Forget Rune glifberg and Tom penny. Did anyone see Alex mouls backside noseblunt 360 shove out 540 on a mini ramp or Ollie late flip that s*** was insane!!!
I was fortunate enough to travel over to UK in August 93 and go watch the Radlands comp. I think that was the first year people took notice of Tom Penny. I remember being blown away seeing all my favorite pros skating, especially in another country, but Tom got a lot of attention for his massive switch frontside flips and everything else. Theres some footy of the comp in 411VM #2 I believe.
I believe people were taking notice before this. Here's the story. I'm from England, but in summer 92 I was at world champs in munster, Germany. I'm skating outside arena on a few ramps street course thing, and I notice a fair sized mini ramp. I go over to skate it, as Tom penny turns up. I already knew how good he was so thought, here we go, this will be funny. People were like, who the hell is this little kid. Within 2 minutes their jaws were on the floor. Remember, in 92 there was new tricks and new variations on old tricks. Late shove its, late flips, Nollie stuff, switch. All fairly new to most skaters waiting for weeks for the latest footage on video. It was insane the consistency, but hard tricks. If u check out his footage on the shop vid, rollersnakes 720. It's mini ramp from the same time in 92. Give u an idea .
This is great! 1993 brings back so many memories. That is the year i started skating and the summer i lost my virginity.....not sure which was more satisfying.....i guess skateboarding was more satisfying....i was for sure a better skater than i was a sexer.... At least that is what she told me....damn.
its so god damn crazy how good these guys were.. im so glad this video exists.. this is like the fuckin core of the flip team... penny, rowley, mould, glifberg... none of this shit you can teach.. they all just had a flow.. watching this and then watching other shit makes me baffled how much the sport has evolved.. skaters/normal douche canoes try to emulate how fuckin cool these guys were and dress like them and shit. we all will never be as cool as their style as they skated.. im not forgetting rodney trust me.. but this was like almost "punk" skating.. a little after gonz and shit..
yep.. crazy how its evolved.. flip team laid a lot of foundations.. after mullen and all the street techy stuff.. but flip created their own shit.. awesome all around
LupinTheThird31 FUCK the small wheels, I remember buying them at 35mm and they lasted a week if that. I still got stoopid giant pants put away somewhere though
Let the lord jesus christ into your sole and except the flip in flip I had to show the brits a thing or two when they arrived at Simons, me johnno Alex and i think rosie had to sit them down and explain the method and with a few days as far as I can remember they were flipping in and outta shit like little flippers, I think that's eventually where they got the name for flip skateboards all because of me and the lads on the quay...dont mention it..👌
Penny skating mini ramps to biggie smalls with xxxl pants, tiny wheels and adidas. So good. The 90s was a great era in skateboarding

Skateboarding with no monster energy, red bull, grizzly, gopro, or street league stickers?
Shit isn't real
What some skaters would refer to as the 'glory days' were that shit was not involved. When skateboarding was skateboarding

I remember him outside an asr show in san Diego in 38 degrees in a over sized hoodie and beanie on with hood up.. 😅😅😅
Alex Moul! a Backside Noseblunt Nollie Bigspin out and a Backside 540 ollie on a mini ramp? in '93? mind=💥
Holy shit, never thought I'd see Hillstreet stuff on Ride Channel
Michael Sheridan bigtime :)
alex is such a styler ... met him in munster 92 .... totally cool and chill
I was eleven, and dressed just like Penny. I can't believe we used to wear that shit. Haha.
Yes, the classic Flip lineup!
alex moul so underated
I think I'm most impressed with how well Rune pumps and maintains speed with such small wheels.
Skateboarders used to be so awesome!

***** SEXER!
Nice one, man. I was a skater long before I was a sexer ... and by the looks of it will long after, too!
Getting to Simon's from o Connell bridge down the south quays was a gauntlet run,many decks ended up in the liffey
its so god damn crazy how good these guys were.. im so glad this video exists.. this is like the fuckin core of the flip team... penny, rowley, mould, glifberg... none of this shit you can teach.. they all just had a flow.. watching this and then watching other shit makes me baffled how much the sport has evolved.. skaters/normal douche canoes try to emulate how fuckin cool these guys were and dress like them and shit. we all will never be as cool as their style as they skated.. im not forgetting rodney trust me.. but this was like almost "punk" skating.. a little after gonz and shit..
did alex moul just do a 540 on the mini ramp?
yep.. crazy how its evolved.. flip team laid a lot of foundations.. after mullen and all the street techy stuff.. but flip created their own shit.. awesome all around
Deathbox was a sick brand. Spirit of the blitz was the shit at the time.
Damn! Totally brought me back to my youth :-) fucking epic!
I miss big pants small wheel those were some fun times 93 till infinity!
LupinTheThird31 FUCK the small wheels, I remember buying them at 35mm and they lasted a week if that. I still got stoopid giant pants put away somewhere though
LupinTheThird31 everytime I see '93, that song stays in my head for days.
93 til infinity
This is how we chill from 93 til..
this was so fucking sick
Rune Glifberg he's from Copenhagen, Denmark... and apparently he is a 'ramp champ'
Best of the classics
OGs
sick!
Fuckeeng Rune slaying! !!!
rune you're a mad man!!!
Bs noseblunt bigspin in 93 crazy
mike told me he had this footage when deathbox skated in hill street dublin
Big mike?
French Fred disliked this video.
SeeJ R why?
I was yet a precum when they were already fuckin killin it
Alex Moul, with a little bit better style and full support of his companies, completely motivated, moving to the US... He would have been the a-bomb.
Yeah, but some of us had raves to go to. It was a fine balance
best style sk8in in the "dark era" .... so street on all edges
It's always rad when you find the orders tapes and put em out. Especially when it's the og flip team. Peep my channel for some more old school Footy.
Tom the grandmaster.
late shuvs need to make a comeback
does anyone know where or what those pants are called? i think thats how ill mke my name in skateboarding
Damn, those small ass wheels really slowed you down.
Remember PIPE'S they were jeans that were fucking huge!! lol
when boards were egg shaped and no less then 8.75! talk about landing room!
Holy shit thoes wheels are barley bigger than the berrings
Long basketball shorts!
That coping sounds like an accident waiting to happen!
those wheels tho
Glifberg is a boss
The only stain on that era will be the ridiculous clothing. No apologies on that.
First comment YES !
first too like
Everybody was wearing those pants cause of Rodney Mullen
I skated beck then and there was no trick in and trick out to my knowledge. I call fake.
92/93 was 100% when 'trick in/out' became a thing and Alex Moul was a pioneer of it in the UK
I was there it happened
