I sincerely believe that 1987 was the peak of humanity. All those thousands of years leading up to 1987 were just for 1987. Then it all started to go downhill and will never be that high again. Damn. This video is evidence. The music, the clothes, the style, the attitude, every fucking little detail can't be beaten.
I agree. I can just imagine Scott and his film crew talking about how amazing the stunts were and how they needed to be in super slo-mo to be able to really appreciate them. And he was right, it’s a film showcasing skating - it makes sense to have sone of the sequences in slow motion. The slow motion in Wheels of Fire is one of the things that always stands out when I watch it.
I miss the 80´s Santa Cruz sb with kryptonics wheels and smith trucks....I was just 17 and skating all the time with my bro and friends. No cell phones, no internet, just skate....heaven
42 yrs old and I still skate Santa Cruz roskopp face decks , old school reissue ones , fkn love them , either with Powell rat bones for park , and Santa Cruz vomits for street, and for cruising slime balls, Santa Cruz alive and well in the U.K. in 2018✌🏻🤘🏻
The raging waters footage with the soundtrack really brings back what the 80s actually felt like. the vert skating was legendary. they were blasting airs out of that ramp, nearly all the shots are tracking them against the sky.
This is an amazing feeling watching this all over again after all this years! I used to skateboard with all this movies! I truly believe i lived through the best years of skateboarding! I'm 43 now but I just want to buy a skateboard again and go crazy, what a feeling....
Have they re-released all the PP boards as well? I think it was amazing they did that for the glory days of SC...I can see me purchasing one of them again eventually. They can def see the 40 somethings coming.
I'm 45 now and loved this video when it came out in 1987. I remember going to Spyder Skate & Surf shop in Hermosa Beach, CA to buy it the first day it was available. Good Times.
***** yes my friend it was a different era .....a different time.skateboarding was admired and "cool" as is is now. it was dangerous the gangs would yell skaters suck and throw shit as they drove by .the jocks would scream skaters suck and throw shit as they drove by.after school rumbles some group always against the skaters.it was shorts over sweat pants. now its girls pants . what ever happened to tube pants. anyways I gotta hipper to nurse .slaatte
i got this for my 11birthday and watched it everday before school till it burnt out. still remember every word in it and think it probably shaped the person i am. cheers santa cruz, classic
This video and Animal Chin were our two go two videos. We lived to watch these and skate that was it. Being inside the house was not in the cards… you would have had to have been sick or it was raining outside.
First skate movie I ever watched, and I watched it when it came out back in the day. And now it's 2019! Skateboarding, the Fountain of Youth. 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
+Jessebaseballny Its sad watching it now, I remember the last night the Pipeline was open.. It was a heavy moment for everyone that 'grew up' there that night.
christbait yep i agree its sad that pipeline is gone, but that also adds more reasons as to why Salbas piece is the best in a skate video. I cant imagine how you guys felt that night like a piece of your youth was suddenly gone.
Here's the soundtrack... 01 WHAT'S SO STRANGE ABOUT ME? - Eight Day’z 02/03“Baby Don’t Love Me” and country/blue-grass tune (Jeff Kendall part) 04 STANDING ON THE VERGE - J.F.A. - (Jeff Kendall part) 05 DIFFERENT WORLDS - Eight Day’z - (Rob Roskopp skating down path) 06 HE WHO BEATS UP CHILDREN - Eight Day’z - (Freestyle part - not sure of skaters name) 07 WHEELS OF FIRE (I’m on fire) - Screaming Lord Salba & The Blue Flames 08 POOL - J.F.A. (Love bowl??) 09 JULIE'S SONG - J.F.A. 10 PICK POCKET MAN - Eight Day’z (NATAS bit) 11 LEAVE ME ALL ALONE - Eight Day’z (NATAS bit) 12 MY MOVIE - J.F.A. 13 ABA - J.F.A. 14 WHAT'S SO STRANGE ABOUT ME - Eight Day'z
I remember watching this with all of my buddies at my house in 1988. Some of the best days of my life. I'm now 43 and still hop on a board every once in a while. For being old and fat I can still ollie kick flip and other tricks as well.
Powell Peralta generally made the best 80s skate videos, but Santa Cruz's Wheels of Fire really topped them all. The soundtrack is truly memorable. Natas's part blew my mind back then.
I've actually met with the guitarist, who played on this. He shared rare photos and a video, which was shot live in a cinema. Absolutely stunning material
Funny how skateboarding is coming back this way, with longboarding being so big, penny boards and all that. People are re-finding the fun in just shredding on a board and being good at it, than worrying about how many technical flip tricks you can do.
It will never really phase out like it did in the past. There are just so many options now and with net so much easier to get motivated. There has never been a better time to skate, young or old. I'm never gonna stop, its a serious addiction with so many benefits.
I was an Aussie kid living in Hong Kong and I skated with the locals there and when my birthday came around I just wanted a Rob Roskopp face board with indi trucks and slime ball wheels. I got it and I was In heaven. I remember all the names and all the boards that came out.
When I first got into skating I used to love studying those California Skate Shop? ads in the back of the mags that had a hundred or so images of tiny decks in black and white to learn all of the names and companies. I’m the same, if you give me a company name from the 80s I can still name all of the riders lol
Natas killing it... His part really stuck out to me. His skating is really down to earth. This video illustrates the line between what is flailing and what is thrashing.
One of the finest videos of the 80s..their team killed in that time period..its really a toss up between this streets on fire.and the early h street videos..anyways..always..fun 2 watch .no matter how many times..never gets old...FUSE1..NS .812.. ..
Fuck yeah, I grew up skating at The Pipeline and those spots Steve Alba's segment shows. Steve and Micke were the kings of Pipeline hands down. We wore the shit out of this VHS in junior high watching him and Natas's segment over and over and over..
My friends and I used to watch this over and over back in the late 80s, along with Streets of Fire. Then masses of videos started coming out in the early 90s and my mates moved on from the old 80s vids. But I never stopped watching this (and a few others like Molecules of Motion, Sick Boys, Animal Chin and Public Domain). Every now and then in the 90s and 2000s I’d put on Wheels of Fire if I was hosting a bbq or get-together and all of the old gang would be so into it! Even mates who weren’t into skating would comment on how well it was shot and how cool the soundtrack is. It was an all-round favourite, long after it’s release.
I’m gonna say I was raised right, I’m 20 years old now, born in 2004 and grew up watching these kinds of videos, I still have a VHS copy of this and a vhs player that still works (most of the time) but I love this music, the clips, the way they dressed, everything I love it all and apply it to my life style.
Están bien los.videos.de.profesionales . Gente con estilo 😎 pero no hay que olvidarse nunca de.los.buenos ratos.y de.la naturalidad y la.gracia de aquellos.maravillosos.años.
Back then, we had fads on the coast first, and skateboarding was like this in the early 80s in California valley. Abandoned pools and half-pipes in the backyards. By the late 80s we'd moved to the mountains and we'd fly 50 mph down steep hills. One thing I really appreciate is that those guys encouraged pads and equipment, allowed total abandonment knowing you could roll out.
I remember the shopping center me and my friends skated finally got security to run us out. We gave those guys a hard time just like in the video. 80's were a great time to be a live.
bassage13 yeah, yeah. The spinny thing on top of the fire hydrant was pure CLASS mate. Great days for street skating ('87 - '90 was when I was shredding it). Kool bro.
Pissed I let a friend borrow my VHS copy years ago and never got that shit back. As a kid I I got Wheels of fire x-mas of 1988 and played that shit every fucking day. Natus to this day is still the fucking man !
Got this tape in beta. I remember going to someplace store to record this from my friend's VHS tape to beta. When I finally got it, all time in replay mode. Seeing all this USA locations, the music. Great memories of a different and simplier era
This video inspired and shaped me and my brother on so many levels that I still think about it until this day (12/20/18). We are excited to watch this again after so many years!
37:58 This footage is stuff of legends. I've seen plenty of Raging Waters skate videos, but no other could replicate this. The blue sky and blue waters on background with Christian flying high and that soundtrack, it's poetry in motion.
wowzers! I got this cassette tape in 1987,88 ,it was called born to skate! Some of the tracks to this documentary are on that tape. I haven't herd them since then 💥kaboom, plus all those designs on the boards bring me back big time!!!thanks for putting this up.
hemmojito Zero nose, enormous tail, flat as a pancake, heavy as lead, way too high off the ground...and Natas could still ollie trash cans and fire hydrants. Amazing.
Natas part was way ahead back then. Ollie up to FS 360 ollie down the beach ledge, manual to FS ollie out etc., all in '86/87. Not to forget proper levelled-out ollies with boards that had pretty much no nose. And these wallrides....
Used to have this and Streets On Fire. Ah the memories. I used to watch these and it always hyped me up to go out on my skateboard. The problem is a) I was crap and b) there wasn't anywhere good to skate near where I lived.
At 39:39 Grabke is skating Oj II street 92a' wheels ! 1987 damn man I'm glad I bought those reissues from Santa Cruz man ! Cost me $60 But since I saw them in this video I'm totally stoked 🔥🔥🔥⚔
OJs and Slimeballs have always made awesome fucking wheels. I'm skating the reissued 65mm/97a Slimeballs speed wheels right now. It's cool to be able to get the old shit again even though it's all reissued.
Still watching in 2023 like me ? Let's get a thumbs up👍
also in 2024
How good is the intro and music, the game has moved on a long way since this video but the style, simplicity and music is still amazing
Still watching 2024
And 2024.
This were the real 80's..No cell phones,no internet,just a streets,asphalt,green grass and beautiful blue sky...Best decade
LOL, YA RITE, GRAMPS!!!
🤘🤘🤘
We definitely remember it that way. Seems like youngsters think we were nuts! 😆 80s skate scene was and still is unparalleled! 👊😎🛹
@@Thallod your generation is soft
Mike Smith we skate better tho :)
I still have the VHS tape of this. Made such an impact on me
I sincerely believe that 1987 was the peak of humanity. All those thousands of years leading up to 1987 were just for 1987. Then it all started to go downhill and will never be that high again. Damn. This video is evidence. The music, the clothes, the style, the attitude, every fucking little detail can't be beaten.
Agreed.
EMPHATICALLY AGREE 💯%
Alright grandad. Only joking. I started skating properly in 87, and managed to 04. But 87 to 91 was gold.
What’s wrong with 1988 and 1989?
Not going to lie, Santa Cruz made quality skate films back in the 80’s, especially with the use of slow motion.
I agree. I can just imagine Scott and his film crew talking about how amazing the stunts were and how they needed to be in super slo-mo to be able to really appreciate them. And he was right, it’s a film showcasing skating - it makes sense to have sone of the sequences in slow motion. The slow motion in Wheels of Fire is one of the things that always stands out when I watch it.
That raging waters part in the end is pure art filmmaking
Best soundtrack of any skate video I've seen...
you forgot the alien workshop soundtrack
I miss the 80´s Santa Cruz sb with kryptonics wheels and smith trucks....I was just 17 and skating all the time with my bro and friends. No cell phones, no internet, just skate....heaven
42 yrs old and I still skate Santa Cruz roskopp face decks , old school reissue ones , fkn love them , either with Powell rat bones for park , and Santa Cruz vomits for street, and for cruising slime balls, Santa Cruz alive and well in the U.K. in 2018✌🏻🤘🏻
Thumbs up if you're watching in 2018!!!!
I always like to think of myself as a of the times
Eve Lyn still bad ass 30 years later.
Thumbs down if watched in 2019
2020 shit
oh my god..!..SANTA CRUz's WHEELS OF FIRE-i STARTED TO CRY WHEN i HEARD ALL THE CLASSIC MUSIC-THANKS!1!
The raging waters footage with the soundtrack really brings back what the 80s actually felt like. the vert skating was legendary. they were blasting airs out of that ramp, nearly all the shots are tracking them against the sky.
Yeah, that footage looks magical, like a video game world or something.
Eight Dayz ‘What’s so strange about me’ has to be one of the all time greatest skate tunes..
They totally nailed it on this.
💯
and thumbs up if you're watching in 2019!!!!
2021
2021
2023 mofo
This is an amazing feeling watching this all over again after all this years! I used to skateboard with all this movies! I truly believe i lived through the best years of skateboarding! I'm 43 now but I just want to buy a skateboard again and go crazy, what a feeling....
Jaime Gomes i agree and im 42 and black
I still have two decks...don't ride them though, as I'm 44 and sort of brittle
Jaime 73 just do it 🤘
Never quit, I won't.
Have they re-released all the PP boards as well? I think it was amazing they did that for the glory days of SC...I can see me purchasing one of them again eventually. They can def see the 40 somethings coming.
These guys were gods to me when I was kid. Still got mad respect for these cats. This video changed my life forever.
Man…. We watched this everyday back in the late 80s
The "Soundtrack" of my life... still singing these songs since 1988 when I Sk8.
I'm 45 now and loved this video when it came out in 1987. I remember going to Spyder Skate & Surf shop in Hermosa Beach, CA to buy it the first day it was available. Good Times.
Love the soundtrack and slow motion filming. Much better than using videotape.
this is my childhood. Love it forever. Little bit tears come along.
great old school skating, the good ole days!
***** yes my friend it was a different era .....a different time.skateboarding was admired and "cool" as is is now. it was dangerous the gangs would yell skaters suck and throw shit as they drove by .the jocks would scream skaters suck and throw shit as they drove by.after school rumbles some group always against the skaters.it was shorts over sweat pants. now its girls pants . what ever happened to tube pants. anyways I gotta hipper to nurse .slaatte
i got this for my 11birthday and watched it everday before school till it burnt out. still remember every word in it and think it probably shaped the person i am. cheers santa cruz, classic
Same, all the time, when sk8 vids cost SO MUCH. Kids have no fucking idea how lucky they are today with this stuff.
This video and Animal Chin were our two go two videos. We lived to watch these and skate that was it. Being inside the house was not in the cards… you would have had to have been sick or it was raining outside.
First skate movie I ever watched, and I watched it when it came out back in the day. And now it's 2019! Skateboarding, the Fountain of Youth. 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Yes same here! It still holds up, such a great soundtrack as well. The very first I rented from my local skateshop, changed everything 👍
This really set my mind on how beautiful skateboarding is
Thumbs up if you watching this in 2016!!!!!
+Jeff Phillips I don't care.
Didn't ask you.
Jeff Phillips watching this in 2017 hahahahaha
2017 thumbs..
hell yeah in 2017 i still watching this
Steve Alba's piece in this video is the best in any other skate video. I don't think I'll ever see a better spot.
+Jessebaseballny Its sad watching it now, I remember the last night the Pipeline was open.. It was a heavy moment for everyone that 'grew up' there that night.
christbait yep i agree its sad that pipeline is gone, but that also adds more reasons as to why Salbas piece is the best in a skate video. I cant imagine how you guys felt that night like a piece of your youth was suddenly gone.
Rob Roskopp was a personal favorite, coolest decks,santa cruz, next to schmidt stix ;P
Yup i had one my favorite deck back in the day 😎🤘
Loved his graphicw
I was 12 years old at the end of the 80's when I saw this for the first time with my friends. Wow! it hit me like a rock.

Natas doing a Back 270 lip on even just a curb is pretty ahead of its time lol. mid 80's super-tech!
This video was my inspiration to start skating...it's been 32 years and still love it! Love the soundtrack!
I remember watching this with all of my buddies at my house in 1988. Some of the best days of my life. I'm now 43 and still hop on a board every once in a while. For being old and fat I can still ollie kick flip and other tricks as well.
Powell Peralta generally made the best 80s skate videos, but Santa Cruz's Wheels of Fire really topped them all. The soundtrack is truly memorable. Natas's part blew my mind back then.
Streets on Fire is also great

@Figgy Newton far out man, 7 year old comment you're replying to haha.
I was an Aussie kid living in Hong Kong and I skated with the locals there and when my birthday came around I just wanted a Rob Roskopp face board with indi trucks and slime ball wheels. I got it and I was In heaven. I remember all the names and all the boards that came out.

Good old times!!! \m/
Natas killing it... His part really stuck out to me. His skating is really down to earth. This video illustrates the line between what is flailing and what is thrashing.
Natas was amazing
Thumbs up if watching in 2015!!
Jeff Phillips no... I'm watching this 8 years ago. wtf are you talking about? of course everyone is watching this in the last few years.
Jeff Phillips im sorry are you 9/11
King Aleks yeah
This video rules
Thanks to these old school videos, I’m learning to skate with style!
One of the finest videos of the 80s..their team killed in that time period..its really a toss up between this streets on fire.and the early h street videos..anyways..always..fun 2 watch .no matter how many times..never gets old...FUSE1..NS .812.. ..
It's hard to compare Wheels with those, they seem like the next gen in skate vids, just as good though.
2024 strong
I remember watching this over and over again as a young buck, dang the memories.
Fuck yeah, I grew up skating at The Pipeline and those spots Steve Alba's segment shows. Steve and Micke were the kings of Pipeline hands down. We wore the shit out of this VHS in junior high watching him and Natas's segment over and over and over..
My friends and I used to watch this over and over back in the late 80s, along with Streets of Fire.

Even mates who weren’t into skating would comment on how well it was shot and how cool the soundtrack is. It was an all-round favourite, long after it’s release.
This video is forever timeless this will forever be a artifact of culture
I was in the tenth grade when this one came out. The soundtrack was as awesome as the skateboarding😎👍🏿
That intro went so hard.
I remember back when this came out, I hooked my vcr up to a tape deck and recorded the songs- great soundtrack!
You were a step ahead of me as I just set a tape recorder in front of the TV and hit record.
so 80s it hurts, i love it!
I’m gonna say I was raised right, I’m 20 years old now, born in 2004 and grew up watching these kinds of videos, I still have a VHS copy of this and a vhs player that still works (most of the time) but I love this music, the clips, the way they dressed, everything I love it all and apply it to my life style.

Simply legendary

wow....this was so awesome to watch! great time in life....
Definitely, one of the best sk8 vids EVER. So bad, so good & soooo 80s.
Natal Kaupas @26:06 Best street skating segment on any video at the time. My VHS tape was worn out at this section from over usage.
*Natas lol
Andre La Rouge And then Streets on Fire came out he became a legend. That part changed the history of skateboarding.
bassage13 yeah, yeah. The spinny thing on top of the fire hydrant was pure CLASS mate. Great days for street skating ('87 - '90 was when I was shredding it). Kool bro.
Pissed I let a friend borrow my VHS copy years ago and never got that shit back. As a kid I I got Wheels of fire x-mas of 1988 and played that shit every fucking day. Natus to this day is still the fucking man !
JFA Julie's Song with the Nude Bowl footage was always my favorite pairing of music/skating in any video.
Best film ever ! Watching it on VCR in 87 and now again in 2018
Natas was my God . When skateboarding was real !
Me and the gang all watched this when it came out got stoked and skated till the early morn....good ol days
love this one , i remember watching it in 1988 i was 21 , it made me go out and buy a board !
The question is do you still skate today?
The MUSIC, though!! Love everything about this!! 2018 in da house!
Got this tape in beta. I remember going to someplace store to record this from my friend's VHS tape to beta. When I finally got it, all time in replay mode. Seeing all this USA locations, the music. Great memories of a different and simplier era
31:33 That music is so chill and mellow, love it even still...what a blast just to sesh on that...SC forever.
These guys were so freakin' cool... I miss the 80's and the 90'ies
The nostalgia is overwhelming.
This video inspired and shaped me and my brother on so many levels that I still think about it until this day (12/20/18). We are excited to watch this again after so many years!
37:58 This footage is stuff of legends. I've seen plenty of Raging Waters skate videos, but no other could replicate this. The blue sky and blue waters on background with Christian flying high and that soundtrack, it's poetry in motion.
The moves, the sound. It's all there.
I’m glad this is out and one of my favorite memories 🙏
wowzers! I got this cassette tape in 1987,88 ,it was called born to skate! Some of the tracks to this documentary are on that tape. I haven't herd them since then 💥kaboom, plus all those designs on the boards bring me back big time!!!thanks for putting this up.
One of the coolest documentaries I’ve ever seen.
Wheels of Fire has aged pretty darn well, all things considered when viewed with the Vision video from ‘87 and Animal Chin.
Best skate time of my childhood ! the 80's best decade ever period ! feel pitty for the youngsters now these days!
...and again 2020. Greetings from Germany !
amazing what these guys did with the old boards. Nearly straight out flat.
hemmojito Zero nose, enormous tail, flat as a pancake, heavy as lead, way too high off the ground...and Natas could still ollie trash cans and fire hydrants. Amazing.
Jeff Kendall. So smooth. So great.
Pumpkin Eruption. My first board.
Love this VHS. Such a great soundtrack.
My first as well. This video is responsible for so much, lol. I still can't remember what happened to it.
Man I miss the bad old days!!
This was the video I studied when I started skating back in the day. Prob saw this vid hundreds of times. Music is epic! Sure brings back memories.
Natas part was way ahead back then. Ollie up to FS 360 ollie down the beach ledge, manual to FS ollie out etc., all in '86/87. Not to forget proper levelled-out ollies with boards that had pretty much no nose. And these wallrides....
This could be the best skate film ever made.
Jessebaseballny . Streets on Fire kills this video
It's definitely one of them.
Maybe, but this was the first, it means a lot to many skaters from that era.
Bro this is a good one but nothing beats animal chin
Yeah agree Animal Chin are legend. the movie ever seen and the team Bones Brigade@@jizzo385
I love shape boards I just got my first a couple weeks ago. so much stabler it's like a tiny longboard. Very inspirational video.
i love this old school videos,i did grow up watching and listening them
Give it up for Salba . #skatebordinglegend
this makes me proud to have grown up a skater in Santa Cruz
Jason Jessee!!
Still have a lot of decks from this time ! I lived it so badly
This and the Shackle me not soundtracks are my favourite skate movie soundtracks ❤
Thank god I still have this on VHS. Such a great video.
classic.. thanks for uploading this gem
Great to watch again. Probably my all time favorite video when skating in the 80s.
Used to have this and Streets On Fire. Ah the memories.
I used to watch these and it always hyped me up to go out on my skateboard. The problem is a) I was crap and b) there wasn't anywhere good to skate near where I lived.
These vids were my inspiration to get better. best times of my life was glad the nose came out though..
At 39:39 Grabke is skating Oj II street 92a' wheels ! 1987 damn man
I'm glad I bought those reissues from Santa Cruz man ! Cost me $60
But since I saw them in this video
I'm totally stoked 🔥🔥🔥⚔
OJs and Slimeballs have always made awesome fucking wheels. I'm skating the reissued 65mm/97a Slimeballs speed wheels right now. It's cool to be able to get the old shit again even though it's all reissued.
Can't stop listenning to it. Sometimes I watch only the beginning of the video only to hear it (even if the whole video is great)
😱 me and my highschool best friend we had this on videotape when we were 14 and skating
