[manxind]

[DanGilmrtin]

i wouldn't mind living in a bad neighborhood if it was still like this lol

[JulieBrondeel]

woow the downhiller at the end :D so cool.

[CampyNeighbor]

Who the hell is hairy homeboy that fell on his ass.....not team Zephyr, right?

[JordanTurnerScoots]

1:04 the birth of bmx riding ;)

[BlackLabelFREAK]

@JordanTurnerScoots haha sick :) i was thinkin the same thing hahah

[moshmartyr]

sweet

[DejanGrilc]

lowrider bike in the pool, that's just awesome!

[MrDoMiniCanPrinCe881]

@withermint And my dad was michael jacksons lawyer

[weststreetbikes]

I gotta applaude there efforts, they cleaned out an entire pool full of crap just to skate it, who would do even half that today? sick stuff!!

[MrFibertiger]

1:05 prelude to bmx

[withermint]

I still can't believe my dad used to hang with the z-boys lol! He's not cool enough! hahaa

[123pineapplehead]

@withermint  my dad hanged with the z-boys also!!

[withermint]

@123pineapplehead Haha super crazy.

[mizkuzi87]

pretty cool how z-boys sneaked to pool to just skate @_@

[keanoscarermitano619]

@mizkuzi87 not only skate but smoked joints dude. ;)

[GeRmAnBoMbErBoY]

Nowadays, kids can't be this original, this down to earth, this awesome, and have this kind of swag cuz they're too busy sitting in the house playing video games, being forced to cram ADD meds down their throat, and have absolutely no sense of identity. It's a god damn shame.

[Mrburton35]

im 16 and i'd do anything to skate with these guys or skate back then..

[znb324]

any1 else here tony avla is in jail in mexico

[lesterclaypool1]

@znb324

Interesting rumour but it's not true, because he didn't call collect yesterday to inform my wife about Chris Cahill's death. I think that someone has given you a really muddled version of Jay Adam's jail time and Chris Cahill's Mexico sabattical with Alva as the star.

[benjimacfly]

i'm bringing the 70's back who are with me?

[bltoliver13]

@benjimacfly I'm totally in! Who needs 3d tv anyways lets get out and skate

[surferaroulet]

@benjimacfly me the first ;) old school is the best

[MrAlphaTT]

@benjimacfly if only our generation would stop doing drugs and go outside every once in a while...

[sheshaman]

My god.... I Still can't imagine to be with them there in 70's and created immortal part of the skateboarding history! Z-Boys should still keep together, no matter what!They togheter are like o father of skateboarding in this planet.

[foreversk8boy]

this is what i call fun...

[jokamund]

1:14 looks like they pioneered bmx too

[dominic397]

the 6 dislikes were from pool owners

[FrikinGay99]

@dominic397 No they weren't. This is from the 70's. They aren't going to care this many years later.

[blakeyfaz]

my right ear feels so lonely :(

[NorthShoreAllDayLong]

what movie or documentry is this from i herd ns pipeline at the ned dose anyone no plz??

[madercic3aolcom]

@NorthShoreAllDayLong It's from the movie "Super Session". Sometimes it's available on eBay or you can get from actionsportsvideo . com

[FrikinGay99]

@NorthShoreAllDayLong Read the title or ACTUALLY watch the video and you might find out.

[RastafariPoet]

DED-I-FUCKING-CATION



[KermitDashizz]

[fairlystupidjello]

[cky12qxz]

[Wolf4408]

[thissitesucks74]

@Wolf4408 Chances are he is,I used to work at Kmart when I was a kid and holy shit,I never knew that people like some of the customers that shopped there could exist in society!!

[easkateman]

I remember doing this whe i was young :)

[859jack]

man these guys are legends. no fooy146 bmx came from motocross back in the 70's. 

[Fooy146]

did the zboys also invent the bmx or bikes or the freestyle stuff on bikes.did they?

[wweqas]

my dad knew jay adams

[cagirlie]

that is beauty.

[Valo666Lover]

Dude how come I never see anyone skate like this anymore? These guys were amazing

[menospeakyenglish]

@Valo666Lover people still skate pools homeslice

[BabySaSQuatch14]

I'm a skateboarder, I skateboard because the z-boys inspired me, I know who the z-boys are and I love the way they skate, "sidewalk surfing!" hell yeah!

[ratchetrockon]

Lol its funny because most skaters now a days don't even know who the Z-boyz were..

[sk84gabs]

i wish i could go back in time with my board and bust a treflip

[Koklexo]

mullen is jesus and those guys are the gods of skate

[jaspermatty]

Jay's fearless, man--he must be going 45 mph down that hill--CRAZY!

[112alexia]

imagine going down that hill like jay did and just eating it? ehhh that hurts. i know because i have done that before. i fucked up my shoulder bad. but it was fun so its all good. haha XP

[MrThrashingmad666]

@112alexia I did too hahaha facefirst slid like 5 feet or more on my face bit a hole through my lip and it was all ripped up n shit I did catch myself but it was too late and I also skinned my right hand almost to bone I felt no pain at all whatsoever but I couldnt breathe at first cuz I fell and it knocked the wind outta me haha I still bomb hills all the time

[pooslug]

@MrThrashingmad666 yea man just today i skidded at least 12 metres on my back and got a mild cuncussion

[MrThrashingmad666]

@pooslug ahhh nice one!

[qmfosejs]

that kid must have pioneered BMX too o_O

[THISISNOTURS]

whats the song?

[gorelockssk8gang]

how old is this

[quinnb123]

Jay still comes out to the local punk shows on O'ahu, Hawaii is the shit for surfing and skating, but don't come here, too crowded.

[tom3999]

lol soo expecting bert reynolds to come out of the house of the second pool and be like " AY! GET OFF MY PROPERTY"

[korvidkrow96]

3 things i would love...

to live in the 70's, to have one of those sweet old school boards, and to be a part of the z-boys.

my life would officially be the best.

[shittyshit69]

i wish hal jepsen or dennis dragon, whoever owns the rights to the music would put it all out from these classic surf and skate films. shit shreds!

[sodomite101]

what songs are played in this video????

[IsophieProduction]

if we all try to recreate the 70s i think it would work. everyone want's the 700's back... but what they don't realize is that the 70's is only a time-period... we just got to recreate that feeling, the passion and TAKE the freedom BACK! :D

[pyrosies66613]

@IsophieProduction you high? i think you're talking out of your ass.

[IsophieProduction]

@pyrosies66613

No, I was not high, I don't do drugs or anything. That was inapropriate and rude by you to say. If you got nothing nice to say I would recommend you not to comment on other people's opinion, it just makes you sound stupid. Okay?

[stag40]

@pyrosies66613 Even if he was, so the fuck what. What's it to you. You sound like some ignorant anti-drug right-wing conservative sub-human.

[OfficialAvrilArrow]

@IsophieProduction so .. lets grow our hair back. smoke weed. be trustworthy. fuck girls. and SKATE

[MrSk1111]

@IsophieProduction Well stated- it's all about freedom. I'm 48 and still ride pools. Believe me, it is just a state of mind. The people I meet at parks these days are super cool - and it's a lot more like the 70's than a younger person might think. The big difference between now and then, is that all of the technology of the day is robbing us of our humanity- life was much simpler before computers and cell phones.

[coleishere8]

f*** the 21st century,take us back to the 70s

[gsaidhi]

jay adams is awesome he`s the one who made the sport look like fun and not like you had to work.

[TheAxlrose103]

before i die i want to meet the z boys they're the inspiration that started skateboarding "jay adams is recognized as the spark that ignited the sport of skateboarding" - original seed

[hillelslovakrip]

@TheAxlrose103 yeh thanks the quote at the end of lords of dogtown weve all seen the movie and we all read that quote at the end

[mofugulo]

foda, simplesmente foda essa é a essencia.

[TheSuperBrett]

I shoulda been born in the 70's

[IsophieProduction]

@TheSuperBrett

many who feel the same thing

[sclapione]

@TheSuperBrett The guys were born in the 60s (duh )

[benjimacfly]

i would do anything to be jay adams just fore one day!

[BLONDEAGUA]

It takes a lot more skill, creativity, talent and physical aptitude to do this then for some big black guy with hands the size of mitts and giantism (thus the towering heights) to jump two feet to make a basket!

[197001]

Whats that first sooooong?

[iBoyramirezz]

These guys are the reason I wake up every morning to carve and bomb hills.

[RuthlessBruttal]

Lol at 1:40 "15 year old Jay Adams is hot and has style." Haha

[benjimacfly]

why coudn´t the 70´s be for ever?

[vatoslocos321]

@benjimacfly i was born in the 80s but im in love with 70s too lol- lets bring it back!!

[IsophieProduction]

@benjimacfly

:D

[zk8erpunk007]

@benjimacfly all good things must come to an edn

[Shaboobuhwogan]

@benjimacfly I wonder the same thing everyday and im 17 haha skating surfing music and my chick wouldnt rag on me for having long hair haha.

[Brighttight]

@benjimacfly

It has 70 likes haha.

[lesterclaypool1]

@benjimacfly

'Cause we 70's kids had to grow up and marry and have you little dudes so that the fun could continue.

[FrikinGay99]

@lesterclaypool1 serious guy..

[wowsux97]

@lesterclaypool1 Your comment is old but i have got to say that is the best reply to any comment ive seen in ages :D

[lesterclaypool1]

@wowsux97

Thanks, little Brah.

Keep on rockin' in the free world.

[gambadude]

songs?

[CatspitProductions]

Looks like some pretty cool old school footage.

[shittyshit69]

they got this and two other hal jepsen surf flicks 3 for ten bucks on the surfer mag site, the other two that come with super session have some skate footage and they also have skateboard madness for $10 which is pretty good too.

[Megadedly]

I have a Alva board and a Dogtown board.

[theridelife]

early bmx dope

[TonyHawkLookalike]

Wow there r always some uptights who have to throw out names of later generation skaters who have a bigger bag of tricks. Why are those dudes so good compared to the dogtowners? They had the luxury of seeing what could be done on and then improved on it. All the 80s skaters saw the barriers broken by the 70s guys and then did it better. And the zBoys? They had the luxury of what started in the 50s: Marty McFly skating away from Biff on metal wheels. Please... Figure it out haters...

[ryanking909780]

Jay adams was the orginal zboy....whats with "z-boyz AND jay adams"????

[hoozanes]

i hav a skatebord and i liike too rhide it

owtside on tha sidwalk butt me not alowd

too go on my skatboord withe noo hellmit

ii mite crak my fuckin hed open

[Ruzmanga]

Learn to roll when you fall. You won't hurt yourself so bad. Oh, and learn to spell check.

[IEATLAVA21]

not that funny dude... dont post dumb shit on a video about the zboys

[hoozanes]

@IEATLAVA21 why?

[IEATLAVA21]

because they are like the best skaters ever.. they are so influential to the skating world today to make fun of something on their video is oober offencive man

[big2chereez]

true dat brotha

[ADAMSONOFMAN1]

@IEATLAVA21 shut the fuck up.

[IEATLAVA21]

why should i shut the fuck up blow me big guy you go out and be as good as the z boys and make it from nothing to everything like them and then you can start telling me to shut up.. i respect the shit outta these guys

[ADAMSONOFMAN1]

@IEATLAVA21 why don't you go suck on their dicks. you'll probably like it.

[IEATLAVA21]

do you not like the z boys or something? whats your problem?

[Ska8rparty]

this is cool, i wish i had a pool or halfpipe to skate because flat ground gets boring and i suck at street

[FatalFrame06]

What a boring video..i bet if rodney mullen shown up his skills during that time..they would could him GOD..Am i wrong?no.thats the truth.

[beenyj]

@FatalFrame06 these guys are way more gnarly than mullen, they're the pioneers of skating, they're the gods

[ckyfanrick]

@beenyj dude mullen was in the same shit as this... ever heard of the bones brigade faggot

[tom3999]

lol, true mullens shit at pool@beenyj 

[acadx]

@beenyj

why dis rodney i love jay and tony too but rodney is fucking rad

[hilerc]

@beenyj okay but let's not put down Mullen. Remember who invented almost every trick you see on the streets today.

[idiooot1]

Rodney mullen was maybe 5-6 years old when this was recorded.. and without these guys none of the pros today would be famous..

[Mrbichslap]

@idiooot1

True shit there.

wasnt it tony alva or jay adams who taught tony hawk?

[big2chereez]

na bra it was stacy peralta

[Mrbichslap]

ah k.

he was best right?

[patriotsruulee123]

it the stacy guy i think

[agginym]

@patriotsruulee123 you mean stacy peralta? show some respect to the legends. jay adams is god.

[ThePitchmister]

They hadn't a clue of what they were about to give to the world. These guys are my heroes.

[reece292]

do they still make swiming pools like that?

[juanpep]

they were using skatebords or longboards?

[Zombiekid69]

Skateboards, but the wheels they used are now usually longboard wheels. Also the style of the boards are longboard style.

[MrSk1111]

@Zombiekid69 They only used that style board in the very begining. When kick-tail boards emerged, performance increased quickly. The wheels got harder as time went on- Tunnel Rocks, Green Kryptonics, Sims Snakes, G&S YOYO's, etc. The boards got plenty wide too. By the beginning of 1978, I was riding a 10" wide Dogtown deck- the only problem was NO CONCAVE..........

[baconrox22]

haha wtf

[Landsmatter]

What do you mean RIP???????

[Alx38000]

Jay adams RIP ='(

[Zombiekid69]

Old school rules

[bigfri5]

@Zombiekid69 no doubt

[Tricksrules]

[andresscaraballo]

[CZsk8therCZ]

[sick149kids]

[inhbtnt]

[atthecp13]

[LieutenantAldoRaine]

[tonyalvafan1]

[Eddddddd94]

[Eddddddd94]

WOW! what was he like?

[tonyalvafan1]

[afiq360skatevids]

[greeenday10]

[ComePlayFlash]

[k4rv1]

[rocktoonist4567]

totally awsome seeing these guys in their prime and its definantly would have been awsome to be there and starting this

[thesethingz]

Jay was the shit!! EXCELLENT footage! Thanks for posting this!

[Beardmania]

At 2:30. That was me biffing. Even back then I was going bald! Too much drugs I guess...

[darian1112]

really?

[TheCoffeeandafag]

@darian1112 yea really? you skated with jay! or in the presence of jay.. thats still sick!

[k4rv1]

lmao :D

[whitewitchoz]

I wish I could go back in time and just hang out with those guys.

[Smacajoni]

True. This is real old skool =]

[ItsNotJackieChan]

It'd be so fun to be one of the original pool skaters.

[loafdapesholmes]

this video at the time must of been just so RADICAL and from another dimension even the early BMXers are on this rare priceless clip.

[xtaikurix]

damn, back in day skateboarding was so cool, i wish i could skate with jay adams some day.

[21925skater]

this video has to be rare! i put this in my favorites

[killersurf]

my dad use to know jay adams, my dads a surfer though his been in bra boys since he was 19... skating has evolved a shit load since then. it was amazing how they got it into a huge sport. dahlberg surfboards ( what i ride) and (blind skateboards)

[darian1112]

sick

[toothblue6947]

god skating back then was so gay

[windex1122]

skating right now is so gay

[die5456]

screw you!!!!!!

[zosothedestroyer]

yup yup

[DYLANinja]

Only that shitty trick stuff they call skating

carving and bowls is still legit bro

[mcxznbv]

it always will be bro. people these days are all about what you can do down x many steps. im 14 and i know that all thas is bullshit. good skating starts with style, not tricks. the ultimate trick is doing something amzing and look good doing it. because every joe can do a 360 flip or whathaveyou. but if you watch newer skate videos, almost all the tricks are sloppy, etc.

[kaulitzforlife]

I kinda agree street skating is nice but its not how it all began

[SpontaneousBliss]

your an idiot. skating was way better back in the day. thats why i sold my Plan B and bought a z flex jay adams design about 6 years ago. im still rockin that board. thrashed as shit but it has soul.
