Wow, I quit skateboarding in 2010/2011 and I've been back skating for about 8 months (a little older and heavier but a lot has come back to me.) It didn't even occur to me that that George Powell and Stacy Peralta joined together again for Powell Peralta. When I quit they were just Powell but I've been riding their boards ever since I started skating again and it never even clicked with me that they were using the "Powell Peralta" name again. I also had no idea ES ever disbanded. That's why I fucking love this channel, I learn stuff I missed all the time. God, I love skateboarding so much it's so good to be back

[@Antiheroosk8a]

Bro this is going to sound a little cray but your story and timeline of events is my exact time line of those same exact events (even a little heavier on then end too 😂😂 )and I’ve been out the scene so long I also have no clue what the skate scene and landacape really look like anymore lol

[@Antiheroosk8a]

I always rode antihero boards (hence the 17yr old KZbin handle) and last summer I built a 8.25 antihero with indi hollows and dragon wheels and I am loving it man getting back pushing around relearning kick flips and shuvs again. Feels like I’m getting back to my roots 😁

[@ca9968]

As an older skater i`m absolutely loving the Powell Peralta re-issues, if they`d just release a Hawk "Medallion" re-issue my collection would be complete... I must have owned at least 10 Powel Peralta decks between 1989 and 1995 or so...loved that brand when I started skating and for many years after...

[@ShredzShop]

Yea, Powell's Hawk re-issues are few and far between these days!

[@bondalero0074]

Powell Peralta & Santa Cruz are killing it with the re-issue game! I believe they are top selling brands hands down. I have bought so many in the last few years for my collection; just nostalgia sells boards bringing you back to a time thinking of that time & place where you had that special board!#PowellPeralta#SantaCruz#🛹🤘🏻❤️@C A

[@ca9968]

@@bondalero0074 I totally agree! I`ve also amassed a rather large collection of re-issues over the last few years, i`ve also been on the hunt for Bones wheels, T-Bones and Rat Bones in particular.. I also just got my hands on a Santa Cruz Eric Dressen "Hands" everslick that i`ve set up to skate, I had one in 1991 and loved it so set up another to roll around on...

[@bondalero0074]

I have a few Santa Cruz Dressen decks; Santa Cruz Celtic Roses, Veteran’s series Peacock(topless Lady), Pup mini, Everslick, & the most important one I don’t have that I WILL get is the Dogtown “Hands” with cross deck that is most iconic but market flooded with them. I will keep an eye out for your Powell throwback wheels. I did the same with doubling down on decks I like. My 1st pro model Jeff Kendall in 86’ “World Ends” got two. I’m such a fan of the Grosso’s for collecting and the newer Erick Winkowski “DopePlanet” in black stain. I liked the shape/graphic so much I got two; one to hang and one I’m skating with Indy 159s & E.W. SlimeBall wheels 60mm 95a! It is such an awesome shape in my opinion and graphic by TALLBOY was as good as some of Jim Phillips greats.#SantaCruz4Life#🛹🤘🏻❤️@ C A

[@kylealmorabi4273]

I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Es'.... Menikmati was the first skate video I ever saw and it completely caused my head to explode when I was a kid. Es' was literally the only skate shoe I would wear for the first few years I was skating. From everything from the scheme, Penny 1's and 2's, literally every Koston, McCrank 1 and 2's, the Arto, Rodrigo Tx 1 and 2's, multiple Acell's. You name the Es' shoe, I skated it at one point. I was a complete Es' snob for quite some time.

[@theramplocal]

I think eS has had the most stacked team overall. I know nike and adidas have some heavy heavy hitters but when you look at eS they have had everybody on the squad at 1 point or another

[@ShredzShop]

History of skate contest would be rad! Thanks for watching!

[@wtf_chris]

This was actually done in a really clever and historically correct way without giving details that really weren’t necessary. As far as the Nike question, I think they reason that they’ve cut out so many of the riders and shops to sell their product is because they’ve made really (borderline crazy) moves to sell directly to the consumer. I think they realize that everybody is moving to shopping online, even skaters and that they don’t necessarily need anybody else than themselves and the SNKRS app to sell dunks. Every dunk low sells out in minutes, resells for even more and Nike knows it. Recently there’s even been rumors that Nike is going to start cutting out supply to the big chains like Foot Locker and use the brick and mortar stores as a way of testing the market for new silhouettes rather than being the place to purchase the latest and greatest. I’ve been collecting their sneakers since the Air Chode days and it’s really weird to see Nike SB go from being the ugly girl who couldn’t get a prom date to the dimepiece that’s killing everyone’s dreams. Anyways awesome video, peace and love now go hop some fences and skate

[@leredditcommander8208]

Vans is the most impressive of all. Like i dont know who is behind the change but must be a mastermind. Im in mexico and back in early 2ks, during the "skateboard resurgence" they (re)entered the market hard, and they didnt dump a bunch of shoes trying to go after money like nike does, they formed a skate team, they sponsored so many FREE events, hired very famous bands, bring their international team here, it just took the scene to the next level. I was involved in a couple of those events, and let me tell you they were awesome with us and im forever thankful, i have almost exclusively been wearing their shoes since then (had a couple of adios and a pair of reissue airwalks lol) and im sure ill be buried wearing them. They never stopped, now they built a house of vans and they also sponsor skateboarding lessons. So much hate for vans because "its vanity fair!! REEEEEEEEEE!", it could be a mcdonalds subsidiary for all i care, they have done so much for us here, you cant hate them. What has nike done? what about adidas? They are also sold here, they have online and b&m stores too, but they dont give anything back.

I swear City Stars has tried to relaunch so many times since it disappeared in the early 2000s. It’s like Kareem relaunches it and then just stops doing anything with it. His Instagram shows him wearing and skating City Stars and he’s promoting the brand through hashtags and videos but you can’t currently buy it anywhere and the brand’s website just links back to his Instagram… Madness!

[@ShredzShop]

I would be so hyped to see City Stars come back!!! 😩😩

[@ZackyBananas]

Dude I used to skate with, Simon Lambey, is sponsored by City Stars. Not sure why they don't promote or sell the brand anymore

[@ecadetroit]

Pretty sure City Stars had issues securing Trademark registration, so they had to change the brand to All City before it ultimately went under. Interesting because Menace (which became City Stars) experienced similar holdups with Trademark registration. Whether or not he’s responsible for the Trademark railroading, Rocco is probably the most knowledgeable on this topic. Don’t forget, he blocked initial mark that the dudes defecting from World wanted to secure before they settled on Girl.

[@citystarridin]

Their supposed to come out with some stuff soon along with some All City and Menace shirts but I felt the same way all these years, trying to find out ways to get their boards or anything. Last City Stars board I was able to get was 10 years ago.

[@citystarridin]

@@ecadetroit I think you got it backwards they changed it from All City to City Stars cause of the trademark issue.

It might just be me but I would love for IPATH to make a comeback… They were my favorite shoes…

[@AtheistLuvXmas]

After being out of... "The culture" .... for a decade or so, I went to a skate shop about 3 years back. I asked the kid there why they didn't carry any Ipaths. he was so confused and I was a old fart kook. Then I went online to try to get some and was admittedly a little shocked that they had just died out completely. Even finding a used pair on eBay seemed to be rare.... I'm old. I loved their designs and every pair that I can think of had the tongue hidey hole pocket. Although I did buy some high top ones once that were painful on my weird extended boney ankles, but I think that's a "me" problem.......

Another honorable mention to throw in is Black Label skateboards. Except John Lucero made choices purposely to support the company's integrity, community, riders, etc over himself. They never went out of business but they were really slow due to those sacrifices and then gained major popularity again. Jason Adams, Omar Hassan, and many others from the newer gen have really pushed it's anti-corp/industry attitude well. Success doesn't always mean competing in a food chain!
