This demo might have been one of the last ones at Danny's Ride Away that had obstacles. I was there with my friend Cal (who worshipped Jeremy Klein) and my friend Brian Kushner.
My parent's would occasionally come up on a 3+1 blank VHS pack. Those things were costly back then at five to six dollars each. They would be generous and give me one of the tapes for my own personal use. You had three recording speeds to choose from; SP, LP or SLP (short play/long play/super long play). In these days the VCR was always set to SLP. That gave you six whole hours of Skate TV excerpts, new wave & punk videos from 120 Minutes, skate video dubs from your friends collections and maybe even some crap footage of yourself trying to poorly ollie a garbage can.
I am not 100% positive who shot this footage. To my knowledge this is a 2nd or 3rd generation dub of a tape that I think Mrs. Bruhl shot on a VHS shoulder cam. She was the mother of some of our skate crew, The Bruhl Clan (Danny, Critter & Dave). They rocked rat tails. I think she did an excellent job for a mom with a VHS camera at a skate demo. I taped this to one of those SLP VHS tapes of mine at someone's house shortly after it happened. I think this tape also later on ended up having Blind Video Days on it & Sonic Youth's 100% video.
I remember Cal was scared to talk to Jeremy Klein who was sitting all alone on his board after skating. I went and talked to him. He was nice to me and I found out he had a severed nerve in his arm from falling through a window messing around (not skating). A foreshadowing of a Klein we would discover much later when he was lipsliding barns on fire and driving a van down the El Toro stairs. Someone also stole his board after the demo and he was bummed because he had new Swiss bearings.
This may have been the demo Rodney Mullen was rude to John Oswald at. I know the old school Bay Shore cats were there cause we knew who they were from skating Babylon and I saw Ron from the city in the crowd. I think The Ronz and Gino were there but I didn't know who they were until a little later at Skateboard Madness.
