Salba - Wheels Of Fire

[cmonty72]

The only thing that sucks about our era is...... we're old now.

[kopingkiller]

It should be a national law that every city has a skatepark as bad ass as this!!!

[11yearoldscene]

i like johnny cash,romones(sorry spelled that wrong),hank williams 3 and sr.and every other band singer along those lines.

[AlmostFLIPable]

i live right next to this dude AWESOME!!!!

[kansasoutdoorsnetwok]

pipe line bitches

[NorthParkLocals]

He lives up the street from me ahaha chill dude!

[transformingninja]

How can anyone dislike S. Alba?

[Weatherby378]

Does anyone know what music is playing near the end of the Wheels of Fire vid when he's skating in that 180-degree pipe?

[alexamy72]

@Weatherby378 360 degree. not 180. :P lol

[SSDecontrol94]

i only skate oldschool, and when ever kids see my board they always say "hey! do you like rodney mullen!"

skaters no are so blind to anything past 99'

they dont appreciate Powell or Vision or Santa Cruz or Madrid

[DeathRiderHDG]

does anybody have a clip of the Arizona Bowl session with the organ music in the backround?

[kriz716]

My favorite Skate film. I think the best scene is Salba skating the Backyard pool. Tail stall into a rocknroll into a backside grind he really could combine tricks 3 consecutive walls. Who's playing the music in that scene? It's completely genre less.

[socksprod]

1986 I was 9,just about the whole reason I started skating...

[Citizenkill]

i got the whole soundtrack!

[AcidCakes]

The band is "Screaming Lord Salba, and the Blue Flames".

[deathbypowerglove]

Skateboarding looked so much more fun in these videos

it always will be....but skate videos and such are almost copies these days

[dienpa]

im 16, and i rather hav an old skate than a nu one!!! love natas kaupas

[neurocytohemotoxic]

This clip would be sick if it wasn't for the ridiculous slow motion.

[piterpunx]

@neurocytohemotoxic slow motion is old school ;)

[almore1999]

Who plays the song?

[toymachineskater14]

salbas band

[MADROCKS212]

the golden age..punk rock, pools, and uplands skatepark..i wished i id seen that place with with my own eyes.

[KingJamesai3]

i know what you mean

[pandapimpbabys]

@MADROCKS212 Lol, me, my friend, punk metal, and 6 40 year old pool shredders. Thats how my bowl seshes are. Everyday. i love life <3

[FOD9]

thats skating! The rest is some other sport.

[rapirostyle1]

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[BackRoadsWine]

I remember watching him utterly destroy the combi pool and hitting ten o'clock in the pool over and over. Remember the stickers way up on the ceiling?

[pablocruz12]

How do you hit 10 o'clock in a pool? ha! Yeah I miss skating like that, that is way we used to skate. it was just flat out shredding back then it was all about style and aggression! Not that skating now isn't aggressive but then it was more based on surfing,as it should be! See I can picture him doing that on a wave.

[ItarareItapeva]

80´s...good times! Times of Christian Hosoi and Natas Kaupas, my 2 favourites American skaters in that time. Too, In that time, here in Brazil we had god skaters, like Rui Muleque, beto or die (my favourite brazilian deck- by lifestyle), fernandinho batman, Cupim, Mureta, Alexandre Ribeiro, Sérgio negrão,tron and others. Too, I remember that I had a deck of rob roskop (my favourite), trucks tracker (I dreamed of having a Gullwing) and santa cruz's wheels. (U.S. products were expensive)

[ItarareItapeva]

It's natural that the Americans elect an American, and of course, that a Brazilian say "Bob!". I remember the Rodney Mullen, in the 80s, as the king of the freestyle mode and Tony Hawk in vertical. But, to elect the best of all, I think we have to see who was the best overall (freestyle, street, vert ramp and mega). Mullen is the king on the ground and I think in vert, is Bob. Perhaps, by the history of the skateboard, Tony Hawk is the best in general?...(Or, who knows...Hosoi?)

[ItarareItapeva]

80's... In that time, here in Brazil, we

only watching on tv, Hosoi and Hawk disputing the hegemony of the global skateboarding, and dreaming to see, in a day, a Brazilian skater in this place. The time has passed and the dream became a reality ... Bob Burnquist, Sandro Dias, Alex Carolino, Lincon Ueda, among many others at the top of the world skating! What a pride! (we can not forget about the older Brazilians skaters that are part of this, too)

[ItarareItapeva]

The Kings...

soccer = Pelé, basketball = Michael Jordan, tenis = Roger Federer, surfboarding = kelly Slater, skateboarding = Tony Hawk or Bob Burnquist? (For me, is Bob. And for you? Who is the king?)

[KingJamesai3]

i would have to say either the gonz, koston, or prod, aww i dont know that is a hard question :)

[ItarareItapeva]

Hello. I'm from São Paulo-SP, Brazil (the

South America's skateboarding capital) and in the 80's I saw the fight between Cristian Hosoi and Tony Hawk for the world hegemony. In that time, sure, we only dreamed, but oday, I'm very proud to know that Bob Burnquist is the 'Pelé'(the King) of the skateboarding, like the Brazilian skateboarding is on the top of the world. (unfortuneately it still not happened with the Brazilian surfboarding). PS- Sorry 4 my bad english.

[piperider80]

The bird fippr is spidey, Eric Nash,The late Great Cris Robison,Micke Alba And Me Tim Galvan are in this clip along with Salba.Long live OG Badlanders

[renerenerene111]

[skater5598]

@renerenerene111 i agree and im 13

its cuz i love pool skating soi thaught i may aswel get an old school board and once i tried my kieth meek slasher i will never came back

[hardcoreshitCB]

salba has always been my favorite pool skater besides jay adams. jay adams comes first just because he basically invented hardcore skateboarding as we "knew" it. now it doesnt exist unless yer keepin it real and old school like me. ripping skater rad fuckin part!

[auldsk8r]

Salba is still one of the best skaters around.

[alstiboy]

what song is this?

[skaterboy190]

i kinda know salba his son is my friend

[tar1982]

Sure he is.

[skaterboy190]

he lives lives down the the street from me

[mateojulio]

Wao.. what a coincidense.. he's my friend too!!

[BobBurnnquist]

well me too! a huh huh

[jedwards1975]

damn.. pipeline.. i have my id card still hahahaha

fucking shame man..

[nightowl8936]

The best part is how he flips the bird about 10 seconds into the video. Its like we're not good enough to even watch him skate.

[Mauphynne]

that birdy flipper was not salba.

[nightowl8936]

"that birdy flipper was not salba"

Oh. I stand corrected. Whoever he is, he's defiant anyway. He don't care what anyone thinks. He's alright.

[lemonite1]

@Mauphynne I think it's Rick "Spidey" Demontrand. Does anyone know what happened to hime?

[nkmcfrln]

@lemonite1 He quit. Typical skater from California i.e. a fashion victim. He didn't like what your average cookie cut-out skater was wearing around 1990. I'm serious. I liked him too, but give me a break.

[afroman9390]

every time i go to a skate vid there is always some retard asking what the song is

[pazso]

retard? what did you practice that looking in the mirror? good boy

[pentagramhands]

Screaming Lord Salba and His Heavy Friends!!! I have this same video up, ripped from the DVD. Sounds and looks GREAT!!! Check it out!

[BadlanderJon]

the song is called Flame Fatale by the Flamethrowers

[newporno]

Everything he does is huge...

[eksit101]

I had my yellow card! Yeah I had for a few months before they closed Pipeline. . .

[trip2dafunk]

salba is sick, he was skating the santa cruz park when I was there today, riping the kidney pool to pieces..the man is a classic....the Geezer is still rolling tuff

[wintercheese]

wats the song

[tarafdar12]

jessica alba's cousin

[riotch1]

That park was awesome. I love the one move they replay like 4x when salba grinds the side of the pipe on the way down.

[eweezy13]

didn'y peopel kill themselves on this pipe?

[StickyMike]

I killed myself on that pipe.

[eweezy13]

i'm not suprised, my dad says he fell for what he thought was going to be the usual fall, but i guess he was in the air for double or more that.

[larrypee]

who cares all we want to do is fuck jessica alba

[eweezy13]

maybe thats just you?

[eweezy13]
