch it again too. I think I saw it in the theater and didn't like it, but probably because I was comparing it to Thrashin'.
I’m barely remember Thrashing, but I was mad hyped seeing the Bones Brigade in Police Academy 4.
hearing josh brolin talking about skating is kind of awesome
These guys (Josh and Tony) are missing the bigger picture. Thrashin was a classic 80’s movie. Entertaining story, great action scenes, and awesome soundtrack. You left the theater thinking you got your money’s worth.
Compare that with the crap movies being made today.
I Agree. But Josh isn't the brightest. A few years back he managed to get a sunburned Asshole. Cause there was this myth. That suntanning your assholes was good for you.
This and Gleaming The Cube were my jam when I was a kid
Jason is hilarious lmao "hard not to laugh in his face though" wrong crowd with tony and josh but i laughed hard 😂
My wife just scored me a copy of Thrashin' and I'm so excited. It was cool to see a skating subculture on screen. We didn't have the Internet so this was the closest thing. It's pure nostalgia now. I'm too old and banged up to skate but this movie makes me want to get a board and try again. Great episode guys!
Of course he didn’t like it, it was a different experience for him than us. For us, it was sitting back and being entertained for 2 hours. He looks at a scene and remembers stuff like “It was 4 in the morning, we were freezing, and it took the f’n lighting guy forever to set up” or “yeah, that guy in the scene with me was such an asshole.” I understand why a lot of actors don’t watch their own movies.
I loved the movie when I was about 10. I'm 48 now...my daughter is 7. 2 yrs ago she was obsessed with Thrashin'!
AND Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo 😂
Tony Hanks!!!! BAHHHHHHH😂
Thrashin' may not have been a work of art in the tradtional sense of the word, but for every young person who saw it, it altered the trajectory of their life in a meaningful way. For the audience who needed that movie, it was sublime.
I'm 49 and loved thrashin! The pool seen with tact's in the pool they rode. Was awesome
