tnp n seer's Skate board vid thread.. lol

<< < (2/2)

tnp:
 Yep, have it on VHS (Dogtown...). What impresses everyone I've talked to about it is the amount of footage they have from that era. That guy must have been walking around with a video camera every single time he went out.

Oh yeah, 6 is Ban This (love the sequence with Pablo Diaz etc.)

Future Primitive had to tide me over til Animal Chin, and Animal Chin had to tide me over til Public Domain. Because Future Primitive was the most recent one out when I got into skating.

It took me so long to learn kickflips that I learned it on a Ray Barbee board (and you know Powell/Peralta loved to keep their people amateurs for years).

peace,

i'm re-learning kickflips right now.. just about had them kinda sorted oct last year before i smacked my hip on a mini-ramp.. was just getting into heel flips n that back then.... woe :(
landed a couple triple flips back in the day

i had a barbee board once, the one with the rag doll and the playing cards





btw.. todays current 'fave' skate vid with folx around here is transworlds 'in bloom' and one called 'pj ladd's wonderful horrible life' snatch from kazaa if ya  curious ;)   - some really horrible slams in the pj ladd's one btw

tnp:
Yup that's the one...had a Caballero board, Barbee, Vallely, Matt Hensley, Jason Lee (isn't he an actor now?) Chris Miller on Schmitt Stix board. It was so difficult to learn kickflips that I couldn't do it moving, I had to go somewhere stationary and learn. Finally learned to kick the right foot out forward instead of down like I was (cause I skated goofy footed).

Holy shit, just realized the time (I have to go mail a certain Warren G radio interview to someone  ;))

peace,
tnp

Don Seer:
haha yeah.. pz...

flips... out not down ;) .. i actually learned to do it down (used to slam it really hard) before i learned to do it 'out' and then catch them as its coming up. crazy huh!... i can still ollie pretty damn high.. takes 10 mins to get that back sweet as hell :)
was getting good on the mini ramp till i twatted my hip on one i'd never been on before...
