Came here to watch a sweet video of Tales of Terror and they had to ruin it by mixing in all of this video of skateboarding. Who the hell wants to see these amateurs? This is "old School"? I didn't see one of these teenagers do a coffin!
Awesome, skating first and foremost should be about fun....and honestly, time machine or not i doubt many technical skills new kids would have a chance at being a pro back then, vert, pools, wall rides and launch ramps/street and variety of skills mattered then, not so much now, kickflip and popsicle stick boards with no character, kids who carry thier boards to skate at an enclosed climate controlled park indoors, fuck that shit..just go fucking skate
if i could go back in time i would've been pro there all the stuff they do is easy and fun except for the handstand shit, it was awesome back then if i could travel in time i would. now days , if you do somthing unethical or old school they'd say that you suck or somthing.
In addition to the "handstand shit" street skating was mostly about launching big air tricks off of big kicker ramps, which was also hard. Wall rides weren't easy either, or doing what you typically do now on a 10 inch wide board with no nose. You wouldn't have been pro back then.

I used to wear my socks like rodney mullen (2 pairs even) and as a result, my ankle hair is bald on the outsides of my legs.
But it was worth it.

I hate to be blasphemous, but that band was horrible no matter what your taste or disposition may be. That was inexcusable garbage.
Loved the skating though.

I had a Jesse Martinez SMA Rocco Division deck in 1988. That was the year I stopped skating Powell and got all into Rocco pre-World products.
