Kicking It With... Eric Dressen | OJ Wheels

[@JahEerie]

Dressen is the real deal - 40 years in & still a stoked Grom. That Speed Freaks part still gets regular rotation. Thanks dude.

[@ZolusProps]

Dressen was my favorite skater when I was like 9 to 12 years old. There was an everslick ad in Thrasher in like 91ish where he was sliding over the tootsie roll curb gap and I thought it was the coolest ever. Now that I'm older seeing him rip still to this day is the coolest thing.

[@agostocobain2729]

I don't think the groms today know what kind of a beast Dressen was. Dude would ride fast with style. Dressen is sick

[@bobh9333]

Badder than most yet nicer than most. Dressen rules!

[@mastersamurai7683]

Seems your right

[@fireproofvb]

Dressen is so fuckin mellow man. Absolute legend. I almost like seeing him skate more these days than when he was younger. You can feel the gratitude and joy he gets just from skating a mini ramp or bombing a childhood spot. Great vibes.

[@Caveman13lake]

Weeman in a OJ video!

[@paulinusrubinus9881]

Hell yeah dressen is the man, those clips of Weeman were gnarly!!@

[@StreetKingpins]

You're the man Eric! Stoked to see you still skating and pushing the scene.

[@themoog924]

Two absolute rulers right there.

[@elmercyperro]

Watching him carve down a hill gets you so fired up

[@memorysometimers3067]

Such an awesome part of skateboarding - history and friends you make over the years all from skateboarding!! Love me those Super Juice!! Have a great day everybody :) Cheers Dressen and OJ!

[@markjohnston3790]

Eric has always been a chilled out dude, original Skateboarding true Legend!

[@ericdonalson2294]

If it wasn't for docs like this it would be impossible to still sk8 ...! Thanks :-)

[@jmkenny]

The world is a safer place when new Eric Dressen content is dropped!

[@kingofthedeepsea2458]

[@marlowkaplan3584]

[@thebillcollector]

[@crossmember343]

[@mikerafonemusic6177]

I remember seein you in the mags when i was a kid..im 56 i still got a board

[@artdudivin]

46 years old and still have a board too my friend...

[@roddymac998]

Snap 45 and riding a roskop re issue gull-wing jay Adams and t bone wheels. Super smooth. I started in 85 an I must admit I was a complete h street head. But between speed freaks or bones brigade I always swayed towards the speed freaks ✌️

[@skarceoneafd9609]

This makes me happy I’m pushing 40 and I won’t stop skating till I can’t move anymore

[@warwicklilley4160]

35 years rolling NZ Thanks E Dressen n Oj's I Once carved a spine out of a larch tree For a local chiropractor For a year of regular adjustments Spine nerve pinch can be relieved this way , osteopath is What's helped me through injuries Slams still hurt, bruises grazes Sprains it's a tolling game Still live for Grinds -Slides n PoP!

[@korujaa]

A LEGEND, tks Eric Dressen for Speed Freaks tricks. GOOD TIMES.

[@jeffreylawton328]

Dressen and Grosso. My childhood summed up in two dudes that absolutely live and love skating. ❤

[@mikecynic5167]

Eric Dressen is skateboarding. Will always be my favorite. Who can say they've skated for everyone from Logan to Santa Cruz. Nobody. It's a great thing he made it out of the drug booze thing. As an older skater seeing dudes like Dressen makes me feel like a slouch, lol.

[@rubidium330]

Great video

[@lowbow9028]

I ordered OJ wheels in early 90’s. I still have’em. Today, those are barely bigger than bearings. 💪

[@yandman26]

Dressen is such a cool dude, the mini pup was my first ever board in about 88'

[@emmalee8167]

Love miniboards !!!

[@marissac870]

Jason on Oj's? Everyone should be. I just got a set of Nora's. I tried them on a friend's board and I dug them harrrd Ordered them the next day. Mmmmmm. Getting the Nolan Johnson Scram Lupe ones next!! Big ups

[@Sapoguapo]

Eric is the man! Been watching him rip for three decades now.

[@tradewinds2319]

I had your Dogtown pro model in 80's. You shred.

[@sharktooth2888]

I love that set up with the Orange OJs Indys sweet big board 8.5 , he always rode beefy. Respect.

[@pierredelectojr6340]

Hey nice surprise seeing Wee Man! Wasn’t expecting to see him when I clicked the video.

[@EverymanJWL]

I am hoping for that (original color) blue mini pup reissue!!! Yeah Dressen was awesome man. Good to see him still doing it.

[@isolationdisorder]

Eric is one of the sickest to ever ride the plies. Back in his Alva and Dogtown years, he was one of my Heroes. He still is. I am 50 years old this year, and I have a Brand New Dressen reissue set up for spring.

[@kyle4931]

Eric is the man

[@carlosortega3164]

weeman yes yes legend of the skate..! elemt its forever

[@troytree123]

Nice!

[@traddad9172]

Dressen been living the hesh life before all these spoiled kids mimicked it- *Skate or Die*

[@johnpark888]

1,000%

[@rustyshackleford9446]

I bought my first Dressen board in 88' at Giggles skate shop.... With some Oj's, of course🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@billymullins1357]

That speed freaks downhill part was sick, and the overpass gap was gnarly in too loud for the crowd.

[@RANGERIZZY]

🔥🔥🔥ERICK DRESSEN 🔥🔥🔥

[@seekah1]

Much love to ED, one of the best, thanks for this.

[@sonnypearce5279]

yes!

[@CaliBreeeze]

Fuckin OG man still ripping! Much respect ✊ hope I’m half as good when I get older

[@marco77ar]

Eric D........ people forget about this guy.....before gonz, natas, vallely..... Dressen......✌️🤙👍

[@joshgade1363]

He wasn't before Natas!

[@mr_ozzio5095]

Natas got a thrasher clover in 85/86, doing some wallride stuff and was'nt even pro yet😎😎😎

[@marco77ar]

Well technically he turned pro like at nine, in the late 70s..... didn't work out skating died, but once you're pro, even if it's for like a year or two, can u back to amateur??? He delivered pizzas on a gator board, until people started noticing him again... But dressen is a dogtown boy....( Maybe second gen.).... But he's been at it for a long time... Oh he got into the transworld skating HOF, for the FIRST part of the 80s, Mike McGill got second part of the 80s.... Now if that's a fact....tell me am I lying?🙂👍✌️🤙🙂 I just resaw he's speech... He skated for Alva, when he was 11 also....and it's the vans hof, not transworld skating.

[@johnpark888]

They fuckef him over by not giving his salad grind credit in tonyhawk

[@mahoney1360]

Lawrence has been my chiro for over a decade 👍

[@FRIGIDBASTARDS]

Man I wish I had someone like that to fix me.

[@gnarbyq4667]

Dr Bowser!! Love that guy. Not only an incredible natural healer, but just a great person period. So stoked that he got some shine.

[@mahoney1360]

_Sneed_ where do you live? He’s in Orange County, CA. I moved to AZ but I still drive to CA to see my old pal Lawrence.

Seeing the older generation still getting it keeps me so hype to keep skating.

[@SERGIO-ym5pc]

First board I got was a Dogtown Eric Dressen pup size back in 88 or 89 with my gullwing street shadow trucks and Powell Peralta mini rats.

[@mattobenvenuto]

Favorite skater ever

[@calebsollars4783]

Met Dressen at the R.I.P. ride rally so chill n down to Earth. First pro to sign my shit that day.

HBD Eric! Randomly clicked on this today.

[@paulrevere2928]

Eric Dressen super chill talented 2nd generation Dogtown was in Skateboarder Magazine Who’s Hot at like 10-12 yrs old! Sobriety and good karma serves him well!After Savannah Slamma 2 he came to Atlanta for a week or two and went skateboarding w us and busted his forehead/eye at a mini ramp we took him to. Thanks for skating w us Eric! Peace

[@nittlenits101]

Weird man this popped up...I was staring at my framed issue of thrasher with the robert William's cover, and Eric dressen's name was on the cover....weird man.....

[@fattzo_films]

Nicest guy in skateboarding right there. Eric D fuckin’ rules!

[@tonchido]

Dressen legend

[@jackawful4541]

What is that trick he's trying called? The fingerflippy thing

[@morgellon9449]

Good stuff. First Dressen part I saw was in the 1984 Clothing video Let it Bleed. He shares a part with Aaron Harrison in that video. I think that's the only VHS skate video I still have. Here's a link to Dressen's part in that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHaXnJyeed6erpo His Speed Freaks part is one of my favorite parts from anybody, ever. It's kind of a bummer old classic videos from the 80's weren't available at shops when I started skating. I read about it way before I ever got to see it. Anything from that era I could find in the 00's was gold. Let it Bleed had some really sick 70's-era footage of Alva and and Mike Muir skating bowls. That's such an awesome and forgotten video from the early 00's.

[@erichlf]

My first board was a Santa Cruz Eric Dressen.

[@austindanquer92]
