1993 - 411VM Industry - Zoo York

I used to love Zoo York. It was such a cool brand back with it was first out. A tiny company out of NYC with a sick team of skaters. Finally something for us northeast coasters to be proud of. It was hard to get their stuff at first. I remember kids in high school used to make fun of my Zoo York clothes because nobody had it. Now days, they are the ones wearing at it and I'm making fun of them for being posers. Pulled from 1993 Best of 411 Vol one i think... had this up before but audio got removed, putting back up now that they got a new policy with audio.

The world will never be as epic as NYC in the 90s. Grinding, blazing, 40s, dope beats and chilling with your crew!

Thanks for uploading this, man. Zoo York was the best. The best! The East Coast Movement (yes I capitalized that!) was something special and I'm so glad I got to witness it. When I think of Zoo York, I think of then, the early to mid nineties. I got to meet most of the Zoo heads back in '96. They were all super rad dudes that made skateboarding fun. RIP Harold, Pierce.

Omg This was one of my first skate videos! I was in 7th grade and I was obsessed with this video and the sub zero video, and goldfish! Haha thank you for posting this! Good memories 🙏🏼😌

[@MH-nc5jd]

Nice, the girl goldfish vid.. I def had that and watched regularly

[@Pipe_dream_reality]

Humble beginnings, great times East Coast skateboarding really began standing up for itself with Zoo, amazingly different times, glad I lived thru them, and we`ll always have Mixtape, Peep This, Heads etc before things went coperate and lost the esscence of what this upload caputures 411VM magic thanks for the upload.

I couldnt agree more on music in 411, that was the bonus to the skate footage was getting exposed to so much excellent music I would have never have heard otherwise. I would tape segments onto cassette if i couldnt find the albums. I remember the first time I watched this segment and heard Souls of Mischief, my friend and i went out and got the album the next day. 20 years later, i still play the same CD all the time.

[@TM-tn2jj]

This is a skateboarding, no doubt. Mad respect from Japan.

[@TheCALLEPONIENTE]

The song is called "Melting Pot" - Booker T and the M.G.'s, 1983 album "Melting Pot". So good.

[@johnhogan6254]

Il never forget when I was skating love park they came up to me to give me there first boards it was a blank with zoo york bumper sticker on it. I thought it was ghetto but took it cuz it was free. Never thought they would blow up the way they did. Eventually they invited us to new york. They were very cool guys.

[@gsg_joe]

I still have this 411 VHS tape. My prime years.

[@golfendeavor8267]

Had the original Zoo York tag dec (black/white) back at around 94. Loved the track and actually got the CD of Booker T. & the MGs which is stiil rather dope sound - track is called Melting Pot. Get be back to the those days when Twin Towers were still part of the skyline 😿

[@Profound79]

I still have this on VHS somewhere but it would have taken a while searching through them all to find it. Been trying to figure out who did the music, I had a feeling it was Booker T. & The MG's. This was one of the 411 clips that made a big impression because of the music and style of footage that just seemed to be made for each other. Probably one of the things that turned me onto Zoo York originally. One of my favourite brands which I still wear today, glad to see they are still going strong. RIP Hunter and Pierce.

@JAP JAC. That's nuts, I went and got almost all those same CDs , including that Rooftop.. album for that sweet track they used in an opening Chaos montage, and the Sick of it all from the Newburg contest. Nostalgia for days.

[@ghostduster1]

Man, I remember this on VHS.

[@mcdirtywork]

Wus up Kalis!? Roy? Troy? Kenyata?Scott? Me? Morrisville represent! You remember the sk8ing the "blood banks" @ the loading docks next to the bowling alley!!!

[@mastervader218]

when i think of skateboarding i think of a LIFESTYLE...not a sport. never forget your roots.#neveranolimpicsport

[@CaliBreeeze]

My childhood right here

[@serchizm]

Even as a kid shopping with my mom at Kohl’s, saw a Zoo York shirt hanging on the rack and instantly knew it wasn’t “cool” anymore

[@srarcade]

As i read this, im visiting my parents (in their 70s mind you) and my dads wearing a fking zoo york jacket rofl facepalm

[@PeepGamePopoff]

@@srarcade that’s fire

[@FyMp916]

I'm wearing a zoo York belt right now

[@plzineedtogowayrn6353]

Legendary

[@pjb4653]

Blows my mind , coming up in the 90s . ❤zy . But then like everything else greed takes over and you sell your soul to Wal-Mart 😂

[@derbygodfather]

why is this put down as 1993 when actually it came out in the 411vm issue no 6 which was released as the june/july issue in 1994. clear facts aside zoo york was dope till ecko bought it then fxcked it up.

[@srarcade]

derbygodfather footy was from 93, turnaround to video was long in those days. totally agree on ekco.

[@derbygodfather]

videos were made alot faster back then.now you just endless internet clips thrown at you everyday and not many classic full length vids come out at all anymore.i was 16 in 1994 and have every 411 from the 90,s on vhs. every year you would get 6 new 411vms come out every 2 months like clockwork.i find it really sad now that virtually not many real skaters even buy vids no more and support the small companies in the skate industry but will buy £70 wack nike shoes straight off.

[@buffkapital]

26 years later.....you can find Zoo York products at Walmart

[@srarcade]

Its crazy.

[@PeepGamePopoff]
