Today there are skate-stops everywhere and other forms of anti-skateboarding architecture. Would have been cool to street skate back then. There was a new build by my place and there was a small plaza with walls, ledges, and benches but they put skate stops on all the surfaces even before the site was finishd.

Great skating!… good flow and aggression…

Jebus I'm old.

This was so sweet. The Ragjng Waters San Jose session was amazing.

27:21 ❤

Ahh!! The Good Old Days!! When Skaters was the Outlaw's. Drugs weren't chit and you could enjoy a weekend with 10 dollars!!

Before the dark times ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Skate Boarding is NOT a CRIME! It was the best time to grow up, I was the Master of Disaster! Skating was everything, bigger then LIFE!

never gets old. so rad.

I'm so wh*te I believe 1987 is real 😅

Best skate time of my childhood ! the 80's best decade ever period ! feel pitty for the youngsters now these days!

Sick

I had two different Roskopp decks and a Jeff Kendall deck back in the day

Watching anyone besides Rodney skate freestyle is so cringe.

37:58 This footage is stuff of legends. I've seen plenty of Raging Waters skate videos, but no other could replicate this. The blue sky and blue waters on background with Christian flying high and that soundtrack, it's poetry in motion.

This and the Shackle me not soundtracks are my favourite skate movie soundtracks ❤

That intro went so hard.

Natas Kaupas is awesome and this has to be one of the best sound tracks from a Skate Video.

Beware he's possessed to skate!!

Class , I’ve not seen this since the 80’s

With exception of the first song, it sounds like a Baby Boomer compiled the crap soundtrack..

Trip to me is I was nobody that got in to skating. Started to hang with the popular skaters in the 80s. Ended up meeting the guys of the time. Later I joined in playing guitar, also met the guys of the time in hard rock. Most were just normal guys. Now like some protected class, and these chick skaters are ripping like us back then without some credit. I take a deathcore girl and skater chick over a lot of this stuff now.

Omg that takes me back to so much fun I had.I actually enjoy this more then skaters Today,skate like robots,no style.You could say I was obsessed with skateboarding,eat sleep skate.

Camera man missing a lot of good frames but i still love it, what a time capsule

Salba sucks. Who let that guy on the team.

That Natas scene is still amazing, this is what got me skating

Baby don't love me, she just wants my dope."🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵

2024 strong

Who wrote the pick pocket man song?

I’m gonna say I was raised right, I’m 20 years old now, born in 2004 and grew up watching these kinds of videos, I still have a VHS copy of this and a vhs player that still works (most of the time) but I love this music, the clips, the way they dressed, everything I love it all and apply it to my life style.

The "Soundtrack" of my life... still singing these songs since 1988 when I Sk8.

I’ll bet the police in California would love for this to be the biggest social issues now lol. Was nothing.. kids just exercising basically

This scaled so well.

Was für eine wahnsinnige Qualität alleine die passenden Schnitte. Ist das eine undercover Hollywood Produktion?😂

OMG my childhood!!!!

Hosoi still looks the best on a vert ramp. 😂

Nobody got higher than hosoi.

Remember it well this the vhs tape got lost (or worn out between us) 😂 the wonders of KZbin brilliant.

The raging waters footage with the soundtrack really brings back what the 80s actually felt like. the vert skating was legendary. they were blasting airs out of that ramp, nearly all the shots are tracking them against the sky.

@1:03 is that Grabke doing a 540?

Pay Respect. I was a ‘vert button’ Street Kid in the early 2000s too. Without this, You wouldn’t even be commenting on skate videos. Also, learn some good music.

Give it up for Salba . #skatebordinglegend

Jason Jessee!!

Yo where can I catch a ride in Docs delorean

I was 12 years old at the end of the 80's when I saw this for the first time with my friends. Wow! it hit me like a rock.

My friends and I used to watch this over and over back in the late 80s, along with Streets of Fire. Then masses of videos started coming out in the early 90s and my mates moved on from the old 80s vids. But I never stopped watching this (and a few others like Molecules of Motion, Sick Boys, Animal Chin and Public Domain). Every now and then in the 90s and 2000s I’d put on Wheels of Fire if I was hosting a bbq or get-together and all of the old gang would be so into it! Even mates who weren’t into skating would comment on how well it was shot and how cool the soundtrack is. It was an all-round favourite, long after it’s release.

I still have the VHS tape of this. Made such an impact on me

Natas part was way ahead back then. Ollie up to FS 360 ollie down the beach ledge, manual to FS ollie out etc., all in '86/87. Not to forget proper levelled-out ollies with boards that had pretty much no nose. And these wallrides....

Wow this was at main beach by the arcades

I wonder if that bowl is still there.
