Classics: Henry Sanchez "Pack of Lies"

[@soulmachineNo1]

Total legend! Without question the most underrated skater of all time....

[@DjKitty321]

'92 SWITCH BIGFLIP!! So much raw energy, i bet this man was gnarly even when eating his peas

[@drmatacic]

I remember everyone would sit down at Embarcadero when Mike or Henry were skating.....true story.They were so dope these videos dont really do them justice.I miss these tremendously.

[@yeaitsmemikec.2018]

best part with the best song ...I watch this once a year still

[@jasonpatio8338]

Me too

[@schwiggys]

this video came out in 1992, and blew skateboarding to pieces. TIm Gavin was good, but Henry was other-worldly. To do tech with this much authority and power was unheard of. yeah yeah, #shutitGrandpa

[@Creaturefiendyo]

I’m 23 in 2020 and I recognize the greatness

[@rebusd]

The Blind promo killed the pressure flip lol. It also made me worship Guy Mariano even more.

[@jasonpatio8338]

I skated there at EMB San Fran. Tourist from Canada. I'll be 44 this year. Still skating.

[@smittypunker]

For all those hating on the baggy pants, calm yourself. Its gonna be back in 10 years.

[@judemeens4460]

👍

[@robhelmstetter3167]

ha ha this comment aged exceptionally, Nostradamus over here.

[@BillKroger]

Looks like you nailed it 🎯

[@PmoneySkates]

That comment was an investment 😂

[@episodebeats2817]

Daaamn you’re a prophet!

[@natanielmendes5753]

Henry is a legend. His part in "Sight Unseen" still being one of my favorits parts of all time.

[@Natus_ReBorn]

So much innovation in this part at that time and I watch it now 2015 and still looks progressive.

[@michaeljames2564]

Switch inward heel in 92? Yeah, you could say that was pushing the envelope. One of the most ground breaking parts ever. The speed he skated with was also what made it so sick.

[@rebusd]

I thought so too when this came out and then for a while thought it was actually a switch pressure flip and was going to say so to you but I double checked and yes, it is in fact switch inward heel. I'll show myself out lol. PS the brick sound really captures the speed

[@user1138]

Henry was killing it back then. He inspired me to learn switch hardflips in 1992. I could never do them regular though lol

[@CT-nb5lm]

This is also in my rotation of top 50 skate parts all time that I watch to get psyked to go skate... *Henry doesn't even know how many he influenced with his style. LEGEND!

[@chrisweeds1]

Never gets old. ❤️😊

[@LOUISVILLESLUGGER32]

I can only imagine how pumped i would be to watch or land any of those tricks back then. Especially at the old embarcadero, where so much went down. In '92 I was 12 and shuv it was amazing. Switch or mongo who cares, I taught my self to skate switch for fun but I can't tell you when I set up how I push. And i met Stevie Williams super nice guy and skate technician!

[@soulmachineNo1]

Henry is the most underrated skater of all time....... He should really be on a par with Koston, Mariano and Carroll as he invented plenty of tricks back in day and helped take skating to the next level. Anyone that hates on him really doesn't understand what skateboarding was all about in early 90's.

[@rebusd]

He was on par but his personal issues got the better of him.

[@Mattress99]

I just realized all my favorite skater's styles are based on Henry Sanchez. He should be remembered like Carroll and Koston...

[@bigtomatoes1]

Agh never gets old. Glad i grew up with this instead of the crap now days. 90s produced legends 🔥🔥🔥

[@joegonzalez7592]

I agree with you

[@jamesmata2945]

The times are different but I wouldn't say the era skating is in is crap.

[@BrianWingard]

5:14 I remember rewinding this so many times when this video first came out so I could learn it. Half the tricks he does back then 20 years ago guys can't do now.

[@SimonB.]

i still love baggy

[@MikeChudley]

watch before you skate!

[@granddillz]

I had Henry's board on Real back in the day, was by far my favorite shape/board

[@patrickhanlon932]

skating 100 mph and hitting non-waxed ledges, what a beast.

[@AndrewJ951]

The 5-0 back 180 nose grind HOLY FUCK! Even on a curb, gohtdam.

[@punaforager]

Andrew J you’re right.

[@rebusd]

Still sick in 23

[@richdixon]

Seeing that manual part over the concrete divider; everyone in the suburbs like me had one of those and this opened that up as a pro-level spot so much.

[@cforclover]

dat 90's feeling....

[@deveron372]

90s skateboarding was the truth 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@guyfromsouth1976]

The best period of my life .

[@jasonpatio8338]

Me too

[@user1138]

There was nothing like skating in the early 90’s man. Good times!

[@atharris8]

Loving that 90's style.

[@shredmeat]

mad influential. big time inspiration. - from someone born in 98

[@Riaindownes]

There's nothing wrong with pushing mongo if it's switch or fakie

[@CT-nb5lm]

why? When i see it it tells me the person doesn't want to learn to push switch or like in alot of cases they want to flex they are doing it switch.. Whatevs,,Henry & this vid is in my personal top 10 just like Stevie said.... My crew doesn't skate switch unless it's for a control purpose or whatevs.. i never understood why switch is respected.

[@treny1962]

@@CT-nb5lm it depends on the person for me mongo switch is uncomfortable for others its more comfortable also its respected because you had the patience and motivation to re-learn trick you already know how to do

[@ryanwilliams9984]

Some guys can pull it off and make it look better (Mike Carroll is the prime example). It was more acceptable in 90s cause dudes were trying to show that the trick they were doing was switch. Also who cares as long as you aren't pushing mongo in your regular stance

[@crikey1mate]

Keep telling yourself that sicko

[@jaankungrockman1633]

Eric Koston, Josh Kalis , Mike Caroll, Stevie and orther Legend push switch mongo when he Switch or Fakie trick 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@SimonB.]

Thank you sir

[@Creaturefiendyo]

Crazy this came out 28 years ago!!

[@estebanlacrosse7847]

It’s sickening how great he is , going so fast doing most tricks switch and just keeps pushing to do the next trick I understand why he’s one of the greatest

[@fingerboardlove4544]

this was so crazy for its time

[@CT-nb5lm]

summer 2020 and i pre session this video cause it's the way i skate now that im 45. (not anywhere near Henry's level but style wise and Curb dancing) I love the way he reverts out of alot of stuff.. any grind you revert out or quick Shuv into a 50/50 feels great.. Dude never got the status he deserved for sure.. Same W/ The Gav.

[@crazycarlsadventures5983]

5:14 …I saw kris markovich did this in adio one step beyond but little did I know Henry did it like 10 years before him

[@secretsauceskateboarding4337]

What a great video. It doesn’t matter if you push mongo or whatever. Skateboarding has no rules, that’s what makes it great! You do you!

[@JasonPatrick-tj4xj]

I skated there in the 90's. Embarcadero's a legendary spot. I'm age 44 now

[@RobSteez]

Unreal switch innovation 🙌

[@Notnecromancer]

Amazing!

[@tangoarmy]

Underrated dude.

[@itsyaboyliam6889]

all on a 9 incher too damn son

[@deepwebmp3]

Word on the street is you did it all on a 9 incher too damn son

[@brianrahamg8424]

Once or twice a week?! Lol Stevie is a super fan

[@outerworld100]

damn i miss watching skate videos for fun

[@desmond3381]

One of the gnarliest street skaters ever.

[@JasonPatrick-tj4xj]

The sound of the red bricks was magic at EMB. I skated there when this video came out

[@Bb186fo]

I was almost word for word gona write this same comment lol Never got to skate there myself but even on video that emb brick ground has to be one of the best skateboarding sounds ever!

[@DavidLewisss]

Stevie Williams still sits down to watch a full length skate video once or twice a week? I hardly had enough time to watch this clip.

[@punaforager]

First photo I saw of Henry was a Real Skateboards 50-50 down a rail. Maybe it was a frontside nosegrind, but I immediately wanted to see more.

[@MikaelFlyer]

respect to stevie & to henry,rapid fire skating,classic,

[@derbygodfather]

thats a switch bigspin flip.sure henry might have been the 1st to do it.

[@HopyHop1]

switch bigspins are easier than bigspins.

[@pressureflipin1992]

Has to be the first one on film for sure

[@darkstar19]

Sweet jesus I'd totally forgotten about this guy, he used to be in a lot of 411 vids way back when.

[@rebusd]

I remember attempting hardflips after this and having no luck with my mobbed kickflips. For some reason I didn't see Love Child until later.

[@blazedONEin87]

switch big spin flip in 1992 was fucking nuts

[@Brent.larson]

Who's here because of the nine club..

[@jasonpatio8338]

Henry was before his time...he did many "firsts" in skating . new tricks in the 90s

[@boloby]

Anyone dissing any part of this video who wasn't around in 1992 should just shut the hell up. You're a big part of what's wrong with skateboarding. You worry too much about what other people think -- what's trendy or cool. I recommend watching some '80s videos so you can see the progress that has been made.

[@Mattrios119]

What a classic.

[@cresplove]

.. it's not how u push .. is how you get wild , ninjas!! ;) big respect to the old & nu school together!! ;)

[@rebusd]

This video got me into Black Sabbath big time, and to this day I get upset when someone has EMB footage with all music and no bricks.

[@HmmmmNiceBike]

Even by today's standards that was impressive 5:14

[@cheothegeo2742]

fax style is so raw

[@benaberry]

Smallest wheels ever - remember how fast they worn out and how you slowed down all the time especially on ruff terrain. Loved Sanchez.

[@backsmithfakie]

switch flip nose manny in 92. best ever

[@adamgoodell5805]

Not only is this one of most classic parts with possibly the most ground breaking skating of the early 90s era, but it’s also a showcase of what are considered today to be two of the most classic spots - Embarcadero and Lockwood. Henry was holding it down in both SF and LA.

[@MultiSupporter]

soo good

[@jasondonilag]

Old school inward heel and hardflip! Awesome!

[@MultiSupporter]

is it weird id rather watch this than the p-rod tearing it up

[@hebon5]

Stevie is so real

[@Desmond1of1]

This part is gnarly af

[@jamazonnewyork3221]

so sick

[@TheGeckn]

I'm slowly finding out were all the Skate songs come from.

[@SlickRhythm78]

greatest song at the beginning

[@Fallenskater87]

this is beyond tech skating

[@blizzy402]

that nollie kickflip bs tail..... so ahead of his time.

[@BirdmanBaBaBaBa]

I've been skateboarding for 16+ years and I still occasionally throw down mongo or push mongo switch. Sometimes it feels better. All you haters are fools, speculating and debating over nothing. Koston and Carroll both throw down mongo switch. As well as other legends. It's only lame if your primary way of skating is mongo.

[@chiefkirby9982]

Pushing the envelope back then. Was that nasty last trick in front of the old Volcom indoor?

[@FilmerAbe]

yes!

[@MBernard3]

ayyee thats a sick song

[@egroege100]

I bet that was crazy back in the day!

[@davidjacome1681]

Nice skate, nice song.

[@mattimaranda9638]

Although it's a damn amazing part, that same evil sun glare that destroyed Lennie Kirk's Hubba trick got to Henry as well.

[@ssgoifvet]

Dude is so underrated it's disgusting

[@robbiesammakia4003]

His sight unseen part was killer too

[@alecvanvactor5698]

i think the style back then was so cool. i try to incorperate it into my skating.

[@marco77ar]

Was it intentional that they're skate spots from other videos.....or am i just seeing things?

[@SkyBabyBoom]

that was a solid intro

[@cachetebuendia7009]

bigspin flip 2:10 IMPRESSIVE!!!

[@jasonpatio8338]

It was switch

[@powder3urn]

Emb forever

[@phsycobillyfreakout]

new favourite vid that was fucking sick this guy shreds like a fuckin demon on ledge and its back in the day too

[@benaberry]

Check out tech skaters of 1992 New Deal "Da Deal Is Dead" Julio de la Cruz - Vangelis - Chariots Of Fire

[@seeemsee]

Who filmed this?

[@anhiirr]

im mongo switch, no point in turning while kicking switch if i cant push normal switch........honestly it makes setting up impossible if you do something unorthodox before your trick every time you try one right?

[@RostislavHladik]

Pants back in the days were crazy :D i got one big ass baggies in my closet too still..

[@MikaelFlyer]

Man I agree fully with you,about mongo. pushing mongo is fricking rad,cause normaly mongo is being used to skate switch,it a unorthodoxed but effective technique,haters learn your kungfu,36 chambers & then mongo will be repected for its true steeze,4 ways to push,mongo to regular mongo to goofy,regular regular,goofy goofy. mongo is rear wheel drive,sports car style

[@griffincrane7235]

here from nine club

[@11TheRaptor]

song?

[@smittypunker]

this guys right, support your local shop man

[@Xchasemadnessx]

This is real skateboarding. Theres to many freaks of nature out there.

[@OFELoody]

thats exactly how i feel in a way, my friend was pushing mongo for a long ass time till just recently. i dont care at all that i didnt even notice till he actually told me "did you notice im not pushing mongo anymore?"

[@jonatanhernadez4974]

The blind volvo ,,once i saw them the blind team on it in lemon grove but they did not skate ,,the real deal Sánchez...

[@mathewharmer478]

Hi ya ok a great memorie I thought it was paranoia in the music or maybe in Australia we had a different version love people

[@SuomiFB]

Those pants
