Animal Chin 30 Years - Building The Chin Ramp 1/4

With Powell Peralta's film “The Search For Animal Chin,” it was the Chin ramp that stole the show. The ramp was unfathomable in size and featured large extensions, larger channels, a mini ramp on its deck, a vert spine, and a tunnel. After Tim Payne built it, the Bones Brigade had just three days to skate it before it was gone forever. Now, 30 years later, we hear from Payne and the Brigade about their personal experiences with the ramp and the amazing times they had together skating and shooting for this iconic film.

When Tim said "Here we are again, 30 years later..." I literally got chills. This is seriously legendary.

[@user-dy2qq5wh4b]

When I was 11 years old, I bought my first Tony Hawk skateboard in 1986 in San Diego, CA and then brought it back to Buffalo, NY and started the entire skate scene there. We skated every single area that could be found including building ramps, grinding every curb and hitching free rides off the back of moving cars around town. We watched Animal Chin video many times and even posted Animal Chin flyers around town that said " Have you seen him". It was so much fun!

[@brotatochip7001]

I highly doubt you started an “entire skate scene” but cool story otherwise.

[@jonathanturek5846]

I bet you got it in OB .. Or mission .. Did u see a roller coaster on ocean ? Lol cheers From 1502

[@briandhoward6137]

the search for Chin is never ending

[@yankees29]

Have you seen him?

[@bengtjericho1395]

I love Lance's self-efacement. I understand it's about deep pain ... but he spreads love and invites people into life with that humility and has such love for the opportunities he experiences.

[@XopherRobinson]

Man, I'm so excited to see this! It's like going back in time to hang with my best friends from childhood.

[@speedhead]

i am so fucking hyped to see the footage of them skating it

[@LucianoSansei]

It's so crazy see this video today, I saw aninal chin when I have 14 years old, today I got 42, still skating, play on a band, man this smells like fancy, wonderful!! Thx for this awesome work. Skate or Die!!! Till the end.

[@greengonzonz]

I'm having a "man tear" right now.... Mid 40s and I'm still skating. The Chin movie summed up my skating at that time. Seeing the original brigade skating again today like the same bunch of young fellas from 30 yrs ago. Thank you so much for doing this. You all influenced thousands of us old boys. Skate forever.

[@LONDONTEASKATE]

you know how to tease me, cant wait to see the shredding

[@AtilioEscobar]

So amazing they all still skate. Once a skater, always a skater.

[@jonathanturek5846]

48 and I have my board posted right next to front door. With wheel scuff marks on the drywall and all .. I don't have as big as Ollie holes in my vans though.. Lol

[@robertwilder7489]

Finally the reissue ramp for the reissue boards. Grew up watching Bones Brigade videos. I'm still search for him when I get the time.

[@TheMirrorslash]

just legendary, damn.

[@supdew7289]

This edit gave me the chills in a good way. So many memories from back in the day just revisited. Thanks Tony!

[@teknik12k]

I just rewatched the OG flick, wow what a trip down memory lane.

[@J-Ball]

I told Steve last year on Facebook that it was time for Chin II. Or maybe a slightly glitzed out modern take on it (since Stacy is fully capable now) simply titled "CHIN" I know he wants to because a few days later he mentioned it and tagged the rest of the brigade on FB and Twitter.

[@Autohypnosis]

The most iconic ramp in the history of skateboarding. I'm so glad they made this happen.

[@floyd4311]

Best parts of my childhood were spent on a board. Loved this!

[@TheRadChannel]

This just made my day!!!!

[@MortenHansen]

Same here! Can`t belive this is actually happening :D

[@ryanjofre]

I also concur...................AWESOME!!!

[@JAWS1376]

This whole movie is basically my childhood. I lived in Florida so didn't have the Cali vibe, but I watched this movie every day with my buds then we would go skate. After exercising in our house of course ...Smith and 1 and sad and 2 and varial and 3...... I would give anything to have a time machine and go back to my local sports store with $5000. Buy every Powell deck. (and a couple danforth Alva's......) edit after watching them walk in. where are the old school boards? the hell with the current junk!

[@nate9253]

I remember being like 10 and watching Animal Chin with my step dad .... To see the whole gang again 30 years on .... SICK !!!

[@crimnvL]

loved that movie so much

[@okcboomer87]

This is the type of content I love seeing from Ride. Thanks for putting in the work and I cant wait to see the finished product this weekend!

[@mackm3875]

This made me laugh like a kid again. 😁 I quit skating for far too long, and recently got back to it.

[@chedarmentosbrown5922]

OMG this is awesome!!! Me and my friends wore out 4 copies of Animal Chin back in the day, I still have an original VHS copy. The ramp at the end was so cool. We built a 12 foot vert half pipe with a 6 foot mini spine. It inspired us so much. 8]

[@kalebbarkley5208]

Can't wait to see this session!!

[@morris7025]

So glad they got Tim back to build the ramp. Couldn't have been done by anyone else.

[@kwote]

Still looking for Chin! I loved this video when I was a kid and I love it now. Always leaves me inspired and a little wistful. So rad to hear the story behind it and really looking forward to what you guys have in store next!

[@jonathanturek5846]

I just went to Vegas but couldn't find Jonny Rad but bumped into animals nephew's daughters husband

[@Thurston86]

Nice! Cant wait to see footy of them skating it again!

[@DowzerWTP72]

Oh my god! This was amazing! 30 years later? Incredible! But i desperately want to see then all skating it. Will that be released? I'm not suggesting that they release it at a price, but i honestly would pay money to see them skate that!!

[@ride]

Ride's got it coming...for free of course.

[@warfreddy6968]

It's fucked up, right? Cab looks like every old Filipino/Mexican guy i know and it's hilarious. But seeing ageless Lance finally looking old is so weird. I spent a good decade watching the vids of that guy filming and wondering if he was the lowkey best ever. Smoothest lines while also framing the shot while everyone else did the razzle razzle. Most complex game imaginable.

"im fuckin pumped as fuck" (ozzy man voice)

[@J2inNimestIlma]

But who did demolish that vert? Was it the land owner? Think they didn`t mention it in the video.

[@dirtcastle]

The crew that built it demolished it because it was built without permission on public land. They would have been forced to tear it down eventually anyway.

[@sterlingz.8275]

Leafy would dream for this.

[@WillieD7]

Crazy thing is that ramp is way less intimidating than 95% of vert ramps today.

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

I always skated the Lance Mountain deck and my best friend skated the Caballero

[@halfpipefreak]

FUCKING BRUTALY AWESOME :DDDD

[@SonikJesus]

skate heaven

[@YoloJakers]

Was the vert wall in St. Louis built at Ramp Riders?

[@TheXitone]

The fact it got tore down is why Powell never really got "respect" they had an awesome team but that "exclusivity" that Hawk mentions was a crappy attitude . Loved Animal Chin at the time though .!

[@charlieray5098]

turgid fungus it got torn down because it was on a persons land illegally. And they almost didn’t get to film it at all because the owner of the land showed up after it was built and Stacey lied to him and told him it was for kids with some kinds of issues I believe. Which for absolute sure was not a cool thing to say if it’s a true story but he told them they were the best in the world and they would immediately tear it down after 3-5 days which they HAD to do or deal with the law. Kinda bizarre how it all went on but who am I to judge? I am no one

[@dizzychizzy1]

Lance looks like Bill Murray for fuck sake... You ROCK LANCE!!!

[@jasoneaton4520]

Everybody can have crazy ramps, once you have your own home, just gather as much wood from the dumpsters behind woodwork places, over weeks or months...maybe buy the sheets, you can build anything...with enough time...hell, it's pretty quick, l built a vert in a few months...l'm gonna add miniramps, fun boxes, pyramids...it's easy. Just takes patience and work.
