Freestyle from ban this

[Finybooom]

@djsazquatch

I think there's a couple of samples of The Smiths or Morrissey song on the guitars

[ANG29FORT]

Awesome FREESTYLE!!!!!!!!!!

[djsazquatch]

@DJGrenola Nice. Good catch. The first beat is from "My Mic Sounds Nice" by Salt 'N' Pepa but it has a synth line layered over it. I don't know if it's from some obscure remix or if Dragon did it. Chuck Treece is McRad though, I don't think Steadham has anything to do with him but I could be wrong.

[DJGrenola]

@djsazquatch The guitar is from How Soon Is Now by the Smiths.

[sippndipp]

I would pay 50 euros for the ban this soundtrack!

[alesnacarlo123]

Wow that guy looks like tony hawk

[AYYitzAUSTIN]

this video is the only reason why i still freestyle skate

[BOBChildrenOfReagan]

This makes me so happy! When this video came out we would watch it along with H-Street's Shackle Me Not then go shred the bank parking lot.

[8KDM]

freestyle without elements true discpline

[beonX]

Luv that! But why don't we see that today???

[xsploitedsecurity]

Skateboarding has really came a long long way. :)

[petermwhitley]

Incredible. Great stuff...truly inspiring.

[grimcity]

Thanks for uploading this! I have the original tape but my VCR died, haha.

You're pretty much right about the music... all of it was commissioned by Powell (probably under Stacy himself), I know Skatemaster Tate did Per Welinder's song and a few others, and Steve Stedham did some stuff ("My Ship's Under Water"-McGill and Cab's part). You can actually contact Stedham, he still makes music under the name McRad. Very accessible on MySpace, good guy too.

[grimcity]

Argh, I said Steve Steadham? I'm an idiot. Chuck Treece. Steve Steadham's still lurking around too, though.

[lynus111]

Is this the usual Dennis Dragon horseshit music?

[jpisciot]

Ohhh... over editing a B+B trademark. thank god $ Shackle me not, rubbish heap and dare i say Blockhead vid... we'd all be skating to Bee gees otherwise. Not that that would be bad!

[SPHORX]

Ahh, Ban This!, nice memories, great video, incredible skaters, i still remember the decks that we ride: vallely, caballero, mc gill, hosoi, frankie hill (insane), double vision, the ollie impossible was the new trick to learn (an your knees skin was gone trying that trick) ^^

[Elektrycznyswiat]

ledwo pamiętam te czasy ...

[SMERGHEED]

who needs four wheels when one will do???LOL!

[AaronCato77]

Damn, Thats A pretty Skilled TV stand to Switch pogo. By PER

[Fleppo]

I think he normally do hes nohand pogos in switch.

[Mystirey]

This is one of the best skate vids. Nearly the entire vid is either inspiring or hilarious. And the Agassi immitation. Hahahaha! ;D

[alvaritooooooooo]

i can't remember wich model are those arwalk shoes! (in the first part)

[Nikopolla]

handstand pogo!! joder! es como rodney!

[VitTheSkater]

actually, it's called a TV stand.

[jay19115]

Ban This best powell video of its time loved it yeah

[DjTonino]

the 80' the best years of skating! the best video of the old year, the old years of freestyle

[gallitolb]

old skool ;)

[ARDON3]

What's that a 2 song ???

[boxxermann]

dude the uh music cant be boughten or downloaded the description says that it was made by powell peralta, and is not commercially

[artistenator]

You can *actually* get the music from Powell Peralta's website.

[chikobcn79]

Hello,

Where I can find all musics of Ban this video?

Thank you!

[00rodneymullen00]

whats the name of the 2nd song?

[LaFamiliaSk8]

what this song?

[ertvgieutzrhetkgerzt]

What is the first dong (the part of Harris)called?

[bboy0824]

An old school doubleflip to 180 tailstop

[ertvgieutzrhetkgerzt]

Per is AMAZING! He is my favorite skater.Does anybody know what he makes nowadays ?

[bboy0824]

Bro, him and and hawk started birdhouse. i know he's involved with a major shoe company...wanna say etnies but im not sure.

[ertvgieutzrhetkgerzt]

thanx

[freestyledog1]

"Wanna say etnies" you might be thinking of piere Andre. i saw a recent pic of welinder riding a freestyle deck from Reverse freestyle. so i guess he still freestyles

[nfuze]

Thanks for sharing; excelent vid. Talented guys, this is a lost style....

[laffrenere]

I went fishing with KH on the Great Slave and didn't even realize it! If you're from Canada you'd now what that meant.

[caspay]

actually, new stuff is NEVER being done in any kind of skate. wow. this time bob kickfliped the 9 set INSTEAD of ollieing it. Street isnt evolving, freestyle inst much either

[Fishymuffin]

Trick, there would BE no "Modern Street" skating if it weren't for Mullen, he invented the flat-ground ollie you fuckin twit. Anyways, there is no "Modern Street" skating. Why? Because it's constantly evolving because of the new calibur of skaters coming out every day. Pick up a skate mag or go to your local 7-stair some time. You see new shit every day that you've probably never seen before. Why? Because nothing is "modern" anymore. ass.

[baldassaredegenes]

yeah,yeah.skate...and destroy.this vid rocks.

ahh, if we could came back in the 80ies... -_-

[shanekettley]

wow there boards look tiny ^^

[mhks68]

Where do you think ---ALL--- of todays flip tricks came from you tool. Mullen is the creator of nearly all of them, not to mention he is also repsonsible for the thin double tail style deck that is used today. Learn your history young one learn your history!!!

[thedolemitekid]

I want to see Guerero's part soooooo bad now, but I can't find it! I used to have Ban This! when I was about 12 but lost it lending it out to someone. I'm bummed I don't have it anymore.

[hanspeterpitsch]

i want one of this old skateboards! Is it easier to skate flatland with them? (they're smaller)

[boyloveskebabs]

bring back flatland .

ps Mullen rocks

[shagsak]

i used to have those 540 prototypes

[laffrenere]

Too bad the real "street style" is dead... I miss it.

[oscarpennstate]

freestyle skating is a lost artform! :(

[gregrobk]

what the name of the song in per's part

[FuNkYbOsS]

I'm guessing "skate and destroy"?

[davidlathrop]

funky fresh

[Errece]

per rules

[Blackson187]

Per was clearly the second best freestyler oh his time... behind Mullen of course. His deck graphic was incredible as well... as was Mullen's.

[flip1990]

Per's parts is very good. Kevin harris's wasnt though.

[Farquhar]

Kevins part had good skating it was just edited in a strange way

[abortabrasio]

Yeah, i was there in the premier night in Germany/Cologne. I love this Video. So Classic. Damn i was so young as i seen this the first time.

[scapomusic]

me too!!and i finally i find it again!!cool!

[flip1990]

Hmm I compared to mullens rubbish heap part its ok. I like per welinders handstand sidewinder.

[mattgokey]

we just wont talk about how good mullen is.

[mattgokey]

when hariss is skatin, adn the explosion goes off, and he does that oldschool kickflip then like 546543645 pivots thats sickkkkk

people dont realize that freestyle skatboarding is the most difficult to perform and master. to be able to flow like that, its incredible.
