Hey whupper snappers. Almost all these tricks we're just invented at the time on huge boards with rails and hardly any nose. Skating alot back then and trying to keep up with the constant evolution of tricks. Late eighties-early nineties was a strange time skateboarding. It died mainstream, went underground, and became ridiculously tech. Small wheels, gigantic pants. Finally returned to not being whack but went mainstream thanks to E$PN, lamestream. Og's kept rippin'. 53, still rolling
He was the last of the old school surf-stylers, baby! Think of the ground as water! All jokes aside, frankie was really the first to go huge...not the first to do a hand rail, but the first to do a GIGANTIC f’n handrail, and THEE first really, to do gaps, gaps of any significance, hes a legend and he changed the game; now, a lot of ppl, even back then werent crazy about his, at times, ultra-sketchiness, but the other pros lived him, cuz he had a crazy, disjointed way of talking, guy mariano loved his stories, snd he had dinner with gonz snd jason lee in san francisco, and they tried to convince him to join the blind team, but he didnt want to be disloyal to powell (even tho they f’ed him over later down the road)....anyway, i always admired his will,to,stick,it out until the end, haha....and it just occurred to me that u may be 40 years old and know ALL of this, ur just seeing this vid for the firstbtime, or the first time in s long time, sorry if so, i just assumed youd never heard of him, idk why....and yeah, those are some questionable slo-mos, lolololololol, lmao!
Hot batch was half slo mo 😆 .. i remember i tried to get on powell back then just before this. and my video was slo mo alot 😂 i hope they didn't get the idea from my tape 😅
you don't understand how unpopular skating was, skating after the 1980's nobody skated, here in chicago a city with millions of people there were maybe 10 skaters. Skating almost went the way of the dodo bird.
This video was 1)poorly edited, and 2) including some many tricks that were new at the time, and most of the people who were going them first were bot achieving perfection on them yet, it was a new style.
Most sketchy landings in any pro part, EVER. Having said that, Frankie Hill was a groundbreaking destroyer and these clips are still a pleasure to watch!
