JimVincent, no shame in that! The Lance goofs were legend and instrumental in relaxing.
We'd kill ourselves in the heat, working our way up hill many times, showing off for the girls, etc. Some of the most fun was being exhausted and rolling back home doing nonsense like that.
@JimVincent I skate Hill's 1991 deck with the Ear graphics, I picked it up for $70, still in shrink wrap. You can pick up some great old school decks pretty cheap.
Simply awesome! I use to watch this tape (still have it) all the time and get pumped to go out skating. I always thought Frankie's segment was the best - he wasn't the smoothest, just the fuckin craziest!
The good old days when the people with skateboards were actually skaters.
Now everyone and their dog has a board. 85% carry the board more than ride it and couldn't ride it if they wanted to because they're too busy trying keep their sister's pants at the perfect hip level, aside from the ridiculous Top Gun sunglasses getting in the way. Of those who ride, only 2% have it in their blood. Really miss the old days.
lol you got a point pretty sad thing how skating is treated now well if you problaby showed them how fast and aggresive it could truely be i think they would ditch freestyle and have no limits like freestyle when not doing nothing is cool but cmon have no limits do everything there is out there
I don't know about a lawsuit, but I know he didn't become a dentist. I read an interview with him about two years ago, he was kind've making a quasi-comeback but disappeared again (he was killing it though). I forget what he was doing for a living, but it was outside the skate industry.
You need to look at this in a historical context. Nearly everything Frankie does in here was banger after banger... one of the first prolific stunt skaters to set the groundwork for that type of skating for sure. I canceled out your thumbs down thingy because people accidentally neglect to look at this in regards to when it was made and what skating was like at the time (I skated before this clip was out and roll to this day). Also: consider that board he's riding. Can't believe we flipped 'em.
dude im not hatin frankie is a g. im just sayin in a satirical manner that street grabs are killin me lol. lindsay and anthony shultz do it today even. does this mean they should be any less respected? no it does not. they as well as frakie are amaxing skaters and i understand historically that it made sense and this part paved the way for skateboard "stuntmen" today like jamie thomas. its just funny to me. we all love frankie or we wouldnt have found this part on youtube.
Matt DeAngelis Guesta: "according to an old Thrasher article/interview he wrote, he's a dental technitian. That means he makes crowns and bridges and stuff like that. Got hurt (shooting an ad for Powell) and then turned around and sued them. Apparantly won! :-/ Then apparantly a few years later asked to be put back on the team."
No. But they wanted it to seem that way. Watch Ray Barbee's Epicly Later'd and he explains how they filmed it in one week but they wore the same clothes to make it seem like a one day thing.
mate!!!! my favourite clip from the vid....its been around 20 years since I have seen this!!! it still almost holds up to todays skating!!!lol! well some of the tricks!!!
A bit thanks goes out to people like sgtreesh for putting this stuff up, because without people like him we would never see this stuff again!
got ban this, powell 8, and a few others from an old video store for a couple bucks in 96'..... and frankie was always my fave part other than rodrigues, diaz, mariano part....this part means so much to me half cab flips flat ground what!!!!!
Man, i was 9 and bought this video. I was so proud on the Tony Hwak board, with t-bones and gullwings man..... i saw frankie and was blown away man. i landed the double impossible and impossible late kick-flip with him in moind man, FRANKIE HILL IS THE BEST , same with my man Rodney M.
Like said in , you may guess the video's name, ................shredding and having fun. man I will skate till i die, we all should......
kickflips at 33 . thats a riduclous aguement like jerry rice cant catch a football anymore because hes older. im 31 and dont jump down handrails (never fuckin did) but i can skate benchs, bars, ramps, bowls, flatground the same as when i started at 14. I feel like i still progress (learned heelflip frontside blunt on box other day). it just hurts worse the day when you slam hard.....sk8 for life PUSSYS QUIT i'll skate when im 70'
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
He has ray barbee syndrome, looks like he is going to fall off his board every time he lands. At least guys like me and natas, eg. no style ride loose trucks. How can you ride tight trucks and literally tic tac out of a landing or put your hand down. Ugh. Now I know why people said he sucked back then.
yeah, but you know he prob. filmed this part in one afternoon, unlike sk8ers today who take forever and a day to do their parts. Wardrobe changes included.
Damn! this IS the video that got me hooked on skateboarding as a teen! I skated for 7 years and I'm 34 now! I can also still do a kick flip, but damn too old to do anything else!!
I agree. I think he did pioneered stunt and speed skating. I remember watching this video over and over again before a skate session. Man I miss thoughs days. Believe it or not, I'm 33 and can still do a kickflip. This is the only trick that I can remember how to do, lol..
comtec25 why is it hard to believe you can do a kickflip at 33 . I'm going to be 34 sunday and i can do alot more than kickflip . I started skating 22 years ago and still skate a couple times a week .sk84life
there was a thing on this in the Skateboard Mag, he had a massive knee injury trying to ollie over a ledge/stair gap and supposedly went into dentistry after failed attempts at recovery.
Frankie Hill was the most balls to the wall insane motherfucker to ever be on the Bones Brigade. I always used to watch his parts on the BB vids over and over and over.
the boards whernt that bad tahts when the companies where for the first time putting a lot of time into desing,concave ,nose,angles of kick.because of that you have the perfectly desing boards that you have today.look how little concave on franky hills baord but averything els is fairly ok .i road a board similar to that you dont nees much concave, my first good baord was a matt hensly,and i loved the shit out of it.
Yeah i know. I guess when you grind a rail that long, by the time you get to the bottom, you are going so fast that you when you hit the ground you break your ankles...maybe...
i dont think he did but who cares that kid would go big and make it so many times that even if he didnt land this exact one ,give him enough time and you know that he would.
He was supposed to be mr. balls out tunnel vision skating on bloody stubs. I remember sequences of him doing big ollies but I never liked powell videos much. Now 20+ years down the road, I remember why.
well I don't know what he doesnt like about the videos. But what i noticed was that powell videos seem more like the company talking. "oh! do an ollie and then we'll film you under it" rather than the skateboarder. It seems sort of coreographed and the video shooting isn't as smooth. A lot of videos were like that i've noticed. Like santa cruz's videos...
No, they DID film all these dudes parts in one day, they're not just wearing the same clothes to make you think so. The whole idea of the video was more to document these cats skateboarding, not like the 1000 tries per trick video magic we see today.
Which, I never knew, thanks. I really don't know much about skating before the 90's and even before say, 2003, I only know the OG plan b team and their works. Well, I do know Eastern Exposure 3, but thats it. Cool idea though. Thanks for the trivia.
i saw a picture of austin stephens boardsliding a rail on the toy machine website and it said austin was inspired by this guy so i click it and now im posting a comment.the tricks are sick.i dont know how he goes so big with that fish board they are super heavy and hard to kickflip witrh
man that was fucking insane. this video part looks old as balls, ive been skateboarding for 7 years and ive never ever heard of this guy. shows how little i know.
Frankie Hill was just before your time. You just missed him before he blew out knees. He was on the PPP team w/ Ray Barbie. Both to me were the next level between my time and yours. He was IN when I went OUT.(college/snowboarding/no time to skate) Early 90's
Skating is what you make it. I started in 86' and have just as much fun now as I did then, if not more... minus the arthritis. If your not into the modern scene, find footage of skaters doing what you like. There is every type imaginable out there. And that doesn't suit you, create your own scene.
"You don't have to be a stuntman to skate. Go out, do your own thing, skate with your friends." - Chet Childress
I think that this is probably one of the most influential parts in any skate video ever. Certainly the best video opening ever. I was at the world premier in St. Louis and I remember the crowd just going wild. No one had any idea what to expect, and Frankie Hill just KILLED it in this part. No one else was skating like this, and it took others years to catch up. It's too bad his career was so short, but he just such an astounding impact.
Again if what you say is true, your nephew gave every kid in my hometown including myself the greatest time of our lives, we all tried to be Frankie and we all went straight to hospital. Nothing but great memories-Respect.
Broke his knee in 92 or 93, cut off by his bitch and so called mates(its all on transworld website), trained to be a dentists assistant, started rollin again after a decade in the dark once the knee had heeled. There's footage from 2004 retrospect on here and a new revolver vid with frankie leading the way,good to see him rippin again.

Frankie Hill grew 2 additional feet once he got off his skateboard! LOL!
He's the sickest railer in my book.

Frankie Hill was just before your time. You just missed him before he blew out knees. He was on the PPP team w/ Ray Barbie. Both to me were the next level between my time and yours. He was IN when I went OUT.(college/snowboarding/no time to skate) Early 90's

I think that was some guitar by Chuck Treece. His stuff was in a lot of the BB videos. It's pretty rad music for skating even by todays standards.

In response to aufachse:
Skating is what you make it. I started in 86' and have just as much fun now as I did then, if not more... minus the arthritis. If your not into the modern scene, find footage of skaters doing what you like. There is every type imaginable out there. And that doesn't suit you, create your own scene.

Why does this feel so good? Why do I still have the feeling that skating was so much better in these days?
Why don't we just turn and go backwards? Who wants to see a sketchy guy with no style jumping down 20 stairs?
I don't know...

I think that this is probably one of the most influential parts in any skate video ever. Certainly the best video opening ever. I was at the world premier in St. Louis and I remember the crowd just going wild. No one had any idea what to expect, and Frankie Hill just KILLED it in this part. No one else was skating like this, and it took others years to catch up. It's too bad his career was so short, but he just such an astounding impact.

Hi Tami,
Again if what you say is true, your nephew gave every kid in my hometown including myself the greatest time of our lives, we all tried to be Frankie and we all went straight to hospital. Nothing but great memories-Respect.

Broke his knee in 92 or 93, cut off by his bitch and so called mates(its all on transworld website), trained to be a dentists assistant, started rollin again after a decade in the dark once the knee had heeled. There's footage from 2004 retrospect on here and a new revolver vid with frankie leading the way,good to see him rippin again.
