These clips are from all sorts of sources, a cutdown of sections compiled in a film by Winstan Whitter called Rollin Through the Decades. Some of it is from other films and tv made back then, some if it is from super8 shot by various people which we transferred for Rollin'. There's loads more brilliant and until then unseen footage in the film, shot by the likes of Dobie, Sean Goff and Sue Hazell. The dvd can still be picked up, so check it out. r3d3 evidently has a copy!
Wow what a blast from the past ,anyone remember the NationWide contest ? Still got all my stuff .Red 65 kryps and green 70s still smooth . Thanks for posting !
My dad worked at Southsea skatepark in the 70s. I skated a modern deck when i was younger, but I was crap and never got on with it too well. Moved to uni this year and bought a cruiser just to get about on. This is what I was meant to do.
@mollers92 Good god yes ,that takes me back. Think he had a thing for Meatloaf (the albums) played it all the time. Worked with Tony Guy? Say hello from Tracy
why did skateboard change to small hard wheels. My board was a fibreflex bowlrider, gullwing trucks and 70mm red kryps. It was a smooth board to ride around on and quick
the small hard wheels came out during a massive lull in skateboarding 91-94 by then wheels were perfected but fast as hell not allowing nonskaters to get on board so the industry slowed skateboarding down drastically allowing the uncoordinated to ride and sales skyrocketed.....but it was a gimmick not for serious balls out skateboarding....
Yup I was there. Homemade deck, ACS 651s, big reds. I hated the black bowl at Skate City - dreadful transition, massive radius lip, couldnt make it flow at all
Excellent - Even better with the choones!!! ....... Now where's Lip Bombs? ... Fucking love it (Please excuse the potty mouth) But this makes me feel alive!! LOL. Thanks again.
@engmofo Haha yeah, Still does like Meatloaf! I will say Hi! I know very very little about those days of his. Just that he worked in a skatepark and rode a lot of motorbikes.
Can't be arsed reading every comment ... BUT ... Alva deck( early DOGTOWN) that I made with my mate (dead now) ..... TRACKERS & for me, my preference of wheel after a world of mum n dad bought wheels was ..... And NO, it's not the RED Krip (Soft as shite) 78 somehting or other . OR The BLUE Krip. Good on streets and Parks ... If you didn't live in a grid.. Then the wheels of all wheels.. The LIME GREEN Kryp. ........ All of which were shite .. T he wheel of all wheels is . The bellair- LIPBOMB. Oh yes.. Beat that Shogo Kubo.
@SkatingFetus pissed myself I was skating round my house checking iphone emails when I got your message. Have put some videos up so you can see why I dont know whats going on in the world and you can see my new board and trying to ride for the first time in years
I was there... ACs 650 trucks, red krps. I can still smell those wheels. Blessed childhood

@alfaromeoash Because small rocks can just be flicked out of the way and it's much much better with navigating and gaining speed.
