Elissa Steamer Shreds! Skateboard Legend | EP 99 | Hawk vs Wolf

[@Ianms]

Elissa’s part in Welcome to Hell still kicks ass ~30 years later.

[@Ianms]

“Elissa Steamer’s a superstar”

[@GABEGRAPES]

Ya still on par with the girls today which is kinda crazy

[@trackalex]

I was literally thinking that in my head. No joke. One of the goat’s

[@morgellon7877]

​@@GABEGRAPESGirls today are on par with the rest of the Welcome to Hell crew. Hell, Marissa dal Santo 20 years ago was gnarly enough that a dude could have fit right in doing her tricks. Elissa was a style skater; didn't do the biggest stuff, but always looked good on a board. I love her Welcome to Hell part because she was just learning to skate stuff like that; Jamie Thomas pushed her to skate bigger stuff. She would have got there on her own, no doubt, but it's good to have people push you to do stuff you might not otherwise do. I'd usually rather watch someone skating passed the limits of what they thought they could do than a person with athletic prowess doing difficult tricks casually.

[@r4x2]

The Sundays is a sick music choice too.

[@marvinshenk]

Elissa is the most important female skater in history.

[@kingofthecuntsfromcuntasia3286]

Fact!. 😌

[@troyharvey9291]

She changed things in a way that are not as apparent today. A true pioneer.

[@Capesworld458]

Damn right!

[@scottycrayon]

Truth

[@josiahamaze]

GOat

[@bryantgolden]

Wow! Elissa Steamer! I used to pick her in Pro Skater because as a kid I was like, "What the heck? A girl skateboarder? Awesome!" So awesome to know that she's still out there doing her thing! Love this podcast unlocking all these memories. This is so special, man.

[@steffe689]

Elissa Steamer is a true legend! No matter what.

[@termikes174]

Damn straight

[@dazdealz4648]

Worked with Elissas Mom in Ft Myers many years ago and Her mom was so proud of her she would always tell us what she was doing at the time. This is when Elissa was with Etnies. Amazing to see she's still at it

[@Jay-wk9xj]

You can tell from this interview she's incredibly cool and humble just as you hope she would be..

[@Zeal808]

Fully

[@SabrinaMorris]

Perhaps no other skater embodies the spirit of skateboarding more than Elissa Steamer. Through that sense of play and determination she transcends gender, race, nationality, etc. and is a joy to watch and listen to. What a great podcast episode. Loved the last 15 minute intimate talk about THPS.

[@Lostcause1974]

Hearing Your Skateboarding Idols talk about their first boards and sticker engineering them is quite possibly my favorite part of any podcast ever.

[@zacvotruba8374]

Fuck yes Elissa. Been apart of 3 of the most important teams in skateboarding, Toy Machine, Zero, and Baker.

[@Scarecrow-skate-racing-videos]

Now put her on anti hero.

[@Scarecrow-skate-racing-videos]

I forgot that she's been on baker but remembered after I commented, I wasn't paying attention to the industry for awhile.

[@domwalker6526]

One of the greatest pioneers of street skating

[@queenBE.]

this episode is fire 🔥 ellisa is so cool and this is jasons best interview by far showing genuine interest in her career. it was fun watching them vibe about coming up in a similar time. tony did a great job quietly letting this blossom.

[@bluntbruhwilliams3878]

JUST SAW ELISSA STEAMER SKATING ROCKRIDGE IN BERKELEY 🔥SHE REALLY IN THE STREETS

[@josie_the_valkyrie]

Yes! I looked up to Elissa so much when I was a teen.

[@americangangster1911]

Nice, another THPS alumni. I was just rewatching the X-Games vert competitions when this popped up, it was awesome seeing Tony out there competing after everything he's been through this year.

[@MichaelSilverMedia]

He didn’t get any air though. Kept trying the same Madonna trick. It was cool.

[@tonydigital6017]

I will never forget the first time I saw Elissa on the scene. It was such a breath of fresh air. She looked so right on a board...all style. Seeing her here puts a big smile on my face. Straight up G

[@hushberger]

Nostalgia mode activated. Love this. Love Elissa.

[@BobWeaver3000]

wooo!!! heck yea, Elissa rulez!! ps: it was UNREAL watching Birdman skate x-games yesterday!!!

[@WolfWould]

Love her. Saw her on her first tour with Toy Machine. I learned rock to fakie and never ever hung up in decades. Then......last year just happened one day. Must be subconscious that I knew I never had yet. Lol

[@arbyscurlyfries9490]

Wish I had that luck. Been doing them for almost twenty years and I still hang up like once or twice a year.

[@WolfWould]

@@arbyscurlyfries9490 I hang up learning rocks both ways though lol I'm same as Elissa on tre flips too. I still can not do them really.

[@ShockTheMonkey35]

She's awesome, no disappointment whatsoever watching the whole thing! Keep shredding and inspiring skaters everywhere til the wheels fall off!!! Then get new ones and do it again!

[@draconianTL]

"Filming a Baker part right now" Best part of the video, hell yeah! Great skateboarder, full respect to Elissa for being around as long as she has, always in the streets ripping.

[@theorncampbell4432]

My friend Chris used to skate with Elissa, everyday, back in Fort Myers. When he moved back to Baltimore he told us about the girl named, Giz, that shredded harder than everyone else. Then we saw her pop up in videos and video games. That elevated her legend status for me. "Big day out" 😂 that Shit's gone.

[@kryptichands968]

So stoked when I saw this pop up today, and can finally sit down and watch. Elissa is to this day my one of my favorite skaters. Love her stories and her stokednessss for skating.

[@victorsavage4638]

i loved playing elissa in tony hawk skateboarding in the 90s this was a great episode

[@SHREDBEARD696]

Bringing it every week with amazing guests 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Elissa is the most real human being. Truly appreciate her! Shredding boys 🔥🔥✌🏼🤙🏻

[@BeachBumsk8]

Rad episode.. can you guys get Gonz on the show or Natas, Blender, Alva posse?

[@cyberpunkholiday]

She'll always be a legend! Love ya Elissa!

[@morgellon7877]

It's interviews like this I wish they'd occasionally do special longer episodes. There's so much more I think they could have gone over. Hopefully they'll have her on again. Elissa rules.

[@H01YD1V3R]

Late to the party on this one. Never heard much out of Elissa Steamer over the years, but dude, when she giggles, I smile and start giggling. What an infectious laugh and awesome person.

[@NulJern]

Tony Hawk i love you. Still would like to see Rune Glifberg come and talk some skating, he has great stories!

[@Lostcause1974]

In the history of the World, this is my favorite podcast! I always played as Elissa in THPS.

[@bpastorb]

Re-watching this episode, it is just as good the second time. Elissa is an awesome personality and skater, congrats on the well deserved and such a sweet Thrasher cover last month! Hearing you guys talk about avoiding tricks because of hanging up reminded me of how awesome it would be to see Mike Frazier on the show. He seems to be the master of all those sketchy tricks and he makes them look great and is still doing them. Being of a younger generation I only discovered him more recently from all the OG skate events, and he very quickly became one of if not my favorite vert skaters to watch

[@johnjoeparrot]

Elissa is an awesome conversationalist

[@stephenstarr975]

So much respect for her since childhood 👏 much love

[@klausschmutzhart2916]

She is so amazing! Something Realy special about her! ❤❤❤

[@noahhcams]

Wow, even bigger fan of Elissa now! Great episode!

[@toynazi]

As a 46 year old man, Blunt to fakie hang ups on a metal ramp is a brutal ass beating.

[@Magdalena8008s]

Gotta admit. 34. Skated since 12 non stop. And I will admit. I never appreciated her as she dessrved. So, this is me giving her the flower's shes always deserved. 🌼

[@IGolfCanada]

TOY MACHINE Jump Off A Building. Need we say more!?! ABSOLUTE LEGEND!

[@MikeMuellnerMD]

Yeah that song was sick too. I liked the back to back no co complys in the open line.

[@ericbrattin4227]

Rad, she's a legend

[@TRKTKO]

Love the THPS talk! It'd be awesome to see some of the developers on to talk about the process of making those early games! Who knows it might bring enough attention to get remasters of the other games! Comment your favorite THPS guys to blow this up for Tony to see!

[@dneck]

4 is the best ... or 2. hard to pick

[@masturdate]

@@dneck Yes or 3. Or THUG 1 & 2.

[@alexiicarey]

Doesn't get anymore real than Elissa! Great episode...

[@jackhammered]

Finally were back to what made this great in the beginning!

[@scottieskatan4219]

Fark yeah bloody legend great one lads, I'm 46 going 21 never grow old people never.......................

[@aaronwetzel1981]

Always loved Elissa . I was 10 in 2000 when I started. She was and is one of my favorites, generally has that fun raw real street style. I had a few of her toy machines and remember having this white on black bootleg deck, it was handrawn by Knox godoy I think? Can't find it online for the life of me. But she rips. I'm glad she's doing well.

[@kevinminor2836]

Elissa is a fucking ICON. Seeing her here is so sick!!!

[@adamcarpenter1869]

First saw her in Welcome to Hell when it came out. I was stoked to see a girl shredding like she did. She is a very important part of the history of street skating. Very influential.

[@yohojones]

Another great episode guys.

[@cwr4273]

Great episode. Elissa is the homie we can all hang with

[@SecretSpots]

LOVE HER!!! She's a super important part of skateboard history. RESPECT!

[@brendonmasters]

Elissa got the depth for certain. What a great person

[@joshharper1917]

One of the best to ever do it. God damn, I love Elissa Steamer!

[@groovyisback]

This show is fantastic. I was wondering if the HvW shirts will be available anywhere? There was one Jason had like a year ago and I am strugglebussing to find it.

[@blaiseanddestroy]

I need that new elissa footage! Stoked hope it come out soon

[@jackthehumanofficial]

straight legend

[@blakegriplingph]

Elissa was actually mentioned in an _American Girl_ book where Nicki Hoffman was described as playing the original THPS game with Steamer as her character.

[@skateandlax33]

More of these episodes 💗

[@icychill105]

Sorry i missed the X games vert from japan, But this podcast is about to be legendary

[@SHREDBEARD696]

It already is ✌🏼🤙🏻

[@QuincyKane]

You should get some of the team from Neversoft on as guests to talk about THPS!

[@Scarecrow-skate-racing-videos]

Shes so rad! Idk how many times ive seen welcome to hell, but i knew who she was before that because we started right before Thps1, so we actually back tracked with vidoes as well. I never thought it was odd that there was a woman pro skater, well a few at the time. Ill never stop skating and its because of all of my favorite legends still ripping in their 40s and 50s.

[@y_not]

That is dope! I've heard Tony Hawk talk shit about his street skating so much, and seeing his reaction to Elissa's kudos is awesome

[@juniperbordeaux5988]

Thanks so much y’all

[@SimonTB-uy3qv]

S-T-O-K-E-D

[@Mr.Monster1313]

Keep on truckin ! Im turning 50..and my body is ALL fucked up..but i still skate..love it still..i have a hernia..i still skate...lol

[@pikesk8er235]

Completely forgot about this channel! Last episode I watched was ep40 a year ago! Have to catch up👍

[@christianbaccus1524]

Was hoping to hear more about the early days of baker from tony and Elissa, you should get Andrew on and talk about it

[@ScottBallard]

You guys are killing those adds. Super funny. Great episode.

[@mikedlc9766]

Elissa living legend with the best of em

[@garyvoigt321]

"My brain can" - Elissa Steamer. As an old man still trying to skate - I feel this.

[@Bradgreyeyes]

The first and best female skater ever, the og, the legend...completely under appreciated

[@proREFbrder]

She's so awesome❤ The Lakes Park Skate Park?? That place used to be so awesome before hurricane Charlie. I remember Brent from Brothers skate shop doing demos there! FM for life!

[@wadewilson5309]

Yea I'll have to watch it again

[@skateturd916]

Met her in SF one time and she was super cool and humble. She hooked it up with gnarhunter stickers.

[@JamalMarkom4]

coffin grind and the distillers seneca falls in the video ... greatest !

[@FunTangent]

Finally! Love it, love it, love it. Steamer is the best.

[@janedoe22x]

Elissa just seems cool.

[@SkateGirlAndrea]

Love this episode, Elissa you are great. 🛹💖🙏😊

[@jacobswainson1952]

I started skateboarding in 1982 on penny boards and Nash and variflex..my first pro model board was the hosoi hammer head that my dad got for me from surf and style back in 85 and the deck was signed by multiple pros and it was the powder blue rising sun air grab deck and the top of the deck was stickered with a Gonz sticker and the vision faceplant sticker and an SSD sticker under clear grip tape.. I had white slime balls with red graphics on the wheels and old school thunder trucks with the skull and crossbones and dagger and lightning bolts on the baseplates and yellow rails and my father's boss's daughter hung out at surf and style back in the 80's and she knew a lot of the old school 80's pros and she got the top of the deck signed.. her name was Ann Cutwright.. my board got stolen back in the early 90's if you ever see it.. that's my shit..lol😊.. sob😢...

[@mattlee3400]

Skull and sword was my first board. Probably my favorite one out of all of them

[@ronindr]

Good episode

[@jigger222]

Great episode! Elissa is rad!

[@jackthehumanofficial]

the absolute goat

[@TheGemiller4]

OG as fuck!!! Jump Off A Building,, Baker Bootleg...I was in junior high in those days and God damn I love 90s and early 2000s skating but I have to admit the boys club was real sexism and homophobia were par for the course and what a badass Elisa is for believing in herself and in skateboarding!!

[@tysobol]

Love this interview 🙌

[@evanmadson]

Dude, Elissa always had the dopest style

[@saladz3657]

Legendary!!!!

[@officegossip]

She has a sick style too. One of the legends.

[@coconutfleetsleeper5717]

Man I had such a crush on her back when welcome dropped xD There was 0 sheboarders in my country back then, when I saw her in that movie it swept the other unachievable fantasy women from movies or what ever I had off the board. I could not belive that a woman was ripping like that, and have that much style, it was unheard of. -she would easily slay the likes of red Sonya and xena with a switch heal and a nocomply xD ♡♡♡

[@mking9231]

Rad!

[@boscorelli23]

This is awesome

[@morganw3251]

This is sick , Elissa is a boss always has been , she ain't a "female skater" , she's just a skater 👊👊👊

[@Silver_Gray]

Great episode. Steamer is awesome.

[@Thurston86]

Hell Yeah! 🤘👽🤘👽🤘👽

[@d.g.murrell950]

Mad respect for this one...🎉

[@SkateZombie]

Loved playing her in THPS2

[@3DEditor]

21:17 @Elissa, although I can't do inverts on halfpipe, I've done plenty of handstand variety tricks in Freestyle, and I'm an introvert guy.

[@michaeljenkins791]

Inspired!!!! High noon with the late Jake Phelps

[@larijaakkola8510]

Elissa is the best, gnarly style.

[@wadewilson5309]

And yea I seen that one 50 yrs 50 tricks pretty smooth

[@colinjones6649]

Encourage your kids in anything they are passionate about.

[@headphoneactivist]

living legend.
