I'm a longboarder and it just proves that all skating, longboarding, street, bowl, park anything, has no boundries and its all about freestyling, being yourself and being unique.
I just picked up a Ray Barbee Powell Peralta reissue with Indy 169s(Bones Hardcore Bushings) :) I love the old school heft of it....It glides through turns like butter.
I did no complies for ages too, Ray Barbie had that smoothness we all tried to emulate. It was like you learned a trick then it took even longer to get it dialed in like it was pure expression, absent any hesitation, Ray looked like that in this video. Those were simpler times for skaters.
I was shopping one day with my mark gonazales vision, some dude points at it and says "dude! Is that a vision?! Man this is a board! Not like those new boards man, its like theyre made for fucking dancing!" Man I loved his comment, skaters from back then know their shit man.
@tweeezl dude, I met him when they premiered ban this in london..he stole my cap!..and was a really cool guy, approachable and polite...and if I remember rightly he attempted what at the time was a huge handrail outside the cinema..still love his style - proper flows.
@TheUnderdogzX it must have been in 1989 when it was released - but to be honest I couldn't tell you a date (although I seem to remember it being autumn??) our local skate store organised a coach trip (they also did for hocus pocus I seem to remember) so we all piled up to London and checked out slam city before the film..thats all I can remember I'm afraid!
this is real skateboarding unlike most kids nowadays who just skate because it's mainstream and they think it's cool, they dont really do it for the love of it they do it because it became popular and they try to fit in when their really just faggots who claim to be skateboarders and it pisses me off.
im 15 and this is hella cool, watching this months ago made me want to leanr no comply 180's, the 80's seemed cooler in terms of skating since innovation was easier, now a days you gotta do 3 half flips and a 180 switch down a fat stairset to get wows
idk if theres no soul in it anymore im not mister pro but i enjoy skating and doing it everyday, and skateboarding is not just for watching it doesnt matter who enjoys it around you as long as you like how you skate thats what its all about isnt it?
you want and do whatever tricks you want. It's a sport now. It's all about competition, you go to a skatepark, noones smiling laughing and having a good time, everyone sits around and judges everyone elses skating as if its really even possible.....
Skateboarding today kindof sucks and its boring as hell to watch. Every skateboarder does the same tricks the same way on the same terrain to the same music wearing the same clothes. You cant tell one from the other as far as style goes. But you can totally tell when it comes to the older skateboarders. Mark Gonzales, Tommy Guerrero, Ray Barbee and Vallely have TOTALLY different styles from each other. That's what makes skateboarding great. You can be whoever you want to be, dress however
I agree, skating is obviously not how it used to be especially how trendy it is now and the fashion is horrible, People like Ryan Sheckler and P Rod make me fuckin sick with their Lambos and Jaguars and diamond earrings, give me a break, thats not what skateboarding was about back then, That shit was RAW!
I challenge any new school skater to use a board like that and still do the tricks that they do now. Beyond that I challenge any skater to skate like this. Smooth, organic, consistent. He makes it look like he's just friggin walking along the street.
Ray Barbee is the one who inspired me to keep it up back in the day, although I couldn't even ollie. :( It was really all about having fun skating with my friends, not doing insane moves to show off... Those were the days.
@InwardFingerCrew Are you kidding me dude this is real skating the skate industry changed for the worst after the 80's and maybe 90's were over nowadays theirs so many dudes claiming to skate but their not doing it for the love of skateboarding they do it just to look cool fit in and get noticed by girls and thats what pisses me off like don't skate if you don't truly love it.
im 11 and just wanted 2 know........ my 17 year old brother says on my varial heels if i only land with one foot and the other foot hits da ground 4 only half a second it doesnt count... is dat true?
this is what skating is supposed to be....but todays fuckin fame hungry,obsessed with "who lands what cleaner",have an "outfit" JUST to skate in kids have ruined it beyond repair ....no worries kids just slap on some gangsta wear,some DC's, and look cool standing around in chick pants at your skatepark....us real skaters will keep doin what we're doin
what happens now simply is evolution dudes. the kids nowadays do all things like that they start doing the impossible - a trick that allmost nobody standet when i was young...
This is amazing. It's almost like a dance because of his fluidity (idk if that's even a word). It's certainly more interesting to watch than seeing 12 year old kids doing "nightmaredaydreamdiscohospitalquadruple flips"
I'm not a skateboarder and I don't hang out with skateboarders. I do watch skateboarding videos from time to time though and this is one of the few times where I really felt connected with the skateboarder. He has a style and flow to his skateboarding. Great composition and choice of music as well as editing. Great Job Man!
hahaha when everyone got all uptight and sketchy and thuggo, Barbee just got more relaxed, buttery, and smiley. Check out his sick frontside flips in the 411 debut...
i started skating about five years ago and this was way before my, but also i understand that this right here is real skateboarding i mean it's self expression of one's feeling and motions. i'd rather watch this then some dude throw him self down handrails and sets. it's the real skateboarding i think that matters but these days it's all about the steeziest tre's. look man if you got somde bomb ass tre's and switch lazer then shit no disrespect. but my point is so do i but i appriciate this!
i love watching skateboarders, and longboarders for that matter, who have that really fluid motion, everything looks so effortless. Makes me want to go out and skate to my hearts content even though I suck. Just magical.
Today's society acts like black skateboarders have just arrived, but the truth is that we have been around just as long as white skateboarders. It's only at the turn of the century that we are starting to be recognized for it. Even today I still skate. I'm 26 and I wish these syle of skaters would come back. When skaters were able to just skate for fun and not worry about all the politics of getting sponsored and shit. Much love to the O. G. skaters in the world. I miss days like this.
@clwhite1510 dude gtfo of here with your black skaters not being recognized this dude was the man back in the 80s. why does it always have to be about race, cant you see that this type of attitude is what keeps racism alive. quit thinking that the white man always has a synical plan to degrade you because they dont. nowadays race doesnt matter but this shit just keeps it going
@emptyhalo23 Did you even read his comment it has nothing to do with "thinking that the white man always has a synical plan to degrade". All he's saying is alot of people THINK that black people are just getting in to skateboarding. His comment had nothing to do with talking about "the white man" as you put it.
Growing up a skater in the 80's, I appreciate this style way more than quadruple heelflips over 20 steps. There's very little soul in today's skating.
@TRE1275 some one quadriple heelflipped a 20 step? who? kidding. im 17 years old and i kinda agree with you. when i go to skateparks it seems like everyone looks the same,and do the same tricks. It seems like most skaters have the same style. I wish i could just cruise the streets and bust no-comply like Ray. just saying
@lethalyoshie if you have the fun transition skating but street skating doesnt have soul really i agree with @TRE1275 but the town i live in is all transition skaters and they are all stoked on having fun they dont care street skating doesnt seem the same
I was never a skater. A couple of friends were kind of. In 1990 or 1991 I saw a video of Ray Barbee which might have been this one, and I don't think I've seen anything since that said more to me about why my friends skated.
man he did alot of 43 to variations regular,shiftie,shiftie 360, wraparound,backside shiftie.....the good old days just havin fun no switch 540 flips down 20 stairs
Remember Powell-Peralta came out with boneite which was supposed to make the board alot tougher to break.My buddy had one that broke so we looked at this boneite shit and all it was just a piece of tar paper in between the laminate
Its crazy when you look at this video and see how different skating was back then, but even now you see some thing's that have smoothly made a transition into modern day street skating
@Ekilla9402 if u look at the h street vids, world industries' rubbish heap, and blind's video days u can see it even more of a street vibe more reminiscent. wen boards first had double kick and a long nose(it seems this shape lasted only from 89-91. after that boards had rounded tails and noses and just got smaller from their)
@ukuleleprodigy Thats called a frontside Rock Walk. A very fluid one at that. Small nose wheelie and shift the backside of the board around 180 and as soon as the back wheels hit the front comes off the ground completing a 360. I used to do these constantly , front side and backside. If you gain enough speend and enough leg pressure you can get the board completely off the ground for a full 360 rotation and continue on.
what's the trick at 1:14 ? Looks similar to a bigspin but different. with a bigspin the board goes 360 and the body goes 180. His body went 360 though and the board went 540?
@freezazoid: It's called a Gazelle Shove-It, 540 Shove-It with the Body doing a 360 body varial - though actually most of the time it's more of a 270 body varial with the board going 450 degrees and then the last 90 degrees as a 90 degree revert on the back truck. It was actually a freestyle move, but Barbee did those a lot back then. You can sometimes see Rodney Mullen do them - even frontside, which is insanely hard imho, but looks even better.
@rmns1234 Thanks for the info bro. Modern day skaters are all flip tricks and stairs except for a handful of guys. I'd like to see somebody at the berricks try to do that trick: 1:14 (well a lot of them probably could, first try, but you never see it?!)
@freezazoid Nope , that is what we called a 360 Nose shoevit. What he did there was a small nose wheelie then with his back foot kicked the board into a lateral spin. At the exact same time he jumped off the front of the board spinning his body 360. Back in the day there were many versions of this. His is so smooth it almost fools the eye.
what type of board is this? do they still make them, im so inspired by this video

@TRE1275 One could compare the lack of soul in skateboarding today to the lack of soul in music also. Coincidence? I hope not.

This video part inspired me for years. Barbee's style heavily influenced my own and I still get a thrill watching it today 20 years later.

Young Barbee! This song sucks. Why couldn't they have just used The Cure's original version of Like Cockatoos?

I was never a skater. A couple of friends were kind of. In 1990 or 1991 I saw a video of Ray Barbee which might have been this one, and I don't think I've seen anything since that said more to me about why my friends skated.

Remember Powell-Peralta came out with boneite which was supposed to make the board alot tougher to break.My buddy had one that broke so we looked at this boneite shit and all it was just a piece of tar paper in between the laminate

Its crazy when you look at this video and see how different skating was back then, but even now you see some thing's that have smoothly made a transition into modern day street skating
Ekilla9402 1 year ago
@Ekilla9402 if u look at the h street vids, world industries' rubbish heap, and blind's video days u can see it even more of a street vibe more reminiscent. wen boards first had double kick and a long nose(it seems this shape lasted only from 89-91. after that boards had rounded tails and noses and just got smaller from their)

what that called at 0:18?
ukuleleprodigy 1 year ago
@ukuleleprodigy Thats called a frontside Rock Walk. A very fluid one at that. Small nose wheelie and shift the backside of the board around 180 and as soon as the back wheels hit the front comes off the ground completing a 360. I used to do these constantly , front side and backside. If you gain enough speend and enough leg pressure you can get the board completely off the ground for a full 360 rotation and continue on.

CassettePlaya1 1 year ago
what's the trick at 1:14 ? Looks similar to a bigspin but different. with a bigspin the board goes 360 and the body goes 180. His body went 360 though and the board went 540?
freezazoid 1 year ago
@freezazoid: It's called a Gazelle Shove-It, 540 Shove-It with the Body doing a 360 body varial - though actually most of the time it's more of a 270 body varial with the board going 450 degrees and then the last 90 degrees as a 90 degree revert on the back truck. It was actually a freestyle move, but Barbee did those a lot back then. You can sometimes see Rodney Mullen do them - even frontside, which is insanely hard imho, but looks even better.
rmns1234 1 year ago
@rmns1234 Thanks for the info bro. Modern day skaters are all flip tricks and stairs except for a handful of guys. I'd like to see somebody at the berricks try to do that trick: 1:14 (well a lot of them probably could, first try, but you never see it?!)
freezazoid 1 year ago
@freezazoid Nope , that is what we called a 360 Nose shoevit. What he did there was a small nose wheelie then with his back foot kicked the board into a lateral spin. At the exact same time he jumped off the front of the board spinning his body 360. Back in the day there were many versions of this. His is so smooth it almost fools the eye.
