After a dose of Tommy's overlooked transition skills, we cut to what he's known around the world for: Bombing hills. Ben Hatchell introduces this classic 1989 Powell Peralta part.
He owns Real skateboards and still skates! He is also a very accomplished musician! Props!!! The worlds first ever street pro by the way. Tommy G is da man!!!!!
This street scene is sick. It's not about how many flip tricks you can do, it's about just going out, thrashing, and having a good time. Stacy Peralta did such an awesome job of putting you in the action. You feel like you are there skating with Tommy.
Love all of the old footage!! I remember seeing this stuff as a kid. Tommy G. Is the man! I'm so grateful this! I'm not far from 40 years old and I skate still. I'm teaching my kids to skate. The pioneers will always be in my heart.
Dude I'm learning at 33 and can't believe all the fun I missed for not starting earlier. This an amazing sport/activity and I'm surprised it gets bad rep so often
you may have a point and you may not, tommy deck sells way past gonz. natas and gonz yes ahead of him on street skating thats why i said top 5.natas had a lot and most control of his brand if thats what your going on. h-street and hensley were awesome still couldn't touch the bones brigade lol. looks like we both are from that erA the golden age hey we all have our opinions. hell i loved h-street with ron and matt. but most contest was just about BB gonz hosi always placed high natas hurt because he was so strong and sick big tricks. to this day i wish natas skated in savannah slamma some the best street guys were in that contest back. still don't get me wrong dude love natas gonz and matty-h- street.
true indeed the main thing here between us both is we both love the sport and the guys who rep it. And fuck yeah ray flat ground was sick and no question i believe h-street took a lot of steam out of BB those dude from h-street was super sick i even like the guys from shut who i even skated with back in the day like mike kepper and shawn shaffie cool dudes. i even caught a good session with mike valley when i use to go to our open skate ring lol meaning a roller skating ring open it up to us on certain nights fun times. i even allied over the brookly banks in nyc so i got my stripes lol. i just like we both have our passion
No way! U did?! Even..!! With mike valley? Who's he..? I know of Mike Vallely though...oh and even...u EVEN, skated with...Shaffie!! A dog? Oh!!! I think even u meant u even skated with Sean sheffey...right? But I'm just glad we're both passionate duuude.
Bobby Goerdt right and still keep it together holding manuals, popping curves and grinding anything that could be hit in a flash. And with absolutely no protection.
he's really smooth. I think you could pushed himself even farther if he wanted ! like more handrails and technical stuff, and still kept his style. Love u Tommy G ! peace.
I wish Tommy Guerrero,,Rudy Johnson,,Jim Theibud,,The Gav and Henry Sanchez,,Ethan,Dune,Sheffey,Alfonso Rawls,Paulo Diaz,,Ray Barbee,,Todd Congiliere,,Jovante,,Salvadore Barbier,Colin McKay,,Ed Templeton,,Salmah Agah,Kelch,Frankie Hill,,Jason Jesse,,Jason Lee,,Sanderson from PowellPeralta,,Chet Thomas,,Willy Santos,,Daniel Castillo,Ali,,Brian Lotti,, Gino Ianucci,,Coby Carter,,Steve Berra,,Karma....I COULD KEEP GOING.....I thought of this when I saw The Gonz skating in the new Adidas video..Aside from Gonz acting like a comic relief, He is still in the game and so at emost of the dudes I mentioned, but not because they are actively skatingand they aren't too old...I'm 43 AND SKATE EVERYDAY in non winter..The only difference is the stair count is gone. but bench and curb dancing is a big part and manny's and style over function pleases me..I guess Ray Barbee and Alfonso Rawls,,tommy G and Jim Theibud not skating on video is something I miss a lot..
Yeah, but Nazism has had a surprising amount of racist influence in the past, what with Huntington Beach being a haven for both skateboarders & Neo-Nazi's & punk & biker culture's association with skateboarding(not calling those cultures inherently Nazi, but many members were), as evident by Jason Jessee. Therefore, "End Racism" was prolly more inflammatory of a notion back then, in that culture, y'know?
Jason L damn straight homey. Seems majority of skaters align themselves with leftist ideology. Everyone needs to think critically, and question everything, that's just common sense.
Anyone else trying to watch the Thrasher Classics video of Antwan Dixon's part in Baker 3, but for some reason The Ride Channel has blocked it because of copyright infringements? At least we got Tommy Guerrero.
@JuntShaker420 Everyone that doesn't listen to Gangstarr should start listening to Gangstarr. Premier's amazing beats combined with Guru's smooth voice made one of the best hip hop duos of all time.

When i die i will go to 80's California

Not only is he a good skater, but he also makes great music!
tommy doesn't get as much recognition as he should in the skate world!
And so he shouldnt. He was a nothing
Bogan Hippy he made good beats lol
@@boganhippy6826 So then what are you Scrotum Drippy?
@@ericlawson3155 probably not somebody who changed the skateboarding for at least the next 50 years (same here but I'm not a dick about it)
It’s because he was amateur level at best no matter if it was 1984 or 1998.
I used to analyze this video frame by frame. I still have the VHS tape in my collection. Great stuff.
I remember watching this when it came out and we were all blown away. It was our hype video before we went out. Man this brings back memories!
Is this song McRad or Solo Chuck Treece? And what is the bloody name of this track? Haunted me for decades!!!!
Mc rad is Chuck treece
Watched this at least 10 times a day
Amazing...... I listen to TOMMY GUERROs music but have never seen the SHRED, this was gro0o0ovy
2:21 Dude that backside 180 with such speed was death defying.
frontside*
@@SchweissfleckenPete yep frontside. Don't know why did i say that.
Love Tommy. He’s got some groovy, groovy music.
Right! So chill bro it's so gro0o0o0ovy
@@dddddddd48 Gru-V, baby
@@logan4x6 hahahhahahaha
Shreddin the same hill in Future Primitive! Loving it.
That shit STILL KILLS IT....all that style!!
Found out about this guy from the comments section of his album Soul Food Taqueria here on YT. What a legend.
Me 2
This is the best. Pure and fast.
Looks like this was all filmed in a day.
I think he got an afternoon or two for this video
All these Powell Vids are BOSS!
and now he makes AWESOME music
Skateboarding has come such a long way! Cant wait to see what the next generation has for us!!
2.47 "End Racism"
Damn right!
LOL
Top 5 street skaters of all time I kept a tommy g deck and Natas
you may have a point and you may not, tommy deck sells way past gonz. natas and gonz yes ahead of him on street skating thats why i said top 5.natas had a lot and most control of his brand if thats what your going on. h-street and hensley were awesome still couldn't touch the bones brigade lol. looks like we both are from that erA the golden age hey we all have our opinions. hell i loved h-street with ron and matt. but most contest was just about BB gonz hosi always placed high natas hurt because he was so strong and sick big tricks. to this day i wish natas skated in savannah slamma some the best street guys were in that contest back. still don't get me wrong dude love natas gonz and matty-h- street.

I wouldn’t even put Tommy in the top 20 best street skaters from years 1984-1998 .
He was amateur at best
surfing the streets
I always thought him being on Powell was a strange fit. Picture him more of a Santa Monica Airlines kinda guy.
Why two dislikes? Come on, we can feel the Skateboard history in these clips, that's genius. I don't get it, really...
The ending was thee most badass thing I've ever seen
This video is pure inspiration
that is such a cool mini ramp setup at the start, so sick!
Awesome skater and awesome musician!
this is classic.
This is where speed was the thing. Yeah anybody can do these tricks but at what rate of speed?!?
tyvek05 never dude
Bobby Goerdt right and still keep it together holding manuals, popping curves and grinding anything that could be hit in a flash. And with absolutely no protection.
Speed? LMAO what speed?
@@boganhippy6826 your mom speed
Even the video quality is classic; classic!!!
Daaaaaaaamn this just hit so hard!
thats the sickest min i've ever seen!
Now this is a classic
I Love his songs!!!
damn now thats what i call classic that things old!
That was great. Some really good skating here.
Aggressive but smooth.
Oh this is so 80’s
AMAZING
so sick back then...still so sick today
Sneaking in Liberace in a skate video. That’s wild.
"END RACISM", I like the way he thinks.
back in the day when zero fucks were given
A true San Fran shredder.
Love this video
I use skate a park called the edge that was the only way I could watch skate videos in the late 80,s
Awesome!!!
Tommy G is a Boss. I had that board. Indys.....street bones ripping it up
OMG were those, Ollies?!?!?! lol the 80s must have been good fun
Woooooooooooow! Mó Estilão PRÓPRIO!!!!
Nos anos 80 cada skatista tinha seu estilo próprio, Guerrero, Hosoi, Tony Hawk, Bill Danforth, Gator etc
This guy is the influence of Dennis Busenitz and a nation of millions who lives in SF
He was so underrated
I came here to say the complete opposite.
He was amateur at best from 1984-1998.
I had a TG deck in the 90s.
Insane
Where can I find this version of the song?
you can use offliberty.com to pull the mp3 from this vid.
@@majesticuncasual186 Try Macrad / Chuck treece
whats the title of the song?
Good old school Shit!!!
Love it!
he's really smooth. I think you could pushed himself even farther if he wanted ! like more handrails and technical stuff, and still kept his style. Love u Tommy G ! peace.
Legend!
This video is 7 years older than me :o
He looks like Kirk Hammett with that long hair
I wish Tommy Guerrero,,Rudy Johnson,,Jim Theibud,,The Gav and Henry Sanchez,,Ethan,Dune,Sheffey,Alfonso Rawls,Paulo Diaz,,Ray Barbee,,Todd Congiliere,,Jovante,,Salvadore Barbier,Colin McKay,,Ed Templeton,,Salmah Agah,Kelch,Frankie Hill,,Jason Jesse,,Jason Lee,,Sanderson from PowellPeralta,,Chet Thomas,,Willy Santos,,Daniel Castillo,Ali,,Brian Lotti,, Gino Ianucci,,Coby Carter,,Steve Berra,,Karma....I COULD KEEP GOING.....I thought of this when I saw The Gonz skating in the new Adidas video..Aside from Gonz acting like a comic relief, He is still in the game and so at emost of the dudes I mentioned, but not because they are actively skatingand they aren't too old...I'm 43 AND SKATE EVERYDAY in non winter..The only difference is the stair count is gone. but bench and curb dancing is a big part and manny's and style over function pleases me..I guess Ray Barbee and Alfonso Rawls,,tommy G and Jim Theibud not skating on video is something I miss a lot..

"End racism" damn, tommy was woke AF back in the day
Yeah, but Nazism has had a surprising amount of racist influence in the past, what with Huntington Beach being a haven for both skateboarders & Neo-Nazi's & punk & biker culture's association with skateboarding(not calling those cultures inherently Nazi, but many members were), as evident by Jason Jessee.

when youre not white you kinda have to be "woke AF"
Wow!!! That statement wasn’t racist at all🙄
Jason L damn straight homey. Seems majority of skaters align themselves with leftist ideology. Everyone needs to think critically, and question everything, that's just common sense.
About as edgy as a donut.
What’s the song?
haha someone knows there history! thumbs up
Anyone else trying to watch the Thrasher Classics video of Antwan Dixon's part in Baker 3, but for some reason The Ride Channel has blocked it because of copyright infringements?
At least we got Tommy Guerrero.
How sick is that ramp he skates at the start though?
