- This is the film that actually got me into skateboarding in the middle 70's. This is a frame-by-frame transfer from an original print and contains the "missing minutes" from the poor super 8 print that I used in the past.
California looked like a boatload of fun in 70s.
So much fun back then: Waterskiing, surfboards got shorter, lighter and twin-fins. Motocross was becoming popular and everyone rode mini bikes and dirt bikes. Skateboarding was growing fast with the evolution of urethane wheels (the smell was intoxicating), then wider, lighter boards and empty pools, then parks and ramps. Great time to be a kid in So Cal.
It was! Almost forgot about the generous neighbors who let us kids use their empty pools to skate in....fun
It absolutely was.
A whole swagload of fun and titillation!!!
Depends where you lived and how you were raised.
I’m amazed by the shapes of the Californian pools. I’ve never seen anything like them here in Australia. Even when our pools are oval or kidney shaped they still had vertical sides and flat bottoms.
Oh man, I feel your pain. Skating pools was the best!!
Those California pools are something else. They have better transitions than most skateparks.
Feel your pain as a Brit; me and my mates did get into a disused pool once but it had the vertical sides and those little blue tiles all over.. wasn't good lol California seemed like some magical land even in the 80s, where everything was built to skate on.
Even in 1976 skate vids had wAcKy HiJinKs in them 😂 - that hippy jump & that 360 are phenomenal!
Love these videos - almost 50 years of skateboarding fun like this. Thanks for the thane, George.
Thank you for helping to preserve the rich history of skate culture!
The gorilla grip ,holding the board with their toes ,was pretty sick!
I was 6 when this film was made and my best friends brother was alot older than us but he was into Skateboarding then and I remember how cool he was .I also remember kryptonics and his Tony Alva board.thanks for video.
Adam Weston
Cool! I still have a set of Red Kryptonics from way back, 1980 approx!
I was 8 when skateboarding started in the UK me and my mate had loads of fun. we didn't have a clue of what to do and kept falling off whenever we rode over a small stone but we loved it... could not imagine skateboarding with no shoes on wow broken toes all the way.. great footage, takes me back ...
It was the same for me - I´m almost 57 years now but I remember it very well how it was during the 70´s...
I'm 54 and have just not long ago put a board together..never thought that after so long I'd be skating again but here we are..lovin it!!..and lovin the star track kryptonics..ah when I was a boy!!.. 😂 🤣
SKateboard magazine had ads for plastic hooks you could mount on top of the board, that you could fit your feet under and lift the board up. We were too cheap, and wrapped a bicycle inner tube around the middle of the board and used that to jump stuff.
"Sky Hooks"
I remember the ads and wonder why these are not around?
wow, beautiful. thank you for your work and diligence and putting so many, otherwise lost, gems on youtube. appreciate it.
wonderpulp Thanks!
Thanks !
Thank you YELLOW SHIRT!!!!!
I remember seeing this movie as a kid back at the beginning of the 80s or the end of the 70s. I saw it on 16mm film reel projected on the wall. This movie is a time machine for me. Wow !
Gorilla grip! My toes hurt just watching that!
This used to air early Sunday mornings in my neck of the woods. I can still taste the crunch Berrys. After, I'd run out side find a creek or construction sight and create adventures with my Major Matt Mason. Then I would fine tune my Schwinn (grease the crank and chain and tighten the bolts so the banana seat wouldn't rattle) and skate the rest of the day away. That was until I layed my eyes on the first arcade game.
But lol, you had to still get out side to do that way back then.
- Banana seat!!!

The good days....
i came for the 70's chick
Glyphosate free blood running through her veins...The "GOOD OLD TIMES" ;_)
@@19Marc79 Back when California was awesome.
My hope and wish is for the good people of California to clean her up. California has been used and abused, enough is enough already, our government is sitting on it's hands idle. My question is how many of the homeless people are the mentally ill that need medical treatment? Since when do we stop caring for our people and cast them aside into the street and how and why is this occuring? Is California to become third world? At this rate it would appear that way. There has to be a solution for this maddnes, how can we eradicate drugs in this country once and for all? Needless on the streets in San Francisco!? It's a zombie horror show for real.
@@epasternak4206 There were lots of slums in Cali in the seventies. There will always be homeless people and drug addicts in big cities. Nothing is changed...
came for the skate boarding... stayed for the chick
I was 11 at this time and I was skating for 3 years.
Lived it, breathed it, slept it, shredded it - Good times way back when...
Way of life !! surfboard under the arm flying downhill to beach
Same...
Mid to late 70s skateboards with YoYo, Roadrider ,UFO and Bones were the wheels of choose...
- I can't love this enough!!!
It's a shame the magic board never caught on with chickens and one-legged people.
People were so raw back then
yeah and you did your thing, times were easy and you didn't need to ask for permission to go skating in certain places and so on. I will say it was easier in many ways back in time, and I miss it.
Cool, thanks for uploading. I have this one on super-8mm as well, with sound, but without voice-over.
super8camera Your voice-over super-8 must be a 400ft version ?
mankie99 Sorry, I missed 'without voice-over', yea I have the same version as you on super-8, the IE International version with music only but mine is a bit faded.
Yea the 8mm version has not voice-over but is still a great piece !
The toe-clutch ollies are ill
Great movie .. ❤
At 9:05 his ollie is literally picking the board up with his toes!😎
M V.B gorilla grip!
Ollies didn't exist
@@bootyballs3072 apparently you're right, I just looked it up (unofficially 78').
That's a vert ollie the flatground Ollie's were invented in 1981
Skitch Hitchcock and his gorilla grip. Then came Sky Hooks. All before the Ollie.
That is just SOOOO vintage...Almost unreal.
We miss you Squeaky.
Id watch more, but I lived that era. Thanks for posting though.
No Ollie for that dude with the extra grippy toes 🤣🤟
Five summer storys .. my fav surf movie music by honk.. i showed this movie.. 1977
They used to have this on continuous loop in the skate shop in the basement of Alpine Sports in London. We used to stop in there for a bit before heading on to the South Bank.
Tony Alva skating the pool.
@Edward Scheve 5.06
No mistaking!
all footage is from 74 and 75. The movie was released in 76
Crazy imagination is what we all had no guts no glory , down under ! Lived in USA back then 🙃
Those were really magic and happy years... Let's repeat them :)
Never knew the ancient ollie was a simple toe grab.
It's called the gorilla grip
@@fernandomaron87
Can confirm, was hard on the toes when you bailed. Especially with an aluminum Banzai board.
Excellent stuff, thanks for posting!
an age before no skateboarding signs
Waldo Autry, Ed Natalin. Guy Grundy , Skitch Hitchcock
and T,Alva
@@anjinsanx44 and Debbie Eldridge, Dale "Sausage Man" Smith and many others
Wow so beautiful!!
These are the days when skateboarding was still fun.
I remember seeing this on prime time tv back then.
California has always been home to creativity and expression.
Nice Thanks, Brings back memories, Now if Hang 10 would start making T Shirts again i could die HAPPY Well guess it's time !!!! Just found online. But present day Seattle, where Moss is KING !
Where was this film exhibited? Was it on television, did it play at drive ins before the feature? How was it released?
I rented this video from the library when I was 14
1996
God bless Mike weed and his family. Make the world a better place, hug a skateboarder ♥️
3:08 Wow, that's some rad skating
great job man!
Amazing find. TY!
Guy Grundy is the man. A modern day Biker Sherlock.
How did they get those go pro action shots without a go pro!?
super 8 home movie cameras attached to the board, or a helmet
Yeah impressive stuff for the 70s tech. Pure skill back in those analog days.
D.I.Y.
3:10 When I show up to the skatepark.
9:08 first ollie captured on film! 🤯👍
T my goodness stars are some crazy KIDS!
Anyone ever see any other footage of the one legged hill-bomber in this vid? That was beyond gnarly, kind of surprised their aren't any comments about him yet. I tried to google him but to no avail; unfortunately I'm sure his name being "Mike Johnson" didn't help disambiguate things much. If anyone knows about him please share any info/footage you have.
He was in skateboard kings too
Then along came Rodney Mullen and skateboarding changed forever.
Let's not forget about Hank and his longboard at Kenter. Can I get a HELL YEAH!
Outstanding
no cell phone in sight, what a magical time to experience, wish I grew up back then in that era
This is from the movie 5 summer stories
Fastest downhill is now 91 mph!
Girl is Ellen O'Neal Deason. Now an "executive recruiter" in the San Diego area.
She just passed away recently, RIP Ellen.
Actually, the girl isn't (wasn't) Ellen. Her name is Debbie Eldridge.
2:14 that dude definitely spilled it
how lame would the world be if not for california
Back then....not now.
10:34 Current record is 89.4MPH. Crazy.
91mph
Before you comment dont even say anything about the toe ollies. Ollie's didn't exist till 1981
Well me and my friends did it in -75...
@@bootyballs3072 Ok Dylan
Gorilla gripping toe ollies and barefoot hippie jumps are proof that griptape is overrated.
Alan Gelfand disagrees.
love it
What’s the song in the beginning of the video?
3:08 => Fail...
The friend that says he can skate
No grip tape on Gundry
1st toe hold ollie
Is this the whole movie? Did this come out before or after Freewheelin?
It is the whole movie as it was released in 16mm film but if you google it, it seems like there were almost like a suite of films at that time dealing with the 4 seasons - I really don't know for sure...
1:30 GoPro shot is nice
GoPro did not exist in the 70's, but the 16mm shot is great ;)
@@mankie99 ... smh
Them toes had to be in a bad way
ahhh before the hawks took over....good times
How you feel you look when you smoke a joint, and walk into a public place 2:47

Thank you. I don´t know what Road Riders #4 means - I am too old I guess. I belong to the dudes that skateborded in the 60-70-s...
@@mankie99 In 1976 I had Road Rider #4's on my board.
@@mankie99
Those were some of the first urethane wheels circa 75-76 I think. Along with Cadillac wheels. Makaha might have been around as well.
👄11:02🥰🤪🤪🤪
I was a teenager when this film was made and believe me, no one, and I mean NO ONE was into skateboarding. it took a HUGE brainwashing, propaganda effort by the skateboarding manufacturers to convince anyone gullible enough that this was cool and turn it into the mega, colossal waste of time that it is today. and it STILL ain't cool.
You are a souless creiten.
@@bongload1052 … no, its those profiteers who turned a harmless child's toy and turned unto a colossal, billion-dollar rip-off industry it is today; these are the soulless cretin's of whom you speak.
@@sooperheep … yep, you just proved my point. thanks.
Must not skate.
@@cjmacq-vg8um Actually it's now an Olympic Sport. You are a liar and a bullshitter.
How could even 1 person dislike this?
There are people that just don´t understand...
There must be ONE who dislikes ! Otherwise we could NOT feel good when we smash that like button...You see the connection ?
