Hi, in the Netherlands I work for an educational tv program called Studio Snugger (NTR, public broadcast). It’s for children in the age of 6 to 9 and every episode they have to guess if stories are true or false. For one of these stories we would like to use a few seconds (max 5 seconds) of this video. Hopefully we are allowed to. It’s for a story about skating in empty swimming pools. We hope the children won’t believe this 😊 Hope to hear from you. Best, Anne
the afro, the all blue skateboard, the color, the quality of the vid(or the lack of it :s), makes this video the best skateboard vid i've ever seen! love it!
Been sk8ing for 47yrs. Make the world a better place, hug a skateboarder ♥️.
This film proves that you don't have to do switch kickflip ollie 540s to have fun. timeless...
thanks harvest'! amazing! how much bigger' and deeper angled', skateboard trucks are made now. peace
When you look back on the stuff we used to do with the equipment we had it's amazing.
Dude, they're totally goin' for it!
Cool,,, banana boards!!!!
Found one of those in my neighbours shed a few years ago,,,
Being a modern day skater, found it so hard to skate, so much fun bombing parks and hills when I got the hang of it though!!!!
Ya, that's what my grandpa told me they were in the 80s when I was 5 years in imperial beach California, banana boards love it feeeeeels goooooood
God I missed these days
Your footage chronicles how the 1970’s outlaw skateboarder scene was raging in San Diego County (SDC) and not just up in LA. Before the rise of Skateboard Parks, if someone found a great pool, ditch, or exceptional stretch of pavement, the word got out. We would go north and LA skaters would come south. Stacy Peralta derides SDC a bit in “Dogtown and Z-boys. The Zephyr Surf Team’s coming out was at the 1975 Del Mar Nationals in SDC. We didn't bother to go because what did a flatland contest have to do with us? Our crew never wanted for pools to skate. The film prominently features SDC Escondido Reservoir scenes. We would place a Coleman lantern on the dirt pile in the middle of the lake and skate "The Res" into the night. The catamaran scene at the SDC Concourse Parking Structure raged until a picture of an 8 person “raft” was published in the SDC Union/Tribune newspaper and they started busting us for trespassing. La Costa’s super clean pavement was in SDC. Jay Adam’s “Who’s Hot” feature in the December 1976 Skateboarder Magazine is all SDC including the main bowl at Carlsbad Skateboard Park shown here and he and Tony Alva skating and getting busted in the Soul Bowl pool behind the San Diego State University Counseling Center (also great to skate at night). With upmost due respect accorded, Dogtown didn’t grow this, they grew out of it.
Hey Don...I am from the Concourse and Union Bank days...and my friend's dad busted Alva at the soul bowl!! My favorite spots...Lee pool (aka black bottom) and Jamul Pool...great times! Gotta admit though...I went to the Del Mar nationals and thought about entering ( I could doa lot of 360s) ...but when I saw Zephyr, my whole life changed, as did my friend's too. We all bought the boards, the shoes , and started doing Berts at Patrick Henry banks. I repect what you are saying because the whole Dogtown / down south trip was invented by a few people, but for quite a while it did shift from La Costa and Dennis Shufelt to Adams, Alva, and all the rest..at least for me and my crew! Great old times...new tricks every month in skateboarder...rumors everywhere...Carlsbad, Home Avenue...oh man! Funny thing is, I think it's better now too, as now you can do whatever you want...and it's no longer copying 70s surfing...it can be anything now...do you agree? 100%Sktbrdr4evr...
This reply is for both of you , I skate boarded almost All of the very same spots in my day , Lee pool in La Mesa is where I broke my right arm learning backside airs and got caught on lip coming back in… free falling onto the bottom with leading arm out to “ Break my fall “ did sound good … until it was my arm that broke instead. Escondido reservoir , the Soul Bowl ( about a week before they dozed it) Valley center reservoir , The Pool at 9th & hale in Escondido, the “ Trench-town “ ditch along side Imperial avenue in Encanto , trips up to the Bad -lands to skate Mount Baldy pipe, the “ Fruitbowl “ , the “ L” pool , etc. if we could finagle details from some others ( usually meet at Vans Shoe store in Encinitas on Saturday morning) then off in my ‘65 Corvair on the hunt… I skated with The Stuhler bros( Marty , Dave , Bobby & Jimmy , along with Howard Zalopany, and Best bun Elmer Cooper ( the Black Alva) as we called him . He was first of any of us to do the hand plant and land it at Skateboard Heavens “ Soul-Bowl “ copy at the Henry Hester competition they held there that year and I got third in pool “ Coping carve competition “ … we also had highest stickers stuck up at about 10 & 2 o’clock in the plexiglass Full & half pipe that was set up there at about same time… Homewood & Moving on skateparks, plus El Cajon & La Mesa ( killer Half pipe , but F-ing SUPER FAST , due to being built on a slope) and of course Del Mar skate ranch to name a few , all were some of the greatest days of my life… probably ran across you guys from time to time. 👍
Our little crew was really easy to identify at the spots you mention, because I was skateboarding with the roller skaters. Famous vertical roller skater Kenny Mean was a fixture in the magazines at the time. I met his younger brother, also a vertical roller skater, and his San Pedro lifelong friends Marvin Vickers and Jack Crawford, at an outlaw session in the original Soul Bowl pool. It was located behind the San Diego State Counseling Services Center. We became fast friends and eventually roommates in Mission Beach. They all scattered or returned to San Pedro in the late 1970s, but Bobby had planted the seeds for other MB skaters to take their boardwalk performances vertical.
There is now a resurgence of vertical roller skaters since the rise of the Roller Derby movement. I wrote about the 1970s pool skaters I knew and posted a few pictures of our little outlaw group for the CIB Veterans of Vert series here:

There was a 8 level parking structure right off the 5 as you enter Los Angeles from the South. Off at first street, make a left and you were there. It had a Parking Company of America signage and it was next the Old Brew 102 and White King factories. An entirely industrial area, on the weekends there were zero cars. We would race down in all kinds of configurations. We’d take the elevator back up! It was the most fun! We had chicks come eventually and we had a crowd. Soon a neighbor local joined us. We were in Little Tokyo region! We came back one time after several months and he had his own crew skating down with us! The fastest way was on your knees we found.
The Footage in this one looks like some was done here at Community Concourse parking structure Downtown San Diego, Carlsbad Skatepark & some other local neighborhoods…. Nice !! That wreck at the end into the V.W……😂😉👍
1976. MY. PAL. HAL. JEPSEN. GO. FOR. IT. RIP canyonlocalfilmscom
i juts realized, at 1:30, they used that tune for the bones brigade videoshow, when Lance is skating round town
I never got the whole "let's cross our legs and ride down a hill together thing" lol
Hahehahehahe, funniest comment so far
I'm still laughing, and I dont smoke pot anymore
Its probably an age thing, Im betting you're around or under 40 - in the 70s as a kid I have great memories screwing around riding like that with my buddies, down parking structures in Disneyland hotel area - at the time it was new in a sport that was about to explode - my first board had clay wheels for Christ sake you can see how trying new things on boards that had urethane wheels was tempting n inviting to do what seems so simple and silly in today's eyes.
Lesson from your elder, know the history of something before you dog on it as everything is built upon the "silly things" that preceded it
Ahhh, Carlsbad Skatepark! R.I.P.
just watched it for the millionth time today lmao
sweet thought so thanks man ; )
Those of us that grew up Skateboarding in the 70s were really lucky. I was at the park the second school let out!
Your lucky I was born in 1979, and I barely remember the 80s
Found this video very relaxing, great music. I expected the crash at the end. We electric skateboarders have brakes.
E-glide.com
@@MrCoconutcat an electric skateboard with a wired remote, metal deck (no flex), and an oversized battery (no specific Amp Hour rating?) Seems like the only advantage to having this would be the AT wheels. I'll pass, seen/received enough badly designed electric skateboard requests to last a lifetime. Plus BajaBoard are massively better in comparison.
@@esk8jaimes thanks for the eggs up, I better skip them, what are some other great electric skateboards besides baja
@@MrCoconutcat well in depends on two things, your budget, and if you're wanting one with AT wheels. Generally the ones with standard electric skateboard wheels (usual hub motors) are the most affordable.
@@esk8jaimes I want one that's small to medium sized, and is expensive and good quality, but a good average price wouldn't be so bad, and I do like your idea of the board being wooden and flexible
The one push skate parks were like some kinda dream for us on the right coast. Before we could get any real parks, the lawyers closed them all. Carlsbad was meca.
@scurfskate It was way rougher and bloodier than it looked..well worth it though. Larry Bertleman made it look like magic.....enjoy ya'll peace
Cool the inventor of all the cool moves, not just larriels
Some good stuff came out of the 70s, like Road Riders (first precision bearing wheel) and the kick tail. Skateboarding on loose bearings wasn't bad (just got dirty easy), but no kicktail sucked. Lot of boards in the mid 70s were also extremely heavy. Logan Earth Ski was like riding a 2x4...and a lot of brands like Sims copied them.
I go down hills and every time since I was a kid once a year I get the wobbles and eat it, and I've been asking for 30 years how to stop it and no one gives me a straight answer, I think they like to have me eat it on the hills
@@MrCoconutcat you keep the majority of your weight over the front truck to prevent speed wobbles
@@waynecartwright9478 okayyyyyyy Wayyyyyyne I'll just have to trust what your telling me is the truth and put my feet and weight up on the board more and hope I don't wipe out at the almost bottom of the hill it would help if all these cars would slow down and wait for me ta do my thing
@EV5852 How? at the end they were riding on penny boards...just because there not doing kickflips doesnt mean there longboarding
😎😍😎
Aaah the old catamaran!
@chh5555 You mean "Flintstone chippaways" clay wheels, during the earlier part of the 70's and the later part of the sixties. Dig the catamaran style of two skaters interlocking feet and arms. My older brother and friend rode down "Rio Hondo College" Whittier, California,, hill north entrance onto Workman Mill road thru traffic light, about 15% grade.. these guys were psycho!! This parking structure is namby-pamby by comparisson.....lat'r Buzz
Cool knowledge thanx
15. 1975. BRIAN. RAPP. GO. FOR. IT
i second that
this is skateboarding. longboarding is lonboarding because the boards are long. this is skateboarding.
Excellent analogy free spirit
I filmed alot of these back in the mid to late 70's all in super 8.
Oooohhh you are lucky, I was born in 1979, so I missed most of the fun
i love 70' socks
Yaaaaaaaaa maaaaaaan
I feel you.
Yup, that's Alva starting at 1:42 and again a bit later.
i rented this when i worked at west coast video ala 1995
Be kind and dont rewind, unless you've got power of the flux copassiter
@runcornrich yes, he has a trick named after him on the west coast. the Berteleman slide. that thing where you put your hand on the ground and slide, i can do 360s on the ground and 720 berts on ramps
ps to lesclay, you're right about the aluminum decks though..lat'r Buzz
GO. FOR IT.
What those guy's are doing at :25 is what we used to call "catamaraning" back in the day, and it wasn't on wimpy downgrades like that parking structure they are on, it was down steep hills. It was a lot of fun and because of the way your weight was distributed you could handle steeper hills and more speed without your wheels wobbling. I had posters of dogtown guy's on my room walls in 1978-79'.
That's what I always get the wobbles, how do you stop that, does it have to do with the skateboard I buy, or my trucks being to loose, or my wheels to loose, or what, I'm scared I havent been down a hill in 3 years
Is that Larry Bertleman in the yellow shirt?
the concourse in downtown s.d. .... we still rip it today 2011
planetoperator lo Dude I remember skating that back in 1987 when I was on tour in the States. We did three runs then spent most of the night hiding from the cops. Lol. 😈
@scurfskate Go for it! Be what you believe , I'm heading that way. Simplicity is truth
Larry Bertleman at 1:50
@eanator3000 afro dude is Larry Bertlman i think...they're skating Carlsbad, (RIP)
+1 for the catamaran! O.-
@scurfskate It was way rougher and bloodier than it looked..well worth it though...enjoy ya'll peace
this is the same jazz inst. that was i the first bones brigade video years later
ilove the black afro dude XD lol
fuck this garage isnt there anymore.... i was trying to find it a couple weeks ago in downtown san diego but the highest gaage i found was the horton plaza mall garage
Poor VW at the end. lol
It looks like a different car, is that a bug, I dont know
tony alva...has a way of making concrete move like water?
You dont see that around as much
where is there a long board in this entire thing?
@lesterclaypool1 Um yeah, the actual use of "skateboards" didn't become popular until the sixties, anything prior to this was merely a "skooter". I started out on a Black Knight, wooden deck and clay wheels with an axle that pivoted. Easy to find on gooogle. Some chick auctioned one last year for ten measley bucks.. stoopid! I also put an old skate, nailed to a 18" 2x4, got bored after 15 minutes, just too frikken slippery, bad experiment, insto trash. Got the skater for xmas in 1967....
Geez women, but you gotta good deal, stoacked and happy
that guy's a gun at 4:20
what song is this? its in bones brigade video show as well
In the 70s , I bombed signal hill.take a look , your not going to attempt it ever.la Jolla was are spot to bomb hills when waves were flat..i once got a ticket for going 37 in a25 mile an hour on ball bearings Cadillac da kind, wheels on turmoline St. San Diego,p.b. that's how it's done.......
Was the last part fake or not?
1:42 is that alva
that blonde skater girl was sooo hot!
Ya, Golden bebe's kids
lol its impossible to smash into a vw bug and cause that much damage to it.
Nothing is impossible when you have slapstick comedy do it
i was born in the wrong generation
Lmao she ran into a wall
I know she was limping home, but laughing also
1975my pal hal jepsen made go for it with my dad Paul rapp Jay Adams Larry bertlman and davey Hilton for me and my delmar surfgirl Marta hersh canyonlocalfilmscom marty grimes rules
