So sick to hear about all the SD locals. Didn't know Mr. Rogers was a Japanese American with all that long hair. Great interview!

I rode dirt BMX at that time and just dropping in to the pool scared the crap out of me.

loved this hope you do more interviews this was great jason is a true ripper and a super nice guy

That's some pretty good treet skating for early 90s

That was a time! As a kid I started out on BMX and then moved to a skateboard.

No fecking pronouns in those days…🙃

Jason Roger's doesn't get enough props. Every part he had was sick. I loved his mlk board. Snapped it in less than a week, but the shape and pop where perfect. His "Risk it" part was nuts. Also doesn't get enough props. Cookiehead Jenkins! Damn!

0:29 my best deck graphic I ever had as a kid.

danny way intense 13:17

Best japan grab love watching him skate ever since H street evol those were the dayz he destroyed mini ramps with fs blunt and noselunt combos that only danny way chould do at that time jason and chad knight are the most underated skaters on the planet

Jason Rogers was a bit under rated. Great on ramp and street. I had 1 or 2 of his boards including the Martin Luther King one from 92 or 93. Early 90s to mid 90s were golden period though I skated from 87 to 04, when I destroyed my back, which sucked big time.

Thank you for this loved Jason's H-Street Next Generation part watched it 100's of times, such a flashback 90's ruled Poot clothing baggy enough for yah friends...

Hey Tony, nice to hear more about Jason's journey through skateboarding, even though I competed in a few CASL contests with him and many others back in the day. At 0:30 on the timeline, I was a bit surprised to see the photo of Jason Rogers, Lori Rigsbee, Jake Piaseki and I, John Trimble. I shared that photo with Jason several years ago on Facebook and with Lori Rigsbee through direct email. I also included it in a couple of my skate documentaries. Unfortunately I learned of Jake Piaseki's passing a bit late before he got a chance to see that photo of us all on top of the vert ramp at Mike McGill's skatepark. As far as I remember, that group photo was taken as part of a talent and appearance scout / photoshoot for some Hollywood gig. Prior to that photo taken, the photographer took photos of me skating the 6 ft mini ramp, then had me go to the vert ramp for that group photo. I don't remember the name of the photographer, hoping maybe Jason or Lori might know who took our photos skating that day. I already asked both of them, they don't remember either. Maybe you might know, since you were filming back then and had connections with plenty in the industry.

Little wheels and baggy pants..... bring it back baby!!

This is amazing! I used to watch jason rogers’ risk it-part all the time. Such a great all terrain skater!

Keep doing these. The interviews are dope! ❤I’m 50 so those were my years 86-94. Still skate but those were the best days 😢

"I'm tired of Mexican food..." .. sacrilege..

These interviews are so good!

Great video 📹 i liked to ride ZRoller Boards

👍

Amazing with the inside perspective! The video would benefit with the names and places mentioned and shown being written out. The spelling of the lesser known persons and places can be almost impossible get right just from audio. I’ve watched Hokus Pokus thousands of times, but I have no idea of most of the spots names.

Oh I forgot to say something to his brother was out there skateboarding with us I think his name was Dominic

I remember back in 1989 I believe I had a launch ramp in front of my house in my neighbor's Eric and Brian when we were kids said my cousin's coming over to skateboard can we use your ramp launch ramp it was on Thanksgiving I said no problem this kid was sponsored by vision was ripping doing all these crazy launch ramp tricks and flat ground tricks and he even taught me a little bit how to do some tricks and I didn't even know it was Danny Way until later on

🥳🥳🥳

1:43 was that the first nollie tail slide on film?

This was awesome.

Girl in grey sweat shirt.... I married her ... That punt

For me the best times , after that the 90´ and 2000´s suck a lot in skateboarding...universal rules and i still ride oldskool decks with 48 and you can do whatever you want with them...Skate or Die Folks..thx for the vid, you made my day...

This is wild. Never seen anything like it. No skate park needed. Just rip on all terrain.

Lol, i was watching skate vids and getting nostalgic and was stoked to hear my band at the 40 minute mark. Good old days

Aahh the days of Matt H when he set the style for street skating. ROB.W/TEAM STREET STYLE "SAN BERNADINO "

Great music!

This was my time. In KY we would be lucky to get a copy of one of these competitions on vhs or beta and we would watch it over and over and over again. We would spend all day skating back then. Not a care in the world. What an amazing time. And how great were those guys back then?! It's ashamed that people don't skate ramps like they used to. The big half pipe competitions were amazing to watch.

My favorite place to skate back in early mid 90's Huntington High school. ED was always around and in my opinion had the best blunt variations hands down! Was there at opening day of lil sk8 park right next to the school Total mad house so my wife n i went back to the school sk8 the famous red halls stoked cause i ollied a standing metal folding chair next thing i know turned around to a cop and was fined trespassing with a$ 280.oo fine ...WTF and over in the grass people were playing Frisbee 😂....good times!!!❤️‍🔥👊

I argue he is a father to so many of us. And we don't call him dad enough, he needs a reminder. A reminder that he fathered the fatherless and the ones rebelling against their own. He is a father, dad, and so much more to so many of us. His talks also feel like an awesome talk with dad. And daddy left quite a legacy of what is possible. Is so many things in life.

RODNEY. RODNEY. RODNEY.

Tony’s son is Hawk 2ahu

That's funny that this video is 33 minutes long and it's about influential skaters. 33 is the # of influence. Did you plan that?

Of course, he's a loner but also a 7enius. He's born year of the horse which is the 7th sign in the Chinese zodiac. According to GG33, 7 is the # of the Genius but also 7 is loner energy but I'm sure alot of smart people are loners wether they're 7 lifepaths, born on the 7th, (like Jackie Chan and another horse like myself) 16 or 25th or their birthday reduces to 7 aka 7 lifepath like Stephen Hawkins.

Hell yeahh, what'a footage! ...many of those I never seen before 😮 ...What'a LEGEND a truly Ripper for sure 🔥

How many Rodneys are out there that didnt get this Promo

I wouldn't say he's the godfather of street, because he didn't skate street then. Even when he did, it sucked. I hate slow, flippy shit. He invented a lot of stuff, but it wasn't him taking it out of the contests into the world.

Aqui estou eu em São Paulo, Brazil...51 anos de idade e skate e punk rock desde sempre

RADney Mullen

"Godfather" ~his cheeks aren't puffy enough. wad up some gauze in there, Mutt, you're the "Godfather". Hype hypnosis. Skaters tend to shine as skateboarders, not literaries. . . Same call, only different ~with engineers, scientists, jocks, etc. .. Try to describe someone/something and your pencil lead breaks. . . your pen dries up . . . Go to school to learn to communicate and all they tell you is "no talking" ? well, read a book. "Godfather" *PSHHH*

My favorite skater! But hands down one of the most influential skater that ever lived 🫡🛹

Yeah, I don't know about this one. I, like anyone, am a product of my era, and I remember skating before flips and varials were stock tricks. How many here remember when Tony Hawk's program came under heavy fire? Everyone called them "circus tricks." I see a couple other old dudes here in the comments saying something similar. But I'm going to go a little further and that I don't like what skating has become now. Not really. I didn't like it already with Hawk. I didn't like Hensley doing kickflips in pools and pipes. Lance said in an interview that, back in like 80, older guys were giving them shit, saying they didn't really skate the pool, they only did "above coping tricks." I remember skating a 24-foot wide mini-ramp in the early 90s and old-heads yelling at my little tech friend (a ripper!) that he only skated 8 feet of the ramp. Watch a modern pool part: very few lines. Most skate them like quarter-pipe: hit one wall, do some amazing shit (above coping), and back to the shallow. Alva said in the Z-boys doc that what they did in 75 is break skating out of the stiff, upright, ballerina mold. That they got down, touched their boards and the terrain. They felt what they did. Flow and style over robotic precision. For what, though? We're right back where we started! Vallely said it: people look at him weird, like, "Ew! He's touching his board!" Even people giving credit to Gonz is often disingenuous. It's just an indirect way to praise Mullen. If you were there, then you know that Natas was just as instrumental as Gonz: we saw neither as any lesser than the other. And Natas didn't do tech at all; he brought the burl! His style was completely incompatible with tech. That's why no one mentions him. Mullen is the (god)father of street? Show me how he is Natas' father. Or Tommy Guerrero's, or Sean Sheffey's. Or Donger's, or John Reeves', or Pat Duffy's, or Keith Hufnagel's. Or even a lot of new guys I see. I don't remember their names, but there's a lot going against the grain: that Black kid in Germany who ollies EVERYTHING springs to mind. Forget about the outside world with AI and the Matrix; I look around at this Gen Z, Olympic bullshit skating like Yuto and Nyjah, and I swear it's the rise of the machines.

So strangely impactful and corny at the same time the footage of Rodney in a contest with the Helloween theme playing in the background. I wonder if he chose that song himself for his run, aged very well haha

The kooks at Juice Magazine keep claiming Jeff Ho is the Godfather of Skateboarding

Rodney is a certified GOAT
