In hindsight, maybe that Mike V tune isn’t too bad.
Seem to remember a santa cruz vid (youtube) where some dude does like 100-something tricks in a row without bailing at a little concrete park. Anyone remember who this was? I did do a search for it. It’s not the recent ‘how many ledge tricks can this guy do’, it was like a year or two old I think
Ryan Lay I think
Found it but this might be a better version…

People may have already seen this, but the 1977 Nationwide piece on skateboarding at South Bank just got uploaded to the BBC Archive YouTube channel.

I started in 1986 and I thought of the 70s as the stone age! Flares, narrow decks, no ollies…couldn’t even imagine how life would have been way back then from my 80s vantage point.
Crazy to think it was less than a decade away. Barely think I’d notice if I went to sleep tonight and woke up in 2014.

Yeah. A skate photo (or video) from 1989 compared to one from 1993 is completely different in every possible way, but a photo from 2019 could run in a new magazine today and nobody would suspect a thing.

Frankie is a local/national celeb here. I love how he openly disses the people standing next to him while they just grin and bear it.

I’m now imagining a mid-70s BBC piece on Jake Snelling.

Enjoyed it! He’s pretty reckless.
Now i’m sure there has been talk of how modern Mariano is stinking and I would partly agree, I wasn’t into the flared, sweet parts particularly, maybe the music was partly the reason but this popped up so I watched it.
Of course, lots of gimmicky stuff but just take it in, the tech, the speed, his age! a year older than me and doing that. I have degraded into barely being able to pop. He’s incredible really.
