Hensley and Allen at Skateworld

[@mateosmithy5668]

Matt’s 360 pop shuv tail grab was nasty… especially for its time!

[@Backlashed]

1:32

[@dominickratliff6171]

Skated with Ron alot back in these days, knew alot of the H- Street team, still talk to Tony Mag and the guys a few times a month

[@bgab2211]

Great historical value in these videos. They belong in the video collection in the Smithsonian. Thank you for sharing.

[@itswaaaay2ez]

Man, I remember this. I was there. The launch 'Hicktown' was pretty perfect. We kept all of this at the church off Campbell Ave. Remember Dave? Older guy with the glasses, opened the church for us to skate, lived right up the street? Chad, Craig Kossel, John Sheffey, . . . Good times

[@sk8brdninja746]

Hensley just wants to skate!

My Childhood!!!

[@americafirst8218]

H street was the sheeeet for awhile

[@drun]

two things, you were lucky to be in an area that had so many demos, and secondly, you were smart enough and lucky to have a camera to video tape them! So rad!

[@badeboom]

Nice, finding these rare video gems!

[@screenfixer1936]

Amazing quality for late 80's

[@mortlow6688]

my first board 1990 was a Ron Allen...

[@bazzeldrlong3568]

thanx for sharing this. amazing!

[@pierrewikberg]

Amazing clip. I have a similar demo from Sweden in 1990. Haven't digitized yet.

[@radikarlsson]

Snälla Pierre, gör det!

[@adelag5924]

I never seen this footage..!! and i was stoked with those two riders..!! , and i agree with the coment footage of Hensley its like gold and more valuable if you add a rider like Ron Allen

[@tomobrien5345]

This was my time, except in a small place outside Liverpool UK. Shackle Me Not changed all of us.

[@toynazi]

This is GREAT! I lived in Huntington West Virginia around this time. I'm thinking 89-90 Hensley, Ron allen Sean Sheffey and a few others came through. I would say it was the same tour. Loving these vids man!

[@planb0123]

I wanted to see Hensley get that feeble grind down the PVC handrail.

[@meiphukingdiqq]

Same here! I was waiting for that make.

[@slothmoss]

This is so sick Clark.

[@minirampbonden7927]

Thx for this! Now im hyped for a sesh😃😃😃

[@carvinblack]

I remember Godfather's Pizza told us they didnt want us coming in anymore. We would come in to take a break from the heat. We played video games, bought cheese bread and all you can drink soda. I guess he didnt like the fact that we actually took advantage off all you can drink( but we only had like 2 or 3 a piece). But mainly skater hate. Haha.

[@tomobrien5345]

I've tried to explain to my son how much skaters were outsiders then. I was skating every day late 80's-early 90's & people did not want to know.

[@spikebella255]

Some of the best times of life were skating in the late 80s. In 89 I got sponsored from boardwalk boards in VA. Got 2 free decks a month and some other stuff..but I thought I was big shit back then..then I ruined everything over a girl i stoped skating everyday .and that was it for skateboarding... That was the mistake I have ever made...so if anyone's is reading this keep doing what you love don't quit over some chick

[@crazycatman5928]

I quit for a girl too. I skated from 87-92. Last trick I learned was 360 flip in 92 which wasn’t easy back then. I first biggest regret in a list of many regrets of my life.

[@lemurdream]

Hensley is the fucking man!

[@yellowmagicdog3350]

did you catch that melon grab Hensley did at the end? It was like 3 ft high and super boned out. The best

[@ProjectPhenix]

hell yeah, that was awesome, I had to take a creep grab lol

[@johnp1787]

Real skating!👍

[@nobodysreview6137]

These guys were hella stylish, skating went into a stupid era after this though.

[@destroyeric89]

love all your demo footage, just checked to see if you had anything new up and boom, hstreet demo!!! hensley footage is always gold. thanks for sharing, got any other demos that havent been posted?

[@clytor]

A bunch. I'll get them all up eventually.

[@PMSTACKER3000]

1990. there is a kid with a J. Lee Cat In The Hat deck

[@usslongbeachcg9]

what is the name of the trick Matt does at 1:32? its like a pop shuvit tail grab but he vairals it the rest of the rest of the way around to make it a full 360° spin. ive heard it called a tailwhip but he grabs kinda crail so could it be a crailwhip?

[@nobodysreview6137]

I dont know what you would call it but he was doing 360 kickflip tailgrabs back then too.

[@Surfmus]

360 Varial Tail grab.

[@heavenearth3703]

Skateboarding before the popsicle era was so much better

[@jerrykhoff9023]

That is an ignorant statement. All eras of skateboarding are awesome.

[@andreabordoni2665]

@@jerrykhoff9023 I started skateboarding in the 80s when everything was different. I'm a nostalgic of that era, I miss that vibe when the skateboard scene was supported by skaters and not by energy drinks. If you don't like my statement, read something else. P. S. I'm not a native english speaker

[@jerrykhoff9023]

@@andreabordoni2665 No worries, I started in the early 90's when skating was literally dead. Plan B Questionable was my favorite video(might still be)...My boards were mostly Popsicle sticks, but prior to that I had a few old ass boards that were shaped that we used for butt boarding....not really skating as we know it, just fun little kid stuff. The energy drink thing is controversial....personally I only drink water or beer, but those energy drink companies do pay to keep some of our favorite skaters going and not have to find a second job/retire
