Opening Credits & Matt Hensley - "Shackle Me Not" (1988)

Inspirational Skateboard Video Parts From The Past.

When I skated back in the late 80's into the 90's, one of my favorite things to do before heading out, was to watch a scene or scenes from a skateboard video, you know, for a little pump up.

I decided to compile some of my favorite moments from some of the old vids.

"Shackle Me Not" is my all time favorite skateboard video. So I will more than likey post more clips from it. This was the first skateboard video I ever bought and I watched it religously. This was just going to be Matt Hensley's section, but since the opening credits are just before it, I added them too. Plus the intro is just badass. I love this video. It was this period that I had the most fun skating. There was a different vibe back then. Matt Hensley has always been one of my all time favorite skaters. He's also in one my favorite bands, Flogging Molly.

This is the video that changed skateboarding. It made a whole lot of old school guys just up and quit. It was the year when street skating really started to get more technical - this video, these guys, started it all. I remember seeing all the parts and thinking to myself, "Wow, I gotta learn ALL those tricks now!" Incredible quality of the video btw
