The history of skateboarding can be told in many different ways. It can be traced through the evolution of tricks, from the surf style of the 70′s to the ledge dancing of the 90′s to the ATV assault of today. It’s visible in the development of skate videos, from Searching for Animal Chin to Misled Youth to today’s onslaught of web clips. And you can track it through the hard goods themselves, looking at how the shape of the deck and the substance of the wheels have changed over the half-century since Marty McFly first ripped the handlebars off a kid’s scooter in Back to the Future.
Eric Pinto has covered every single inch of his small Bushwick, Brooklyn apartment with a chronology of skateboards. Flat wooden planks with metal wheels, Vision decks with copers and rails in a rainbow of colorways, the actual board Sean Sheffey skated with at the Brooklyn Banks… Eric’s apartment is a museum of skate artifacts. With the support of Levi’s Skateboarding we toured the tiny Brooklyn apartment turned legendary skate archive for the latest installment of our Locals series.

Eric moved to my local town on Vancouver Island, one of the rowdiest skaters to skate with. Literally a beacon of stoke and energy.
Aaron Pedain this guy lives on the island ?
I used skate on island in that era brings back memories
That's so awesome man, thanks for sharing that

@@copray3883 me too
You would blow him given the opportunity
Dayyyyymmmm, thats sooooo rad!! Shame the video wasn't a little bit longer, Would have been neat to see more stuff.
Fuck you
We need another video update
Yup true that!
man I remember having a lot of those boards back in the eighties what a fucking good time to live
So glad I was a kid in the 80's when all the awesome old school pros were at their best... Cab, Hawk, Hosoi, Miller etc!
Totally! ...I used to have same red JFA board he's got above his door, heaviest deck ever!!!
Yep, I had that '87 Mike McGill but hot pink. Just a tiny kid watching Search for Animal Chin and wanting to be like the pros. Good times for sure.
@@justinkline1294 Animal Chin! That was a great movie... Loved it. Wheels on Fire and Streets on Fire where cool too.
@@conceptheroes7879 are you kidding. I drive Uber in San Francisco 5 days a week, and I always keep an eye out for Animal Chin! Lol! I so serious, lol!
I grew up and skated in the mid 80's in Southern Cali...best time of my life!!! Great collection 👌
So rad. Thank god there are still people out there who evaluate all of this.
Painless1992 I see you everywhere
Man this video brought back some great memories. What an amazing collection you have! 🙏 You should write and publish a photo heavy book about the historical significance of your collection. I'd buy it! Nice work bro!
I couldnt contain myself if i had that many boards, i would be riding them all!
Go to skatopia owned by skate legend brewce Martin in Rutland Ohio and check out his skate museum more boards from the beginning to today than you can even imagine. I've skated with brewce quite a few times he comes to my hometown skate park all the time and he's still a rad skater.
That is an insane amazing collection! OMG!!! I just saw decks that I forgot I ever even had! I saw like at least 8 of my old decks. I used to hang the broken ones on my wall when I was 13...
That is a crazy collection. My youth just hangs on his wall. Amazing.
*within reason*
Entire apt is plastered with decks
You could do ths same with you lame profile picture!
Hell yeah bro I've skated probably so many of those boards hanging on the wall dude you have a killer collection my friend I skated back in the early 80s and I've kept all my stuff as well man I've got a vision shirt with Eddie radecki Tony Hawk Mike McGill Lance Mountain Tony Alva basically The Duel at Diablo in Arizona I still have all their autographs how's the best days of my life man
sick i was a buyer for a skate shop 87 to 93 and i remember selling shit loads of them boards wow what a collection good post dope memories !!
No talk on the progression of trucks n wheels. Which have transformed a lot over the years.
that blender art thooo
You sir are a true legend!!! Thank you for sharing your passion!
great collection! I still have my Jeff Phillips skateboard from the 80's.
+Denise Cissen yes
I had the blue Caballero. This vid is flooding my mind with nostalgia. I'm 47 and grew up in Louisville, Ky. We used to go to a skate shop on Bardstown road just to look at all the boards we couldn't afford.
I hope you've got some decks from NYC legands. Papo, puppet head, Mousie MouseBerg, ect ect. Believe it or not there were kids in the mid 70's to 80"s who skated. There were homemade ramps all over BK. We skated with the second incarnation of the Zoo York crew. The park in Queens, and plexiglass Park in Staten Island. There was the barn in NJ. Not to mention Cherry Hill. Me and my friend Mike showed up at the Cherry Hill Park when we read in one of the skeet mags that Tony Alva would be skating there. We were surprised to see that we were the only ones from the NYC area to show up. There were a couple of kids from that pipeline Park on Long Island that also showed up. Papo was the smoothest NYC skater ever back in the day, and he could have stood tall with any of the West Coast skaters. It is what it is. I wish people knew how many kids were actually skating vert in Brooklyn. You got an incredible collection. I'm glad it's located in Brooklyn. Makes me feel good. Peace out.
Fucking awesome collection man!! Since I was a kid, I have always loved & preferred Powell-Peralta's over all the other SB manufacturers. I bought my first board back in 1986 when I was 13, which was a Lance Mountain Future Primitive II w/Indy's & Powell Wheels, love that board. You have a fantastic collection, wow!!
Love how they are set-up as completes. Personally, I can't have just a deck on the wall, I've gotta make it skateable.
Keep it up, hope to visit the museum one day !
BRo that Ron Chatman, i would love to hear more about how you got that. He is my all time favorite skater and i got that board Christmas of 1990 and to this day is still my favorite board i ever owned
I respect that collection. Majorly
I'm such a fan of skateboard collection videos. I've watched this one at least 10-15 times in the past 5 years. Never gets old! Keep the Heat coming! 👊🔥🤘
Nice!!! I had the 84 McGill with Tacker and Bones 3.
Ravenous pace.... I know the feeling. I went 0 to 100 and now have 15 complete vintage boards . its a passion
Awesome collection. Got any Pool Tools from the 80s. I grew up in the badlands during the early 80s with Tay Hunt and the Baldy pipeline and the Pipeline skate park. Great memories.
Having started the Texas Skateboarding Museum I have a special appreciation for the time, money, and passion required to assemble your amazing collection. Kudos and hat's off super cool. @texasskateboardingmuseum
In Dallas? Rollin over there soon. Bro.
cool. would love to see his stash of Gators. My favorite deck back in 80s. Mine got stolen out of car in 1989 and was so bummed. Would love to still have that board now. Bought a reissue few years ago but it's not the same....
Dude this is so sick! I got my first 80's style setup with a powell-peralta reissue deck and got some rails to go with it. Love carving bowls on it.
I truly am jealous... 80’s style skateboards are my dream 😍, I’ve been skating tha style since 7 years old, and still skate it to this day ., it truly changed the game ..
I lived through just about 99% of the boards he has... fuck I'm old!
We should be grateful we were around in the 80's - kids today have no idea of what they missed out on!...I feel sorry for them!..
Very cool video..... I rode a Jim Muir triplane in the late 70s , Powell Peralta decks were still flat.
It’s hard to believe any of this stuff is still around. I would have kept all of my boards from the mid 80s if I’d known. Ugh. I had a Gonz board that he wrote on and signed. He snapped it in half and gave me the front piece. I wish I still had that for sentimental reasons. Anyway, great video. Love to see that stuff.
Wow whhaa wheee! Just seen this vid and the memories came flooding back! I see some of the boards I used to skate. Loved my days skating.. Tempted to get into it again at a lesser, slower pace. Had some of the best times skating! ahh.. memories. :) Great Vid!
I say do it. I'm 45 now and still skate from time to time. I just stick to easy tricks like ollies, nollies, curb tricks, and only tricks I still feel confident landing. I say go buy a setup you like and go skate. Do it for the fun of it, and nevermind what people might say or think about you.
@@chrisarmstrong8210 You are right! I am actually looking to get a set up in the next few days. As far as what people think... I could not care less, I am 45 now too and reckon anyone who has the balls to get out and skate when their a bit older should be respected. :) Keep on, keeping on and having fun! :)
I have mixer of old vintage and few reissue decks. And very proud of the skateboard I got from tony hawk.
LOVE the collection!! You need to turn that apartment into a Museum for skate fans that grew up in the same era as we did!
That Tommy Guerrero white board with the flames was my first board as a kid, i still remember going into the skate shop and picking out my trucks and wheels for it
Wow what a cool collection of boards. I especially like to hear you talk about the history of the older ones. Most excellent !!!
Too cool! Love that you've ridden most of em. A museum would be great, I'd pay to see it for sure!
My first skateboard was an old, very old, RC Cola plastic board shaped like that one from the 60s. That is what I learned to ride on. Then it was a Variflex fishtale board. Amazing board. Keep in I received these things in the early 90s, so the double kicktail had already been a thing for a long time. Then my parents bought me my first modern board at 14. It was an Alien Workshop "Believe" complete ordered from CCS. You would not believe how receiving that board after all those weeks in the mail made me feel.
I had a Ron Chatman and I sold it on Craigslist for cheap. I did not know I had a board that was kinda rare because skating was kinda slow in the early 90's, I was just cleaning out stuff. I later saw someone in Florida on Ebay selling my board for like $275. It was a good board to skate.
Dame,.all those deck is mind blowing,.
Farmyard deck :)
My first 'double kick ' in my youth..
Great to see it again.
My first board was Vision Psycho!!! Saw some visions on your collection!!! 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
Yeah, awesome collection man! Great memories from the 80's. Everyone in Cedarburg Wisconsin had a board. My first "real" deck was black JFA with paisley. Then Caballero blood red. I also had the Vision Psycho stick, KASAI, and several naked decks I bought from friends selling bare decks. Wish I could do it again! :)
My man what a collection thank you for putting your video up on here this U2. Brings back so many memories I'm 48 and I was skating in the 80s. I actually got to meet the Bones Brigade here in Arlington Texas at a ramp demo that was awesome I'm at Craig Johnson Bachman Lake the clown ramp Jeff Phillips skating was so influential in my life thank you for sharing your collection man the guns I saw your vision deck thanks man
What a beautiful collection.🤓
Wow! Fantastic collection. Thank you for preserving skate history. My first "real" skateboard was the Santa Cruz Bullet model shown at the beginning. Loved that shape. I miss when boards had such a variety of shapes. Keep up the great work, man. God bless.
My first was a Powell peralta Steve Steadham, gorilla ribs, tracker trucks, German bearings and rat bones 85a wheels. Good times in the mid 80s. Actually first had the red Caballero deck alone but sold it to put together the Steadham.
Cool, I had a few Gators a few Cabelero in yellow and blue plus some Rob Roskopp Santa Cruz ones. The graphics on them were so nice I hated it when they inevitably got scratched up especially the Cabellero was a really nice blue with the dragon on it.
What an awesome collection...and I love what you've done with setting the boards up as the pros had them back in the day!..
That is awesome im so glad there are cats like this guy who keep the past alive like that 👍
omg he has the first board I ever had, that blue Steve Caballero deck! obviously not the same one I had, but yeah. my step brother gave it to me used and all beat up back in 88ish? been skating ever since.
Awesome collection amazing history and these were the pinnacle of skateboard from when I was 10 and wanted to be a skater till I was 19 and hung up skate boarding for good..I was hoping to see the old H- street "street key" that's the one that got away.
Love all of this! Something else to me. So glad you have all of this
OBSESSED, couldn't anyone say?
Some of those could be priceless!!
I feel lucky that I skated a long time, through a lot of its evolution to what it is know. Got a skinny 70s board in 82. Had that as clueless kid until I saw a kid do a no comply attempt and an ollie on latest santa cruz board in 87. I couldn't believe it. Got a dog town Eric Dressen and skated until I destroyed 3 disc in my back in 04. Absolutely devastating not being able to skate. Also probably wasted a lot of skate time on drink and drugs but I could also look at it that I skated a lot of times where I could have been doing less positive things. Helped keep addictions at bay. And what a board the sma julien stranger plane syringe was. Quite a big nose for the time. I progressed a lot on that board.
Love to see this guy do some pop up museums or something of that sort. If some came near me I'd definitely go.
I have 2 skateboards. What the hell is wrong with me. I should’ve kept all my old boards since the 80’s too. So awesome dude!
Tingles at seeing those Vision decks, and the Rob Roskopp decks around 3:00
That is one awesome collection! Very well displayed too! I love the old skool decks!
Damn. Hope he opens a really official museum one day. shit is so dope
Way to go dude , I fucking love this and would love to look around it.
Be cool to meet this guy! I’m from Brooklyn and skated in the 90’s in bay ridge with the locals including my cousin Steven Cales. Wonder where this is taken place?
There’s a dude in St. Louis that has an absolutely historic collection too. I worked for him at his skate shop Future Sk8. A true OG with amazing connections to the history of skateboarding origins. Don Early is his name. Cool dude, jaw dropping collection. You think that Blender deck is cool (which it obviously is priceless). Dons got a bunch of Blenders original art, and hand drawn deck art. You guys should team up to build the best skate museum in the world!
Damn! Just saw a few of the decks that I had back in the 80's. Wish I had kept them!
Those Chris Cook graphics are totally on point!
1:13 you're missing a Caballero... there was one that looked like the pink one you have, but it had this weird smaller tail. Like it was an old school big ramp board, but then he notched just the tail down to a smaller size. Unfortunately that was my first deck. I was like 8 or 9 and learning to ollie was the new thing. Good luck as an 8 year old learning to ollie on something that big. (The irony in those days was, at least in my hood... kids talked shit, certainly about freestyle boards, but any small board in general. I remember we found a Hawk mini deck someone had left behind on the playground. And everyone was kinda goofing on it and trying little tricks on it, but also sort of thrashing it around and I remember secretly wanting to grab it because I certainly wasn't learning any tricks on my huge Caballero. I think it was left there actually, because we all were going along with this, "what's with this stupid mini deck... haha, looks like a freestyle board... how fucking dumb! hahaha". Strange days... or strange being in the ages of 8 to 12 and just going along with whatever other kids did that their brothers had probably told them.
I skated with Ken Fillion in early highschool,,,,was cool to hear his name dropped in you documentary (which is straight up punk rock btw dude). I saved one of my decks that showed the transition from single tail to dual tails,,,,,love this history
Vallely's deck at 0:24 was first kind of double tail. I remember day it came. Had to get one. Later I got Natas'es 101 6ply. Those were the days!
+Low Bow wasnt it advertised as the "double dip" or something?
+jacobs akcat I remember it as "double tail" I'm not 100% sure. Must be 25 yrs ago or something..
That's awesome...good time to be in that scene. I remember the last of the craziness of that time. I remember right before world changed its image to that devil stick figure.
+jacobs akcat In Finland it was pretty hard to get good decks or pro models. Good times, absolutely. Now spots and parks are so sick. I still love to watch skating. Now and then I grab my board with me.
I have 8, ride them all. Feel that these are too many at times. I now have just given myself permission to obtain more
marc carter PLEASE LET ME BUY IT OFF YOU
wow dude I skated on a lot of these boards growing up
such a cool collection wanna visit here!!!!
Total flashback. I remember so many of those decks. Either I had em or friends had em. I haven't seen em in years. Very cool.
Who remembers the Santa Cruz everslick boards? They were a quick fad in the early 90's I believe. I thought I was pretty hot shit when I got one of those. I don't see any in these collection videos. I'm sure they have em though.
Yah dude I remember.. they were a fad for a while, quite a few different companies jumped on that bandwagon too.
Only deck I have is an original SHUT Street Posse deck from the late 80's. Never gripped or any trucks mounted.
You better not walk through that hallway while intoxicated haha. Beautiful decor!
I had the Rob Roskopp V... Bought it in 88 for the kickass artwork. The board road well also. Alwayz had the rib bones to protect the underside cauz I loved ti admire the graphics so much + rail slides were so luch smoothet and faster. No tail gaurds or truck gaurds or nose gaurds to much bulk and looks poser. Skating was epic and came to an end for me in winter of 89... Had nobody left to skate with.
Pure love!
Super nice collection, just a bit after my era.
I've got a Cab 3 that he rode before the graphics were done. Might have a home in your collection.
Soooo cooool when your wife said " - - - within reason - - - - " oh man, beautiful life. Rock (skate) on!
Stoked on the collection, bummed we didn’t see him ride one or what his personal skateboard setup is
Amazing!
Easily one of the best collections in the world
That’s awesome, brings back my young days!
I am obsessed to a degree, but concentrate on 70s mainly what a great collection.
The Coke Jeff Grosso was my first ever… love your collection, congratulations!
That Sheffey board is insane!
Thank you for doing this.
Love the collection, I was trying to find some information on the first addition Tom Groholski Jersey Devil model. Like how many were made and how much are they worth today.
I sold the Julien Stranger board on Ebay!! listed it as SMA board but did not know it actually belonged to him. Bummer for me lol
This video is AMAZING!!! ❤❤❤
my first board was a varaflex then a agent orange then I got a complete Jeff Phillips Indy trux with 85a Powell wheels. big old fat ones my favorite old board thou was hammerhead 2 hasoi. big ass thing
Incredible collection !!!!
That collection is so rad
that Muska deck is sick :)
