Bony Tony under the bridge

Tony Hawk grabs a session at Burnside in 1997. Cool to see some old footage of Burnside, and to see Hawk hitting some concrete.

Anti Hero Hits the ‘Crete

I know that Pablo has been diggin his Anti Hero board, and I see quite a few every time I visit a park. I think they’ve got a great shape for the park and they aren’t afraid to make ‘em a bit wider than the standard popsicle stick  decks. Here’s some great footage featuring John Cardiel, Frank Gerwer, Tony Trujillo, Peter Hewitt, and some other Anti Hero Vagrants. Some Oregon concrete in the mix and plenty of random bowls footage. Check out the sick transfer over the big wall into the trench in Newberg. And I swear that’s someone trying to grind the square corner in the deepend at Astoria.

This Bulldog is the Original Skateboard Gangster

I’m sure by now even your Grandma has seen the famous Skateboarding Bulldog. But he wasn’t the first puppy to hop on a deck and push. Check out this four footed skater as he steals Lance Mountain’s deck!

Old, Old school

This is the first skate video I’ve ever seen that is older than I am. Steel wheels, bare feet, headstands, and slick hair. Would love to see the rest of this flick.  Quote from YouTube:

"I first saw this in 1967, when I was in first grade, as the opening feature for a Saturday matinee in my Midwestern hometown. This film influenced a lot of things in my life. It started my lifelong love of surf guitar - this theme has been running through my head for forty years, though I’d only seen it that one time! It also got me into skateboarding (steel wheels, baby!)"
