So nostalgic. I was 16 in ‘92. Had been skating about three years in these exact type of spots. I idolized these guys and many others. Sigh. Where did the time go? I swear it was yesterday. 🫠
The Union Wheel video was great. I loved the Markovich and Byrd parts. I watched this video so much back in 1993, as it was one of maybe 3 videos I had.
The 90's were iconic times for street skating, back when there were lines of tricks following tricks. Nowadays is ruined by 1 trick on to the next big trick,no style like the 80's going into 90's. San Bernadino Team Street style back in the days of true street skating to all of those that remember.
Used to love doing nose slides to a pop shuv it out back in like 94 on my ron knigge new deal rat slick deck with thunder trucks and 40mm powell jelly balls.🤙🤙🤙
If you looked at these, you’d think Andrew would be the biggest star of the future, as Koston was still a bit unpolished and more sketchy. But that would all change, and Eric’s natural talents and sparks of flare would eventually make him one of the GOAT’s. Not to say Reynolds isn’t also a GOAT, cause he sorta is now in his own right, but that road wasn’t as immediate as Koston’s. I think Andrew admits to drugs and alcohol interfering. Koston must just stayed grinding more than anyone will ever know. Sadly I don’t recall any of these skate parts. The first video I ever saw was Virtual Reality…which isn’t released too far after this.
I remember wearing huge oversise jeans like that. We used to put our wheels in a lathe and make them really small too.... alot of silly shit went on in the 90's 😆 Three great parts for the time, cant believe it was that long ago.
Yup huge pants the complete opposite of those goofy skinny jeans they be wearing now. I used to sport d-lux wide cords and jeans or the q-ambient jeans. We thought it helped on lengthy gaps like they were parachutes as the legs would fill up with air. The 90's were great.
The huge jeans acted like parachutes on lengthy gaps and stairs we thought lol funny how things changed. Now it's goofy skinny jeans. The làte 80's and 90's were a rad time to be a teenage skateboarder.
As a kid who started skateboarding in 88/89, i remember going outside in summer of 1992 with my old school skate, and saw for the first time that ugly popsicles with small wheels. I was so dissapointed with that changes.
Skate pra min ficou na memória, não ando walk mais remar ollie , a ollie fakie , flip 180 graus Brasil, baixada Flavinho rock slide , pequeno velhos tempos board.😊
I had this video dubbed in the middle of a 6hr tape. My best friends brother would record mtv 2 all day so he could make video mix tapes of his favorite music videos. We bugged him so much to watch the Union video that he recorded on his shittiest tape, flap missing and all. We watched that video everyday before going to skate. We had the time for every part memorized. These kids today have no idea how good they have it. 😂😂😂😂😂
Along with Guy Mariano’s immortal Blind promo montage, Mike Carrol, Rick Howard, Sean Sheffey and Pat Duffy in Questionable defined 1992 for me. None of that slow mo slappy-into-nose/tail or kickflip g-turn nonsense from those guys

No, these parts didn’t change everything. They are all from Union wheels video “Right to skate”. It wasn’t widely spread and not as well made as the more popular videos from that era. Quite rare. It got some attention during recent years, due to The Berrics made a video about Reynolds talking about his first video part. Your clip is of good quality, what was your source? Reynold’s parts is his first part. Although this is not from when he started to shine, he had to mature a bit more. This must be just before his part in Birdhouse’s Ravers. Ravers had a huge impact. That Alphonzo part is not by any comparison as famous as his parts in the H-Street videos. The Koston part is probably his least known part. And it was not Koston’s first part. His part in H-Street Next Generation is older, it also had a huge impact.
I worked for Skaters Union (Union Wheels). Although I was not involved in the making of this video, the wheels were in pretty much every skate shop in the U.S. and many overseas and every retail account got the videos so yes, it made a huge imapact and changed everything on the street level. Yes, history slept on it and of course other videos are always mentioned but those who were there know.
Was about to say, Koston's part in Next Generation is faaar better and definitely career-foundational. Although Right to Skate is one of my most favourite videos of all time, along with Next Generation.
@@RealSkateStories I skated Union wheels myself. One of the smallest I had. The brand is [was] well known. No one mentioned the video in my area and the shops didn’t have it.
I highly doubt ARs part made a difference to anyone who saw him skate street. Once the word is you’re very skater. You’re locked in for life doing that. 😂
I strongly disagree Hugo. Besides being super tech on street very early, he was steppin' up to rails no one wanted any part of. That made a huge difference to most who witnessed in person or on video. Being one of the best on vert as well does not take away from that. Generations later he is looked at as top five all around skaters of all time. Listen to Jason Rogers episode where he calls Alf the absolute best.
@@RealSkateStories th-cam.com/video/yrLR4XZUuMg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bkr57AVp0ehsCj9p. Found it @0:44:23 and you’re quite right. I guess I was wearing a blind fold bc I never seen any of the footage of that time when I basically faded away from skateboarding altogether. So it was my transitioning out from skateboarding to handle “real-life” matters at the time.
These guys featured in this video were really concentrating on writing the book of super tech at this time, which started really small. At this same time however, you had dudes like Donger, John Reeves, Markovich and others going absolutely huge.
I shake my head when someone says Koston is their favorite skater. Even in his prime he looked like a 35 yr old chubby dad. He thinks he's hilarious but really he just has a quick temper and TRIES to use humor to mask this
Worst? I thought flips+slides were a new thing, but these kids were doing it in1992. Plus 180flips, boardslide+tailslide, nolly, switch, late flips. These new boards with small wheels helped to explore some new tricks that were almost impossible before.
1:17 never saw a fs shove-it revert before. Absolutely gorgeous 😍
Who is that? Smooth as silk

So nostalgic. I was 16 in ‘92. Had been skating about three years in these exact type of spots. I idolized these guys and many others.
Sigh. Where did the time go? I swear it was yesterday. 🫠
Seeing those cars too its like I dont remember them looking so outdated XD
I was 16 too. This video solidified my decision to move out to San Diego the moment I graduated high school. Truly a golden era.
I was skating so much in this era but I’ve never seen any of this before. So sick!
The Union Wheel video was great. I loved the Markovich and Byrd parts. I watched this video so much back in 1993, as it was one of maybe 3 videos I had.
I'd say the 1992 part that really changed everything was Duffy's part in Questionable.
Agree but kids watched these parts then went outside and did it.
Video days
@@taelabaho 91
Duffy was not as young as there guys then.
@@inspirationx1 even if that’s the case: so? What does age have to do with anything in this convo?
For me it was Ricky Oyola eastern exposure Zero. 😮
It was all about the 411VM for me back in the day. Showcase across the board
We all couldn't wait to get that 411 video each month
Basehead was such an interesting choice to put this video but it fits so well, especially with Kostons part.
Koston ❤
The 90's were iconic times for street skating, back when there were lines of tricks following tricks. Nowadays is ruined by 1 trick on to the next big trick,no style like the 80's going into 90's. San Bernadino Team Street style back in the days of true street skating to all of those that remember.
Hard to compare the decades..it was epic then it's epic now!
Lol Rawls part has tons of one trick shots.... you sounds like an old man
Everything is so naturally Stylish .... ❤ The Golden era 100%
Koston has already given everything, much ahead of anyone
This video is really catching you and holding you to do skateboarding, is fun!😊🔥
Used to love doing nose slides to a pop shuv it out back in like 94 on my ron knigge new deal rat slick deck with thunder trucks and 40mm powell jelly balls.🤙🤙🤙
Great footage and dig the Basehead songs!

Very true.
(On a side note, that second track’s awesome)
Rawls was great on transitions too.
I remember wearing huge oversise jeans like that. We used to put our wheels in a lathe and make them really small too.... alot of silly shit went on in the 90's 😆 Three great parts for the time, cant believe it was that long ago.
I remember trying to shape my wheels on grip tape.
56 & I still proudly wear oversized clothes.
Better days, tenfold✊

Same! I just didn’t get it. it was like everything changed overnight and someone forgot to tell me! 😂
@@cooganbeggs4942 true. And the worst was that skateboarding lost influence. That year most of my friends and kids from my city, just quit skating.
2:38 Insane late flip.

Skate pra min ficou na memória, não ando walk mais remar ollie , a ollie fakie , flip 180 graus Brasil, baixada Flavinho rock slide , pequeno velhos tempos board.😊
Thanks for putting this together, young fools don’t even know. Haha. 🙏, ✌️🖖👽🌲👌🔥😯😮💨💨💨🌎Good Journey - L7
The most groundbreaking parts in 92 were Duffys questionable part and Henrys Tim & Henry part.

what is the music on that alphonso rawls part , I need to more please help I love it

Great video! Can some one tell the name of the first so g please?
Can we still buy boards of this style from that era, identical to the ones used back then? Or not?

Name of the song on rawl’s part?

My friends and I used to watch this a lot. We were relatively isolated in suburban CT so I’d say this video got pretty good distribution for the time.
The wheels barley bigger than the bearing. Big Pants, small wheels🤙
With the "current" fasion trends you could be mistaken and think this footage is from 2024 😂
When pants were pants damnit
Aside from the fact that it’s a current trend that may be fading.. skateboarding looks wayy better in baggy clothes
I agree.

Were skateboards just made with shittier wood with no pop back then? Nobody doing highly popped tricks

Die Mode zu dieser Zeit war echt lächerlich.
Koston was the leader of everyone.
Nah Alf had better steez imo
Alf is like Austyn gillette. He think's he's stylish but really he's just wearing $150 vulc skate shoes that no one wants to buy🤣
I shake my head when someone says Koston is their favorite skater. Even in his prime he looked like a 35 yr old chubby dad. He thinks he's hilarious but really he just has a quick temper and TRIES to use humor to mask this
As he sits in his beautiful Hollywood Hills mansion with his lovely family, and you still live with your parents in their garage
Wow. You are a fkn moron. Koston in his prime was in great shape. Better than you in every way.
Koston is goated. Shake your head. His mouse part is amazing.
I guess you never saw his part in Mouse? It was groundbreaking.
@@franciscoramirez9867 Koston was never chubby. I think you're talking about your boyfriend.
little wheels and baggy clothes...worst era of skateboarding.
Agree. But as Phelps said: "We had to get small to go big."
Worst? I thought flips+slides were a new thing, but these kids were doing it in1992. Plus 180flips, boardslide+tailslide, nolly, switch, late flips. These new boards with small wheels helped to explore some new tricks that were almost impossible before.
Small wheel era.👎
"We had to get small to go big." - Jake Phelps R.I.P.
Alfonso is smooth. Underrated.
big wheels are for p*ssies
you are soft
yep it sucked. i got out before the boards got stupid skinny tho
Back when baggy pants were hip. What a time
They are hip again. Thank god.
BETTER DAYS✌️🇬🇧
