H Street Skateboards Ron Allen Hokus Pokus

[sinebass808]

Whoa, @ 2:00 he doesn't even nose-manny the whole bench. My how things have changed.

[Nojikuzus]

Wow, Ron skating some of the classic East Bay hot spots! Skated there many days with Ron! Oakland Tech, RSF UC Berkeley, Tennis Courts & much more!

Good times!

[cf9797]

hey hes my skate coach

[bizzmarky76]

Ron had a great One-Foot, no one shot 'em straight upward like that guy. That shit is suicide.

[TheRalphus666]

@bizzmarky76 why are people calling it a one-foot we called it an ollie north back around when this video was made

[MrBizzmarky76]

@TheRalphus666 I heard em called Ollie Norths back in the day too, I just always called them one foots, one footers, one foot tail grabs etc.



[sinebass808]

@TheRalphus666

They were originally "called one-foot ollies" until around 1988 when Thrasher or TWS featured a cartoon of Colonel Oliver North doing a one-foot ollie. The caption read: "Ollie North" The name just stuck!

[TheRalphus666]

@sinebass808 Interesting,thanks for the info

[sundarvs108]

[shoestring48hr2008]
