[@Johnny7051MC]

Fucking awesome video!! I got my first board in 1985 for my 12th. birthday, a Powell-Peralta Lance Mountain Future Primitive, w/Indy's & Powell mini-cubics, I loved that board. From the early to mid-1980's when skateboarding really took flight, it seemed like everyone that skated had a Powell-Peralta deck, usually Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, or Ray Rodriguez(Skull-n-Sword). The Bones Brigade was everywhere with Thrasher bringing the latest stories & pics. George Powell and Stacy Peralta really built something special. To me, Powell-Peralta was the best skateboard company, best team(skaters), best boards, with the best graphics, hands down!! Also with Craig Stecyk, the ads. were ahead of their time.

[@krakenwoodfloorservicemcma5975]

I had three of those boards. They were the best. I still have one in decent shape.

Random in my suggested videos. I rode here (Pipeline in Upland) as a kid. Many, many summer days spent there. Loved that park!

[@topdeckdog]

These 'kids' were so freakin talented. That original combi is no joke!!! They didn't have videos, dvd's, youtube, etc to learn from. They had a couple of older crew in a couple of parks, the rest they figured out for themselves within a hobby that wasn't even cool. They didn't give a fuck, they just wanted to skate. Respek

[@ericbrammer2245]

Fun to watch how many 'Rock-Slide&Rolls' were pulled by these skaters! I did my first one in June, 1980, on my Kryptonics Foamcore deck (had p-Tex on the base, no rails yet/ever), totally by accident by coming into a corner of a Bowl, with too much speed, and trying a Rock&Roll. Mind, you, being from Vermont, I didn't get to Skate Vert much, but I was, the Stoked to have pulled a 'Trick' no one else had (yet) claimed. I expect that others did it, too, b4 me, but, I didn't hear of such in my very-short visits out West. FF a few years, and, Yup, they're doing that as part of their routines. Progress; It's evolution on FF! "PSR"

[@Lugh444]

I always wanted to skate a bowl. I was born in 85- I started skating in 92, 93, more seriously in the later 90s. We didn't have bowls in NY where I lived. You skated street stuff.

Does Cab have a neck issue ? I noticed in current footage that his neck favors one side, but I thought it was due to some skate injury, but it looks like he had it when he was a kid too. I'm asking cuz my boy was born with Torticollis, which looks very similar..
