I wore out this VHS tape and this video got me into all the bands, too. This video and Strange Notes were my life in 1988, stuck in a little town in RI with a quarter pipe in my yard.
It's crazy how different generations of skaters have some things in common, and how certain brands, mags, and content span the ages, I'm an early 2000s-2010 skate kid and strange notes was still going strong. some how my friends and I also got into watching older videos from the 80s and 90s because we thought the street parts were more do-able and relatable I guess? haha anyways fucking rad video
I absolutely wore out the VHS of this and Public Domain when they came out. One of they most epic skate video soundtracks out there!!! -“Yeeeah! Jeff Grosso….ripping, alright!!!”. RIP bro.
Same here! I got SoF and PD the same day. We watched both movies back to back. We left PD as the "dessert" because someone had told us that Vallely's part was legendary. However, it was Natas who stole the show that evening back in 1989...
I used to love that board I went through like 3 of them, then I started riding that vallely with the elephant by powell when it came out, it had a better nose kick.
@@jonc3024 that Natas was the last OG board I owned before we all went twin kick. I had a superslick Vallely with the animals and later I remember having a Natas board with like a robot chick or something on it. Graphics on the boards starting meaning less and less as I got better and realized I was gonna wipe them off in a few days anyways.
Jeff Grosso was my first proper deck, the Coca Cola one in black. Ahhhh back when skateboards had noses and tails and were like guitars on wheels. Still, after that, I went bigger with the Hosoi, then my first 'double tail' board Mike Vallaley SMA. I was never any good, but by fuck did I enjoy every second of it.
I had this video in 1989 and watched all day. Like a bible. One day a guy borrowed it from me. Never got it back. I casually bumped into the guy in the subway like in the 2000s and confronted him. His answer: "I sold it. For a lot of money in eBay". Amazingly, he was the grand-son of a former president in my country -- he actually had the same first and last name as the president. Crook. But at least he was into skateboarding. True story.

Natas is obviously the highlight but I love Jason's part too... just rippin'. The music (Minutemen, Blast and Black Flag), everything. I just saw this as experimental stuff. Eye-opener back then.
My first bootleg VHS skating vid which ultimately led to my first pro deck. The Natas with the panther graffic. To go from a board where you had to screw off a plastic bubble on the tail to be able to ollie to IT was sublime.
This is a great choice to be the first one. The first thing I saw was the Thrashin movie. I couldn't get a pro deck where I lived, so the only one I had was with that plastic bubble. Never got into it properly because of it. Too old now to get good at it.
I was so in love with this VHS and the local skate shop couldn't sell it, they finally agreed to let me take my VHS reader and record it from the shop 😅
Definitely one of my favorite 🛹-Videos ever‼️ Thanks for uploading it.

I'd forgotten what great music there was in this: loads of Black Flag, Minutemen, Sonic Youth, even Descendents! 🤘😃 Oh, and I never ever noticed the Neil Blender towel hanging in the cell before!😄
Many fond youthful memories from this bonanza of skateboarding feats and comedic marvels! Thank you to the Americans that built a great company and then they sent they sent all the manufacturing to China.
Fantastic video! Loved it as a kid on VHS. The quality of this is really good. The amount of monetization by the uploader is insane! Download the video and skip the six thousands ads! Talk about overboard!!!
first park i ever hit, terrible, then a year later moms took us to martinez skatepark then we rode that for another year before going to vans! i really wish they couldve kept that park, its a little piece of history and a great place for little kids on scooters to play
Whooaaa , an 1hr10min epic OG skate vid, siick!! This is a skateboarding history lesson. Looks like this has some skateboarding 1st's...fs tail slides, bs boardslide on a handrail. I see now that this is where Flip Extremely Sorry got the idea for claymation.
Natas's part is the best street video part in sk8ing history it really supercharged every street skater that was dedicated strictly street at the time to bust, create and kill it everywhere!!! weirdest thing is My friend Shaun and I were sitting looking at a fire hydrant think about how to spin on it when Weasel and Greg came up and said if think that come watch this video we just got it came out this week I just fell backwards when I saw Natas spin the Hydrant
