Brian Lotti Now n Later From On Video Skateboarding

One of the forefathers of innovative modern and stylish street skating. A true legend!

[@yoricks217]

Back on the board at 44 years old after a 27 years and pretty surprised at how much skill has been retained as well as lost. This was one of the last videos and favorite parts I used to watch constantly on VHS. Feels just like yesterday. Thank you for uploading.

[@scott.skates]

Yo man you still at it?

[@incontruth4116]

Those Airwalks were the shit back in the day.

[@punaforager]

They were called Enigma’s.

[@matthewcody1757]

NTSs where dope they came in four colour ways but the soles wore thru really quick.

[@yoricks217]

Prototypes. The second release were even better.

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

they were ok a bit heavy and janky

[@jasondashney]

@@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777 Yeah we can't pretend the old skate shoes were actually good. Nostalgically awesome but re-released today? People would trash them haha. I wish I had some for chill shoes though. Stupid Airwalk sold out when skating went bust....and then the skate shoe game went monster. They missed out big time.

[@boyergeoffreyify]

Back when everyone wore airwalks. So rad

[@punaforager]

I remember seeing Lotti at a demo in Virginia, and he was so chill and gave me a bag of stickers because I could do a 360 kick flip. This is waaay back, he was there with Mike Carrol and Brian Tucci. 360 flips were the newest trick.

[@mr_ozzio5095]

and .....JASON LEE(mr 360 flip), he was also the first skater land everything "BOLTED".

[@EronBeilkeITC]

Best style & Best tricks = Brian Lotti I know this is 24 years old, but if you watch it it will help you with your skating. I saw it for the 1st x in 2009 or 2011 on videotape. I wish I would have saw it in '94 when I started skating.

[@SlickRick4EVER]

You should see him ride a skateboard and go up a curb... OMG...!!!

[@ionutsfetcu4550]

Thank you

[@scott.skates]

You're welcome

[@michaeljames2564]

Love this part. Always one of my favs. Loved the slo-mo manny part. Always gave me chills. That music went so well with it. 1:42 switch 360 in 1991. So fucked up to realize how insane that was then.

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

it was part of the process in 1991 - we expected this progress as it seemed everyone was pushing boundaries because we were having so much fun

[@MrGwaldo]

Guy Mariano does one at the start of his Video Days part from the same year. Both classic videos and parts.

[@Machihekamake]

I’m 44 and was heavily skating back then. One day my friend came to pick me up to go skate, and he saw my older brother who he said looked like Lotti. So he kept calling me Lotti as a joke and that nickname stuck till this day. I loved him and Hensley’s style! Wish I was back in those great times!!

[@scott.skates]

Get after it again Lotti! I'm 50 bro, no excuses!🎯🛹❤️

[@Machihekamake]

@@scott.skatesthanks for the motivation. I’m hitting 48 now and am really good at pushing lol. No more tricks lol. 🛹💚🙏🏽

[@jason6677]

bro this shit is so sick i wanaa cry

[@tomf4087]

I watched it so many times. Just everything about it. The film. Slo mo. Sunshine. I remember thinking at the time, this is like watching skateboarding from the future. Surely this will be the standard of street skating. So tech, so stylish

[@MatthewManoah]

Epic part, classic Airwalk White Hots... I still remembered the words to that song "its not the same". Also reminded me of "Ezekiel, hyndman, Lotti, Dave swarnson just some of the H-Street crew at summer camp 1988". Hah !

[@doodlethebeagle2078]

❤ Lotti, plz come back to sk8 videos ❤

[@ezrhino100]

Wow. I am finding new-old favorites everyday. This is pretty amazing skating even to this day...

[@argonzalez71]

:05 That’s not from Tim & Henry’s BLIND Video, it’s from the “OUR FRIENDS....” part from Plan B Virtual Reality with Jeron. Ronnie, Brian, Tim, Rudy, Henry, and Guy. Best part of video.

[@icedalpha5794]

He was one of my favorite skateboarders back in the day

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

invented one of the most requested skate tricks in 2021 - the big spin.

[@rwvanpeppen]

Not the same by Handy with shovels, that song pumped me up to go skating, watched this part a zillion times before going out skating. In 1991 I think it was I met him in person @ Münster Monster Mastership in Germany and bought a set of A1 Meats "Kings" off of him and rode them till they fell apart. Such a super nice guy. Thanx 4 all your influence in my life of skating and all of skateboarding Brian.

[@handywithshovels]

Ronald van Peppen if luck serves, maybe Handy w/Shovels will play some more tunes in the near future

[@handywithshovels]

The former members of Handy w/Shovels are still around living inside of a couple hours of each other. We are all still like good friends and have lightly discussed getting together to record rather than play any shows. Regardless, life and responsibility make logitsics tough any more. BUT you never know. Stranger things have happened! We appreciate that there are people who enjoy our music. We are the luckiest guys on earth to share this experience, music and skateboarding with you all

[@dizmop]

Wow I'm surprised that I've never heard of this guy, great upload 👍🏿

[@jasondashney]

When it came out this part was a really big deal. I wore out my VHS for sure. Welcome to the fan club!

[@smottypants517]

Brian Lotti was my neighbor and I once bought a telegraph deck that he made and its pretty dope to see that he is well known by other skaters

[@johnm3946]

Brian Lotti rips! Anyone should check out Ron Knigge and Chris Hall, totally underated skaters from the same time.

[@scott.skates]

🔥

[@CT-nb5lm]

relate more to the small tech vs modern tech down a big 7. -Thanks for putting shuv-it's on the map BL... -a lot of backside everything in this clip too..damn!

[@oldskater]

Makes me want to learn backside 360s, so smooth. Great video, so important to the modern roots of skating.

[@ACTHdan]

Interpol "Untitled" first song from the album Turn On The Bright Lights

[@zew1414]

Most kids today don't even know who Lotti is.What a shame! He sculpted most of the shit that's going down today.

[@harrymcdonald7517]
