Great memories from back in the day when aggressive inline skating was not known in the UK. I can remember trying to buy my first pair of skates but no one had a clue what i was on about.
Sliding down rails with blades on? What ya talking about kid.
When we started there was no Mad Beef, The Bottom Line, The Hoax, Mr Mooshnuckle, nothing! No internet to give you ideas and no UK mags. We had one magazine a friend brought back from the USA and in that was a picture of Chris Edwards doing a soul grind along a low rail. Royals, backslides, unity grinds, Christ grinds, top side acids, cab drivers and loads more moves started to filter over from the USA a couple years after we started in the early 90s.
This is the only footage i have of myself and some friends from back then and will treasure it for many years to come im sure. I thought the music was appropriate for the film.

  • reminds me alot of me and my friends back in 96,97 there was about 15 of us that used to roll around making the most of the crappy rails in your typical uk town.

  • does anyone remember "harvesting the crust"????

  • Great to see. Was also doing aggressive inline skating way before anyone knew what it was. Started with modofied regular skates in the early '90:s (aggressive models didn't exist back then). I thought I was the only one doing it in my town, but there where a handful guys that where onto the same idea, we got together and learned grinding and jumping. Almost 20 years has gone by, havent been skating for 10 years now, but I still have my Roces Majestic 12:s in the garage, waiting to be abused..

  • dudes...I've been looking for a copy of "The Bottom Line" or just a list of all the songs...

  • i wanna watch mad beef, someone upload it please.

  • @gazyo hey i actually have that on vhs still, along with many other videos from back then. I loved skating, still do and still skate. Back in the 90's was great times. skating whilst still being in school and not a care in the world.
