Ocean Howell and Markus Wyndham: The Architects of Tech Street Skating

Dive into the groundbreaking era of 1990 street skating, where H-Street legends Markus Wyndham and Ocean Howell led a silent tech revolution in skate culture that would change the game forever. Join us as we explore their collaboration with "Risk It" filmer and editor Tony Roberts, the man behind iconic camera angles and techniques that transformed the way street skating was captured on video, immortalizing their NBD tricks and unseen creativity. Witness the innovation that laid the foundation for modern skateboarding in their classic Risk It parts.
Music by The Eclipse
The Eclipse was a band that were friends of Ocean and Markus' named Johnny and Tim Eades’, two brothers from their neighborhood. They gave Tony Roberts (Risk It filmer/editor) a four-track cassette tape to use for their part. The Eclipse never released anything else and faded into obscurity, unexpectedly leaving an all-time iconic skate soundtrack gem that was loved by generations of skaters up to present day.
