Neat little B&W vid scott bourne an American in Paris on you tube. Great skater could ride anything.

Concept film way ahead of its time. <br />Steves a great guy other than his unfortunate familial ties to Chelsea FC ha ha.

Then there was penny, rowley etc!<br /><br />i really enjoyed mullens book, worth getting on amazon if you havent read it. Clever guy but troubled and weird upbringing!CPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08010197583291022284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7946078378127271163.post-21737573573688231282012-01-12T14:47:35.007+00:002012-01-12T14:47:35.007+00:00East Coast was level on vert but the street action...East Coast was level on vert but the street action at the time in CA was mind blowing, then guys like andy howell and later Scott Bourne brought it level again and spun it a new thread. Agree it was still far less corporate in 88 and it was still special when you got to see a new video. Mullen is a very intelligent fella and it shows thru in his skating. Tyler Warren linked to a recent video of him and he's still killing it, probably just gets up slower like the rest of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7946078378127271163.post-90311852844157036502012-01-12T08:48:57.345+00:002012-01-12T08:48:57.345+00:00Mullen is a freak and a real visionary!

Have you seen Killian Martins videos on the web? seems like he's following on from mullen a little.<br /><br />Back then in the pre web days, we were so far behind the curve as far as knowing what was going on, the powell vids and an occasional dog eared copy of thrasher were all we had to see what was going on elsewhere. It's mad how far skating has come and how accepted it is now. I remember seing someone i knew first do a kickflip and being blown away, now it's almost the first thing people learn!CPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08010197583291022284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7946078378127271163.post-62383644752167180212012-01-12T04:52:27.035+00:002012-01-12T04:52:27.035+00:00You shoulda seen the sessions at the PO curb in HB...You shoulda seen the sessions at the PO curb in HB at this time or at pay n play. Jason and Ed and a few other guys you never heard of, like the skinhead kid who skated for circle A, were way ahead of Ray and the stuff in that video. Steve Saiez ripped tho and still does. Rodney Mullen was also doing high speed "freestyle" at the pier in Hermosa after work,I was always impressed with how far he had come from stationary freestyle, and how hard he was skating. He was inventing modern street skating and took alot of solid falls every night doing so. Too bad noone was doing much documenting of it or even seemed to notice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7946078378127271163.post-80519967620651267252012-01-11T14:48:51.607+00:002012-01-11T14:48:51.607+00:00I remember TG just joining the Bones Brigade in 19...I remember TG just joining the Bones Brigade in 1985, and my Dad picking up his deck for my 13th birthday. Sadly he forgot it in a Taxi in Newport Beach, but managed to get it back just in time before travelling back to Vancouver. I quit skateboarding the following year, as we moved back to England and discovered windsurfing instead. Soemthing I always regretted. Funny to see how basic the skating is, as at the time it was mind blowing.HDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15337507083654164273noreply@blogger.com
