Hopping Fences & Draining Backyard Pools ALL DAY w/Salba

Give Salba his own pipe/pool show PLEASE! On the road, his knowledge is priceless.

Serious. He’s our Yoda.

@@75YBA He might even be more of a conceited prick than Tony or BAM? Santa Cruz & Jeff Kendall, thanks for turning 'skateboarders' into 'air brain' 'thots', like Salba, Tony and BAM. Skaters are 'deuschebags' of 'epic proportion'. Thanks Santa Cruz, you cool! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHXNqGyvbNGbgZY

I could watch Salba and Eric Dressen all day.

[@Popesontour]

Salbas rocks bro! I was coming down the hill from Arrowhead every day I could catch a ride to Pipe. Had the privilege of seeing a pretty good session in the Combi with Salbas and Lester was there along with a bunch of the other guys. 85-86. I still remember the day a little kid landed on the flat and busted his teeth. Looking back at how rad and sketchy skating that beast was! Shredding knee pads and laces! Because it was rough and would wear holes in the toes of your shoes. Thats how you knew that you skated vert pools. We had a decent ramp in Crestline but Pipe ruled the day ❤! Love hearing Salbas stories and watching my old contest videos ❤! IE for life!! Edit: I can't believe you mentioned the ElCortez downtown San Diego! We snuck in there once. We skated then drank beers up on top of the lobby roof! Anybody remember that!?? Edit: I keep remembering other shit here! But who remembers the Santa Cruz vert wheels with the groove down the middle? Man and they were 97s 98s really hard like the Rat Bones 97s. But I had a lime green set of those on my Lucero Designs big blue vert board. It was like the first deck I had with a true front kick nose and I could do this awesome front side nose grind on this first modern ramp we had with just about 6" of vert and 5 sheets 20' wide with two full sheets flat. Man, this was in 92-93. I was really on my vert game around then. I joined the Navy got stationed in San Diego so it was awesome I skated with a couple Navy buddies all over San Diego and then went home to Apple Valley on the weekends and skated with my buddies at home! But I got my discharge from the Navy and got strung out on heroin. No shit right! Well I got busted for robbing the cigarettes store on Bear Valley. I ended up in prison with Josh Swindell. Man we spent hours talking about skating and looking at pictures! So I love Salbas stories! It really is memory lane ❤! I'm driving semi trucks in Texas now and still skating! I just skated with my granddaughters at Christmas! I love just chopping around the streets in their neighborhood! Shows you how skating is multigenerational and really brings families together!! Keep it up Salbas❤!!

[@PauloBerni699]

I’m 58 and grew up reading about Salba in the old Skateboarder magazine. Yesterday I just bought his new board release for bowl riding. This is a crazy surreal experience that he’s still such a prominent fixture.. and this old dude is buying his boards 40 plus years later.

[@bigben1986]

So awesome dude!

[@analog_memories]

Salba is so damn rad. He is such a legend!

[@scottcheely7553]

Goes without saying, Legend! Thank you Salba for being you!

Thankyou so much, Alba, my first Skateborad when i was 14, this tiger...WoW...thans MR.Alba to keep inspiring this 43 years oldboy, and ofcourse, thanks for the rest of the crew and keepRolling!!

[@James_cowley]

Salba is the nicest guy at the park. I was skating McVicker one weekend morning and he made sure I got my runs in the bowl in between him and the other dudes in his crew / at the park that morning. I may have been half way between watching in awe and being intimidated enough not to skate so it was super awesome.

[@thethe3244]

You got to get in there; don't be intimidated. They want to see people skate and make their tricks, too.

[@therealcoreyreece]

Hands down the best video I've ever seen on KZbin.

[@danmarsh6519]

Would be amazing if you had a similar video W Lance Mountain :) :)

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

I am so glad I am not the only Gen X skater still alive. Killer upload guys, it brought me back to my youth for a bit.

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

Still rollin indies too, I will never get another brand of trucks. I will die loyal to Independent. I am 46 on a deathwish Jamie Foy big boy, with indi 8.25's I didn't even have to think about my trucks. Sadly I orderd them with med bushings. I am 180lbs that was a squeaky mistake. Going to Tampa skatepark tomorrow to get some hard ones.

Salba forever! Greetings from Croatia, from 40 yrs old skater. Got some April '99 issue of TWS with Great interview with him in it.

[@RyanLynnWood]

I love seeing old vert pros riding street, even if just for min! ❤️

[@jpzaucha22]

Steve is my idol I am 56 and no stopping even getting better with age yes my hours of skating are cut back but the soul is still there with no end in sight I rode as a flow rider in Chicago . I was there for the famous Alva photo in Chicago there is a couple with me in it and sometimes it is used and people don't know there is a different guy in the photo I had dreadlocks and fit right in .

[@the_laybacks]

Those shirts with the Indy cross that Salba is wearing is siiiiiick. I would totally buy those.

[@megustasonia]

Mister Salba, when i started skating i bought your pro model with the tiger on it. Best board ever and thanks for inspiring me and my friends to ride!

[@marissac870]

This shit is fucking rad. I love it. Chris cope and jesse lindloff shout outs. Fuck yeah SalBa knows the deal

[@stuartliddle7228]

Thanks. Good to see Salba. (Edit!!) and Lance and Omar!..... (2nd Edit!) LORD SALBA.killing some geetar...(3rd edit, ) Best skateboarding film this year. easy. 100%. Love it. Thanks

[@brentstewart4360]

yeah, the story about riding the first Stage 1 Indys is so true - they were a total gamechanger - I heard about them at the Los Altos pool back in the day, and got them as soon as I could, never looked back

[@mikehemens9359]

It's said that at that time the Indy crew all rode tight trucks riding vert. The trackers you could ride loose on vert. I ride really loose Indys and almost eat shit running and jumping on my board all the time!

[@pt257]

Winko and Salba skating together! Epic!

[@johncutrone1]

This is so rad dude, I hope anyone who’s up and arms about the iron cross see’s this and understands that there no hate with the logo. Salba is the radest dude ever that lives his life in the most purest and most positive way and he’s surrounded by the logos constantly. I love Indy and I hope they don’t fold. This is skateboarding, nothing else....

[@Wooargh]

I'm pissed off they changed it. Bought my first pair back in the 80's. Never associated it with the Iron Cross, and even if I did I wouldn't care. For a company that tries to brand itself as hard it was a weak thing to do.

[@beemelonhead1]

Censoring is never good. Just plain bullshit. These sensitive attention whores are going to look back one day and realize what they did and regret it.

[@stschannelt1476]

People have found images of the first couple of independent shirts made its clear as day that the iron cross logo waa based off of a nazi metal. Brands being edgy to sell to people is a common thing so dropping it was for the best.

[@beemelonhead1]

@@stschannelt1476 who cares? I grew up not thinking or knowing it was some controversial symbol. All it was is the "indy cross" and that's what it should stay. This cancel culture shit is just that... shit.

[@beemelonhead1]

@@stschannelt1476 it is totally plausible that a few centuries into the future some company might slap a swastika on their product as a logo without understanding the controversy it would cause today. I don't think that Indy was like yea we're pieces of shit, let's use the iron cross to let everyone know! No.. it's just a symbol that looks cool and it's original meaning has lost all of it's fervor, completely lending it's use in other areas of culture.

The fact Steve Alba has NEVER had a job in his life, has lived off his sponsors for 40+ years is a total inspiration. I'm sure he's had lean times when he's encountered large emergency expenditures like car or home repairs where he wishes he had a larger income but for all intents and purposes this man's sponsors have cut him a check every month to do his passion: ride backyard pools. It's a dream job.

[@fintanoclery2698]

Steve has been the CEO of Salba Pool Service for decades. That's hard work in itself.

[@misterslats]

@@fintanoclery2698 That was a tiny boutique company that was around for a cup of coffee during the Concrete Wave period where all sorts of old school guys were putting out pool boards. Like being the CEO of a hobby.

Why I was so amazed by Billy Zoom was he rarely looked at his guitar..like what he was playing...most guitar players look more often that not at what they were playing..but Billy Zoom hardly did..he was and still is awesome... I love Poison Ivy....I saw the Cramps a number of times back in the day..I miss Lux and the Cramps....Salba ought to do a show like Grosso but his own way..it would be pretty dang cool.

I met Salba at one of his shows in Baltimore. He was so cool and stoked to talk skateboarding and music.

[@mikeh2520]

The best pool that I remember was the 12' deep keyhole pool at the Cherry Hill Skate park in New Jersey. Shogo Kubo was the resident pro and it was just me an him in the big pool.

[@mikeh2520]

That's funny @28:52. I had a similar experience when a guy came up to me at Sunset Beach, Hawaii and wanted me to sign a magazine cover. The magazine was "Surf Portugal" which was their main magazine at that time. I was on the cover standing in a huge Sunset barrel with my arms reaching straight up. I tried like mad to get the guy to give me or sell me the magazine. He didn't speak english and I couldn't speak Portuguese and he only wanted me to sign it. We never came to terms. I was both thrilled and really pissed at the same time. The US surf magazines would never publish pictures of any surfers that didn't already have sponsors lined up who were already flowing the magazines money for advertisements. The whole meritocracy that I had imagined it to be just was never there. I had known sponsored guys that had gone on the surfing world tour, just surfing waist high slop all around the world, and had finished their year in debt because they couldn't even cover their expenses.

This was a great vid! Inspiring on all levels. Dig his various styles on guitar. I dig Poison Ivy and Ray Barbee too! The open tuning slide stuff and Bigsby action was as cool on that tight corner carve grind in the pool they drained.. The stretching has to be part of the secret to the longevity. I can barely sitting my almost 50 year old ass Indian style on the ground for 5 minutes. Salba you're motivating to get life in gear. Just not as much f-bombing....ha!
