@skeetvanderchuck1716 2 года назад

True Story: I got to skate the combi back in the day. SALBA, Mike Smith, and Chris Miller were there. Salba let me cut in. Then took a look at my board to make sure it was set up right. He looked at the Indy's and said, "You know what's good about Indy's? You can grind them right down to the axle." And then he asked me what was all over them, obviously candle wax right, and said, "If you need wax then you're not going fast enough." True words.

@aaronalmeda4620 2 года назад

Says the guy who has a song written about him called “Salba sauce”… 🙄

@Rand_al_Thor372 2 года назад

Idgaf how fast you go, you're not gonna stand up on a 20 ft frontside tailslide on raw concrete. Wax makes things possible that simply aren't feasible without it. Try kicking a long ass front lip to smith on a raw curb and the best of luck to you.

@Sellbow 2 года назад

As a heavy skater, like 250 plus pounds yeah you need wax. Lol

@RicoG213 2 года назад

i'm 47 years old. I still skate. and Salba is in inspiration to this day for his persistence. Also, I was little kid in late 80's and I skated at Pipeline Upland. Salba and his crew were fuckin intimidating. they snaked little kids' runs all day ! I Saw Chris Miller skate, there and Schroeder, but Salba and Mickey were the most dialed in to that place, if you saw them skate doubles it was a treat. the Combi took me out so many times. It was deep, slippery, lumpy and fast. my brother fractured his wrist there. I got Pitched out of the full pipe from 9'o clock to flat bottom so many times. I'm a pool rider forged from Pipeline. That is why i can ride anything to this day. I'm carving high and fast transition anyday, because I leaned at the gnarliest park in the west. Pipeline was the Mecca at the time. and I was there. I still remember the smell of the shop, the sweaty rental pads, and the perfume the girls behind the counter would wear to mask that funk !

@yoyoz333 2 года назад

Fantastic story teller. I could listen to 10 more hours of him talking.

@CIWise 2 года назад

Yes! I haven't even watched a second yet, but: "YES!!!" I'm from the mid- to late 80s. Salba is like some supernatural being to me. He's like Chronos, Time, from Greek mythology. He's not an Olympian god like Hawk or Hosoi; he is Titan: one of the mysterious, uncontrollable elemental forces of nature that preceded and gave birth to the Olympians. In my 13 year-old mind, Salba would have beaten to death with his bare hands any of those 80s pros (including Mike V.). The only people who ranked higher than Salba to me back then were Jay Adams and Duane Peters: because, in the late 80s, people still talked about in almost reverent tones, but they were almost never seen anymore. So they were like the Loch Ness Monster or something. Quickly: anyone remember Wheels of Fire when they drew on the film with those colored pencils and Salba was with Micke in that bowl in the desert? Remember Salba standing in the middle of the bowl kind of undulating himself with the fire shooting up from his hands? I just can't explain what that did to me back then. If I weren't already a man of faith, I'd probably worship Salba.

@carolthornton8851 2 года назад

My best to Salba! Man, it was unbelievable growing up when we did, we had so much freedom, went pretty much wherever we could. It was ALWAYS a damn mission, ya know? I mean, if we weren't done, I mean DONE by the end of it, we hadn't been doing it right! Always going hard, usually short of breaking the law, but definitely not always! Good times, a decent price to have paid, now, being old, at 58.

@Cegros 2 года назад

I was just thinking that. I was born in 93, and even I had a vastly different experience in my developmental years than my siblings born just 4-5 years after me. You guys had the real freedom though. My friends and I had fun and our own exhausting missions though :)

I’ve heard of this guy since I started skating but have never seen or heard him talk. This interview was great and I’m a fan. Seems like an intelligent person who does what he wants and is ridiculously good at guitar.

@ianeaston4639 2 года назад

great interview. Really liked Salba’s & his stories. I feel he was a little more candid & shared more details than some of the other legends. i remember reading the article about the group getting arrested in Texas in an old Thrasher, back when the pages were newsprint. overall great interview

Watching this while getting dressed to go to the local skatepark and just put a front print t-shirt on backwards because watching this made me feel like a kid in the 80s again when every shirt was a back print. Power of suggestion? Creeping dementia? Who cares, I'm going skating.

@morningcoffeeatthebowl3456 2 года назад

I am learning something awesome about Salba. Using football as a way to let out aggression. I was skating in 1984, no football until 1990ish. I also made varsity as a freshman in 1993. My best skating is from 1989ish-2008ish, roughly 11y/o-30. Those high school coaches wanted me to stop skateboarding. LOL. I quit football with 3 scholarship offers, to go to a small expensive fine arts school. lol! Never finished. Still Skating.
