That video is histerical! Why? because that's almost exactly the way we skated on the boards in the 70's. Now, when I get my retro boards out, I ride them the same way. The shuvit was a little sporty, but people were doing variations of them for sure then, as well other footwork moves. It is very reminiscent of when the RR4 style wheels gave way to the red Krypts, and you just rolled and rolled.

One of my favorites right now is a 23" aluminum double kick that will turn around in 3ft, no exageration. I play hockey on it, while my son plays on his skates.

Are a lot of the skaters that have been street skating, or vert skating, or whatever for the past 15-20 years finding something insanely different on the little short turny boards? When all the old guys are talking about "just riding", everyone is thinking about tricks or air, but when they get on one of these little turny boards, they just ride too. It is a total blast.

I dont have or need a GFH because I already have genuine oldies, but I cant wait to see these videos.

Did you watch it? I've only gotten 18 seconds downloaded so far

What's in it?

**Sal Pic** · 11-26-2006 10:10 AM

It's a really good vid. Some tech stuff, come boardwalking, some carving around skurf style. All around good vid. I love the song too.

It'd be a shame if he didn't get some sort of honorable mention at least. I mean...the skating is really good. Why not take the best 3 mins?

You want to know something crazy? One of my buddies went to school with that kid and I've skated with him before.

It's alright, but maybe he should skate some hills.

Check out this video, hope you can see it because it shows some skill on the pigme and the 27. And some serious speed

Don't have time to watch it all because I've got to go to wrestling, but I've watched about 1/4 of it...insanely fast on such a small WB! Is this the video posted in another thread from Panama?

Yeah it should be. It is from the guys in Panama. They have some killer style and their F-n nutz. Makes for great footage
