Fucking awesome video!! I got my first board in 1985 for my 12th. birthday, a Powell-Peralta Lance Mountain Future Primitive, w/Indy's & Powell mini-cubics, I loved that board. From the early to mid-1980's when skateboarding really took flight, it seemed like everyone that skated had a Powell-Peralta deck, usually Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, or Ray Rodriguez(Skull-n-Sword). The Bones Brigade was everywhere with Thrasher bringing the latest stories & pics. George Powell and Stacy Peralta really built something special. To me, Powell-Peralta was the best skateboard company, best team(skaters), best boards, with the best graphics, hands down!! Also with Craig Stecyk, the ads. were ahead of their time.
I watched all these skaters so much as a kid that I could tell who they were just by how they skated. Tony, technical, lanky arms flailing. Cab , smooth as butter. Hosoi with that big flair. The 80's skate scene was such a great time to be alive. I miss those simple days.
Haha I just read that after hearing the guy interview Tony. I thought, "man his voice is deeper now, but the mannerisms of his speech are exactly the same".
I was just thinking how Steve cabellero sounds exactly same now as then, and then scrolled down to see this. Haven't reached the Tony Hawk bit yet but now I'm looking forward to it.
Love these old skateboarding video s I'm 54 now still got box off my old skateboarding stuff,as I remember there's every type off krip wheels from 70 to 85 ,OG freestyle wheels, there's 3 OG type wheels ,bluebirds,Trucks there's box off them there's 15 decks + two I made in woodwork in school great woodwork teacher there's full set off protective gear had friend bring his friend check everything out come up will some stupid price told him politely go f..k himself as I've go no family I'm goin leave it to friend who used to skate with when we were 12 I used love skateboarding down hills ,half pipes, can't skateboard anymore due to injury s brain says let's go body go no chance great to see these old vides
It is dangerous thats why we love it till death! Its the passion of being on top of that board... Not many people know that feel and never will understand it
My first board was a Jeff Grosso & I was so proud of it. Still today these guys are childhood-heroes for me! 🛹✊🏼🤙🏼‼️ Thx for uploading this video!!! =]
38 this month and still got a board, still love to get the air flowing without walking :D Anyone here regular stance? Push with right foot. Every skater I met was goofy.
I always wanted to skate a bowl. I was born in 85- I started skating in 92, 93, more seriously in the later 90s. We didn't have bowls in NY where I lived. You skated street stuff.
Fun to watch how many 'Rock-Slide&Rolls' were pulled by these skaters! I did my first one in June, 1980, on my Kryptonics Foamcore deck (had p-Tex on the base, no rails yet/ever), totally by accident by coming into a corner of a Bowl, with too much speed, and trying a Rock&Roll. Mind, you, being from Vermont, I didn't get to Skate Vert much, but I was, the Stoked to have pulled a 'Trick' no one else had (yet) claimed. I expect that others did it, too, b4 me, but, I didn't hear of such in my very-short visits out West. FF a few years, and, Yup, they're doing that as part of their routines. Progress; It's evolution on FF! "PSR"
Vision put some of these out on DVD awhile back. It was a set. When I saw it, I almost had a heart attack. You might still find it. But then again a lot is right here for you! :)
I had all the Bones Brigade videos and Tony Hawks second board by Powell & Peralta (Hawk Skull). Great stuff. The Search for Animal Chin came out in 88.
I say being a pro back then was harder than now. Now you get way more coverage and more sponsors. Its not about contests anymore its about video parts only. Now you might skate against a few people in contests, but alot of the pros dont even show up. Back then you knew you had to skate against Hosoi, Hawk, Losi, Ventura, Gator, Etc. They were at every contest.
Today you have to compete with every single kid from all over the world and they all have an HD camera on them 24/7. Back then only guys from that one tiny area were pro. Those pools and vert ramps were extremely rare. Today it's street and street is everywhere. It's way, way, way harder now.
@@darklordixor Yup. I was all sponsored and cool back in the day. I ripped my ankle apart in 2004 and that ended my career. Just in time. By 2006/7 the skating had taken a giant leap and I wouldn't have been able to keep up so I would've been toast anyway. Add social media to it? Fuhgetaboutit.
@@JonnyDIY Yea. That took the most time but it’s perfect. I looked at many replicas on Google Images but they don’t compare. Such an underrated cult classic. In the first half pipe scene you catch a glimpse of a young blonde hair’d Ed Templeton.
@@BLASTER0913 That's awesome. Ohh wow no way Ed's in it cool. We always thought was so cool the Chili Peppers were in it too. My brother and I rented that movie at the local video store so often I think we ended up finding a copy to buy 😄
Yuck87 Holy shit, you’re right! I never took a good look at it. I always had it in my mind as a Tracker ‘The Gnarly Truck Company’ sticker that had been torn off ; )
Powell was just 2 main stream...even though my first board was a full size Tony Hawk with venture trucks and vision shredders wheels & German bearings 100 bucks all ready put together hahaha I was a little bumbed out but my Dad bought it 4 me as a surprise bless his heart!!!when I was 10 years old hahaha Love You Dad...sorry but I got a new deck that month a mini Christian Hosoi street model mom got 4 me & traded the Tony Hawk 4 a 10speed that I gave 2 my sister jenny ❤ U ALL Andreason Family d.r.a.😜
So cool to see all the. Ha ha. Old pro's. My heroes from junior high years. Man we skated every day!! Best years of my life. I want to go BACK!! It was so rad!!
These 'kids' were so freakin talented. That original combi is no joke!!! They didn't have videos, dvd's, youtube, etc to learn from. They had a couple of older crew in a couple of parks, the rest they figured out for themselves within a hobby that wasn't even cool. They didn't give a fuck, they just wanted to skate. Respek
I remember begging my mum to buy me a black and a red pair of chucks so I could do the Jeff grosso look lol, she didn't, but I swapped one shoe with a mate.
And like phelps said, they would go bust their ankles in that pool for $50. You couldnt get any of these pros now a days unless you had a million dollar street course and another million for the prize.

I had three of those boards. They were the best. I still have one in decent shape.

He was such a legend.

Rip Jeff Grosso. Legend!
What happened t9 him
@@User_92020died from fentanil overdose in 2020.
Random in my suggested videos. I rode here (Pipeline in Upland) as a kid. Many, many summer days spent there. Loved that park!

hearing tony say the pool is hard because it has a lot of vert....it's just so...as the kids say...chef's kiss.
I was in 3rd grade man time flies lifes too short
My first board was a Jeff Grosso & I was so proud of it. Still today these guys are childhood-heroes for me! 🛹✊🏼🤙🏼‼️
Thx for uploading this video!!! =]
And they all look exactly the same, amazing!
Man I miss this park. Pipeline in Upland was awesome. I still got a chunk of the coping from this pool, The Combi
Boy rockin the 38s, that's authentic skate history for ya.
This is amazing. Grosso skating to 'Detroit Rock City' is unbeatable.
38 this month and still got a board, still love to get the air flowing without walking :D Anyone here regular stance? Push with right foot. Every skater I met was goofy.
@john can I grab a b please Bob? ...
Goofy all the way!!
Regular here, definitely agree. None of my friends skate regular
Regular here too. It really does seem like the rarer of stances doesn’t it?
I'm regular, but my brother was goofy. We grew up skating at same time 🤙
I always wanted to skate a bowl. I was born in 85- I started skating in 92, 93, more seriously in the later 90s. We didn't have bowls in NY where I lived. You skated street stuff.
You're only 34. You should skate again
@@gregory7958 34 is still young. I'm still at it in my mid 40s and I still have a few years left in me.
I bet they all hated these competitions, skateboarding is not about who's best, it's about having fun.
This is what kids should be watching

Oh to be able to go back to 1985 with some Bagel Bites
Quality on these videos are great.
Probably one of the gnarliest things ever built to skate
Vision put some of these out on DVD awhile back. It was a set. When I saw it, I almost had a heart attack. You might still find it. But then again a lot is right here for you! :)
So awesome! Those we're the best days
are you u kidding me, mcgill and hosoi are the ones who showed hot to skate that pool and air was everywhere
thanks for posting this , takes me back
Christian kicked ass , dude was silky smooth and clean .
Who the heck was judging the contest?! Hosoi shredded it & even the crowd knew it!
That's what I'm saying. There must have been some sort of rigging hosoi is on a different level than everyone else in all these competitions
Fausto RIP and Eric RIP - they saved skateboarding so you all can have it the way it is now.
Golden age stuff!
i love how the bowl looks just like vans combi or vice versa
yo that pool is fucking gnarly its like a vert wall pool damnn
Carlsbad Pipelines sticker on the helmet! Now that is G! Hell ya Tony
neat to see Stacy there; diff stage in life after the Dogtown era
BONES BRAGADE!!! VISION STREET WEAR, were the days
Tony Hawk really is the Babe Ruth of skateboarding 🛹
When I skateboarded in high school I was considered a loser and outsider,now if you skateboard in high school you're cool.
I heard from highly reliable sources that the Bones Brigade are still searching for the man, the myth, the legend... Animal Chin.
Have you seen him?
I had all the Bones Brigade videos and Tony Hawks second board by Powell & Peralta (Hawk Skull). Great stuff. The Search for Animal Chin came out in 88.
Haha that was one of my Brother and mines favorite video to watch. Was actually hard to find and hunt down in the early 90s 😄
This was the glory days of skating . It just doesnt seem like it used to
THANK YOU!!!
if Jeff grosso was in the pro contest he would of won
Would've*
I remember wearing G&S and Surfers Alliance in 1988 to attend 7th grade in #PuertoRico
im rewatch now
Dumb question I'm sure but what's the name of the 2nd song Tony skateboarded to?
@7:04 ist that natas in the green and sheffey?
the year i was born...lol
Good session

did you work with argus?
Hawk man as a kid
@Randyh9 thank you.i used to have this video.looks like millers slam spooked the rest of the skaters and their runs.
It seems like back in the day everyone's stance was goofy.
My stance was Goofy when I used to skate.
Grosso❤️
Christian Hosoi's run was way better he got robbed by the judges.
lang1031 I think the crowd clearly noticed that robbery as well.
@@jeffmays7192 you are so right on man
Samhain Sticker on the back of grossos helmet=THE SHIT
There is a video of Samhain performing from LA, and Grosso is visible is in the audience.
@1:45 is Hawk sporting a carlsbad pipes sticker?
Yuck87 Holy shit, you’re right! I never took a good look at it.
I always had it in my mind as a Tracker ‘The Gnarly Truck Company’ sticker that had been torn off ; )

is this really 1985 at 1:39 ?
someday we're going to get old...
Does anyone know the song that begin at 5:35 during Mcgill run ?
mathieugielen
Song - pulse
Band- psychedelic furs
what is the name of the song when jeff gross does his run??
i think it is Kiss detroit rock city
i looked it up, and yes it is! thank you soooo much!!
Np buddy
Did Eddie Reategui just punk Grosso???
Benjamin Morgan ...No more bad future!
Ha! I went to high school with Eric Jueden 5:15! Clairmont High. I guess he never went pro. Am for G&S
Grosso rules. MOTHRA!!!
No concave on those boards no fish tail boards changed so fast then by 91 every thing was so different wheels not for the better crazy.
Grosso died today :(
@voltaire2001 Toy Dolls - She Goes To Finos :) good catch
my uncle michael skated back den mang
Jesus loves you he suffered the worst punishment to forgive are sins we all have sin cause we are human ask Jesus for help not to sin again
Tony looks and sounds the same.
Everybody got fat in the late 90s and onward with the widespread use of GMO's and with the more and more foods processed with chemical additives.
Can anyone name a skater from those days that left Powell Peralta and was genuinely better off for it
Dear 1985, please bring me back. I don't want to be here anymore, I want to come home.
Thank you,
You need to invent the flux capacitor first, then you're set.

Right on man
Save a seat for me
Mike Dixon i deleted Facebook and Instagram that helped a Bit..
I feel ya ..
So cool to see all the. Ha ha. Old pro's. My heroes from junior high years. Man we skated every day!! Best years of my life. I want to go BACK!! It was so rad!!

The 80s and 90s damn I miss those times
The world has gotten progressively worse since this contest.
Smart interview by Tony Hawk to some dumb questions. He had it together even that young.
Dig the kid with the feathered mullet and Ratt shirt at 6:53... I think we all went to school with that kid.
Damn, Hawk was so focused and mature for a kid his age. You just knew that he would shine very early on.
He was a dweeb
Still is
The music the attitude the lack of technology. It’s the perfect combo. And today we aren’t exactly progressing in good ways anymore.
as predicted by the unabomber
Healthcare is much better than the 80’s. Technology is keeping the world connected almost instantly. Quality of life and education has improved.
@@protectwhatisours6895 education has not improved at all. its full of ultra left wing ideology.
I was there!!
I used to live in badlands and still go there bout every month cause i moved , but man i wish i was a teen in the 80’s
Really, who gave this a "thumbs down"?
Some cop.
Security guards.
19 freestyle skaters
those who saw the desimals

Not sure how the you tube gods got me here?🤷🏽♂️but thanks.
That Combi Was Epic. Steep & Deep!
Eddie Reategui videobombing Grosso's interview is entertaining.
I remember begging my mum to buy me a black and a red pair of chucks so I could do the Jeff grosso look lol, she didn't, but I swapped one shoe with a mate.
Tony has a Carlsbad Pipelines surf shop sticker on his helmet. That place is still in business.
3:27 that girl was perfect; hardly any makeup , perfect bone structure….People we’re better looking back in the day
And like phelps said, they would go bust their ankles in that pool for $50. You couldnt get any of these pros now a days unless you had a million dollar street course and another million for the prize.
Grosso's mismatched Chucks was a cool touch.
I love it. I often do that and I wish more people would too
6:50 Oh, the feathered hair and Ratt shirt to boot...bang your head brah!
