  • One word: Pants

  • @dslgunner1977 Yeah, it was definitely the most drastic change up in style for skating. Looking back I prefered the style right before the new school era, around '90-91 when Speed Feaks and the Blind Video came out. The style of skating was golden at that time. Then all the sudden it just went crazy with how technical it got and the clothing. Love it or hate it now, it's some serious nostaliga and I really miss those days.

  • @Lavern4101 Yea, the beginning of 'New-School' era was probably the most drastic change in everything about skateboarding: the boards, wheels, tricks, style of skating, and the fashon style of skaters.

    I still had a long mullet during the early newschool years, but then I started wearing the huge Jnco pants, and I grew the top of my hair really, really long and had the sides and back shaved (remeber that hairstyle from '94? lol). Man, those where simpler times - even if we did look goofy!

  • @dslgunner1977 Yep exactly. I graduated in '94 so we're on the same page. I remember going to school wearing those huge clown clothes and everyone looked at me all weird cause back then only skaters were dressing that way. Skating was just going thru a phase with that extreme baggy clothes super tech sketchy shit. Looking back it kinda ugly but at the time it was exciting cause it was so 'new school' and skateboarding was still evolving back then.

  • @Lavern4101 So true! You hit the nail on the head with that. I remember when everyone just tried to get as "high-tech" with their tricks as possible, never mind if it was sketchy - as long as you land it, thats what matters!

    Then, like you said, around '95 (the year I graduated high school) when the pants got smaller and wheels got bigger (or the pants and wheels returned to their NORMAL size, I should say), THAT'S when it started becoming all about flow and smoothness of a trick.

  • @Rufusdos Yep, all that was the rage from around '92-94. Then around 95 the clothes got a little smaller and the wheels a little bigger and the tricks were became a lot more about smoothness than just sketchy super flipity tech trick. Now I see them wearing fucking skinny jeans.

  • Back in this era this was like the smoothest style.

    He was very, very good.

  • gasolin - rabalderstræde

    damn scandinavians.. we're so awesome

  • I remember cuffers and cutter-off-ers back then. they could never get along.

  • huge jeans, tiny wheels, tech tricks. ah my kickflip-spraining, virgin, weed-paranoid teenage years.
