Your Favorite Old School Video

**Hot Wheels** · 07-24-2009 06:01 PM

ok boyz - I have seen many of these, but sure I have missed some.

I would have to say my favorite is still Animal Chin

I would also include the Dogtown & the Z Boys, Rising Son Hosoi ect. as
these are about the 70's and 80's.

What is yours?

If you skated in the mid to late 70's this one will bring back a lot of memories. It's a 7 parter. Lot's of fun.

SKATEVISIONS is the name of the old school Vision video with Agent Orange, as I just picked up a copy of Skatevisions at the merch table at the FEAR, Agent Orange, DI, & Total Chaos show I saw on Tuesday night. Its got Lester Kasai skating and breakdancing. It also has some footage of Jeff Phillips (RIP) and Gator in his prime...

Skater Dater is really where it's at.

**TIMORNE** · 08-11-2009 09:24 AM

wheels of fire & streets of fire

Another vote for "Skateboard Kings".
It was broadcast on BBC TV.
IIRC, it was part of a Sunday night geographical-docu series, called "The World About Us". It will presumably(?) be somewhere in the BBC archive, but it hasn't been shown again, AFAIK.

I obtained a home-burned DVD copy a few years ago. The A-V quality wasn't up to much and the actual disk died after a while.

I was still glad to have an opportunity see it again, though, as memories of it were still etched in my brain from 30 years before - draining backyard pools, Alva riding desert pipes etc.

Also:
Early Powell videos and the Z-Boys docu,

Wheels of Fire was great too! Those SC skaters had so much STYLE.

Downhill Motion is by far my favorite old school skate video....

I watch that movie at least 2 - 3 times month.

**Gs-boards** · 08-12-2009 01:18 AM

Animal chin, i love those early grabs over the launch ramp.

**yoshsnh** · 08-12-2009 02:17 AM

Glad to know I am not the only one that watches these things
again and again.

Lots of LaCosta in that one samhell. Spyder Wills / Greg Weaver had
a way with a camera. Chasing the Lotus (surf film by Wills & Weaver)
is awesome also.
