One Of A Kind Skateboard Museum | SkateHoarders: NHS Factory Season 1 Ep 3

Jeff Kendall takes us on a trip through time in part of the NHS offices and factory. No shortage of nostalgia (or history) here-from old ads to graphics that never ran, original screens, one-offs, old Indys and even the first-ever Santa Cruz board... Sit back, settle in and enjoy the tour that only scratches the surface of this factory of treasures. If you ever get a chance to visit this place, do it.

[@tim1309]

These skate hoarders series are super cool✊

[@joshuapowell1822]

Tim Myers agreed, makes me super jealous. Haha

[@theshamanarchist5441]

This is my era of skating (87 - 90) and one of my first really good decks was a Santa Cruz Big Ugly face in '88 (in blue) shown at the start. Back then most lads in Britain rode Powell Peraltas but lots of my mates rode Santa Monica Airlines and Santa Cruz's. Independent trucks were bog standard for everyone. Dope man. Thanks for taking me back down memory lane. Peace

[@Rufusdos]

I remember my dad went to the states and brought back an issue of Transworld, the back pages were covered in images of all the deck graphics, the Roskopp face, Vision Gonz, all the Powell boards, Sims, Schmitt Stix, Alva, BBC. Absolutely loved it.

[@floydkelley3]

That was a trip through my childhood and a template of who I became. Thank you Jeff for taking us back in history

[@brepeo]

Hope they have good fire-proofing there. That place is a Mecca.

I was thinking a top tier security system too, think what just one or two of those original boards would go for these days. Especially as a lot of them will be sole survivors. I went through maybe 4 or 5 boards in twenty five years but I wore the tails down to an inch long nub. A lot of people used a board and moved on as soon as it got a little ding, but at my park at least, those boards were often given to the local hood kids who couldn't afford even a shit tier board, let alone a well set up genuine board. I doubt there's anything left but sawdust from any boards I owned, but I do miss a couple specific sets of Indy's with so much wear on the bushings they hardly had any rubber left to them, but so quick and responsive with so little movement. It's like riding bricks when I try a fresh set up now.

[@jewelscoop3570]

Si74l0rd you gotta get bones bushings on the bottom with the washer and indies soft bushings with no washer on the top! Max control

[@Si74l0rd]

@@colebrown8293 Uh huh, says the person typing all in caps and looking like a dumbass. I used to skate for transportation, not tricks. For me personally it's not necessary to have the newest shiniest shit, I like old and worn in, I like grungy, I like battered, I like rat rods. Your experience is different to mine, and mine to yours. I made no claim of jumping 20' gaps and drops. If you don't break the board you don't need a new one. It's that simple. You children are way too fucking entitled if you think you need a new board every week FFS. You need a new one when the old one wears out, unless of course you're the fucking poser here? Gotta have the latest crisp new graphics? Gotta have the latest board from your favourite celebrity skater like a 12 year old fanboi? Gotta waste money and resources? Yeah sure, why the fuck not, it's only trees and money! Yeah, sure, most people will have more than one board every few years, but I ain't most people, I'm sure as shit not some acne ridden, teenage punk that runs his mouth at every opportunity because the two months experience he has skating is so fucking awesome man, and he's such an expert on everything. Close your mouth, open your ears, and grow the fuck up. Everyone is different, we don't all do things the same way. To me a poser is something with a new board each week, who can't ride for shit, and carries the cunting thing around like it was the latest fashion trend. That ain't me, son.

I love skating so much. It’s in my blood. Man that collection. I can’t even imagine the worth of those items. Priceless.

[@grimsadventures-bikesnpetr7913]

Incredible, nostalgic, for an old skater like me, my first SMA was Jim Thiebaud

Being born in Santa Cruz in 1976 this really hits home, thanks so much for sharing!

These "Skatehoarders" is ASMR for all skaters... Shits awesome

[@ironmonkeyfist74]

Nothing beats or compares to deck graphics from the 80s till the late 90s. Such beautiful artwork and feels..if I had my way every wall in my house would be decorates with skateboard artwork...but..I'm married😮lmfao so in my head they all are 😅

[@Happy4774]

Jeff's a legend ,what a job to have soooo lucky!!

[@SantaCruzSkateboards]

Good times! 🙌

[@warrencurrie6454]

Need a part 2 to this. Have been to the NHS Museum - and there is so much more than this.

[@Hippie459MN]

Holy crap! I was grew up with Darren Navarrette and was best friends with him in the early 80s when we lived in Brooklyn Park Minnesota. I remember when his parents finally let him build a half pipe in his back yard when we were like 13/14 years old and we lived on that thing. And when we were about 14 his parents took us down to a skate show in Kansas City and we got to meet Lance Mountain, Steve Caballero, and Tony Hawk. That was around 1988. I still have a bunch of pictures from that trip. Him and I lost touch when I moved around 1991. I forgot all about him until I watched this. I haven't skated in about 20 years but never walked away from it. Seeing all of these boards brings back so many memories. I had one of Robs first design boards and many other SC boards over the years. Killer video!

[@leejordan5937]

Jeff u look great ! 0g street sk8r. My friends and I drove to Indyapplis and found almost every spot from the video. such a major influence on early street dayz, thanks so much

[@FuzzyDancingBear]

Every time I watch these videos I feel like I'm in heaven.

[@mattlee3400]

I wish I would’ve held on to those 70s skateboard mags my uncle gave me when I was younger. Had quite a few. Didn’t know what I had.

[@Bill_Kraft]

I always dug Kendall's style. Good to see him here.

[@alpineflauge909]

those first creature boards are sick

[@AndrewJ951]

PLEASE! Somebody get those original drawings stacked at a slant in that cabinet into a safe place! Not just getting creased and damaged atop one another.

There is a skate museum. Skatelab in Simi Valley.

Love all of Phillip’s work and Jeff Kendall was and still is rad!

[@JazzHandzLMT]

Rob Roskopp 5 was my favorite deck. The tail was monstrous

[@NitroModelsAndComics]

I would pray there every day. SC is my fave company of all time. I have quite a few around here and they start very early. My 5 ply from 76 is my fave. Rebounds and OJ 60mm. My second is a rasta Street Skate in fibreglass. That also has Rebounds but OJ Supers on it. The glass reissues are also very nice. Got em all.

[@brandona.6337]

Awesome , I skated with Kendall back in 1988 in Largo Florida at a roller skating rink that we turned into a street session and there was a half pipe at the end all the skaters were catching so much air that they had to remove the ceiling tiles !

[@sirsmokealot630]

Sick the gold ol day's before Santa Cruz became Chinese made.

[@doomguy4486]

Yeah this makes me sad, no chance to get a good reissue now. Fucked up shapes fucked up colorways and shitty quality :/

[@Suburb_hell]

Man i wish i could just play video games, watch stuff like this, and go skate and film with my friends again lol. Being 30 and working all the time sucks. It's depressing

[@toddkalbfeld4602]

What's cool is Kendall giving the tour!

[@gabantromen]

The Tom Knox Rent A Cop board was my first Santa Cruz board back in 1991

[@daskaterkyle2]

lucky enough to have been able to see this all in person. super rad!

[@strangelyfamiliar1729]

Great walk through and amazing that they still have it all!

There needs to be a 2nd part. This one was too short. Oh, The Day After really freaked me out, I still vividly remember the ending scene.

oh man...the rob roskopp monster face deck at 00:31 was my first real board. nostalgia kicking in

[@tonytone6568]

Seems like a really dope place to work at.

[@suicidalpepsi]

I want to work here!!!!!! I think I creamed when I saw all the decks in the warehouse.

[@skarceoneafd9609]

This is the best series for sure! My first board was a Santa Cruz team everslick complete

I love geekin out on old school skateboards 🤓

[@ddave7026]

I think all of us remember that DAY AFTER show. Nightmares

[@hawerddolbee1278]

I remember having a pair of those old really thick and long Independence and somehow they cracked but welded them and skated them again anyway. Also there were freestyle Independents that were sort of skinny thin trucks. But those old big monster OG indi trucks where crazy to grind

[@CT-nb5lm]

It's over? Where's the other 3 hours!! 80'S + 90's we're so memorable.. I really wanna skate those older Models like Grosso, & the Corey O'brien(with the red cartoon devil) that shape was sooo legendary. Dude was a deuche and everyonbe hated him. i forget why lol. Tom Knox was soo influential. he had a summer.. Just Hensley & Templeton with his lame ass Templetons. Something about Knox thous that still inspires me today. I pre session psyche his red curb video.. Since skating in my 40's is 75% curb skating really fast 5.0,,to 50/50,,to lip to 5.0 out lol. Thank You Jeff Kendall.. Why do we ALL know youre from Indy ;D

[@grillagabe1]

My first board was a Slasher with Indies, GMN bearings, Bullet wheels and rib bones. I don't remember the day I got married but I'll never forget my first setup that started this love affair with a wooden toy.

[@the40yogamer]

10:25 I remember the bolt would get stuck when grinding lowering it was huge for the progression of grinding

[@Nothing-qq4hd]

The day after is a scary movie based on an idea that almost happened where nuclear war ensues when a perceived threat from the aggressive soviet union of that era would launch a preemptive nuclear strike on the US and we respond leading to full nuclear fallout. The film had such an effect on then president Reagan, he called the ruskies to extend the olive branch more or less. Amazing shit as a kid we thought it was a wrap for the earth.

[@Notmatb]

I think the old creature graphics are way better than there graphics now

[@alexaraya2018]

6:14 That Natas is probably 91 or 92 I had that board, I was after the black kitty one, but the only natas they had in the store was that one.

Did the NHS tour last year. Bucket-list moment right there. If you grew up skating 70s-80s-90s then you know. I still have many of my old decks, broken and thrashed but still a reminder and record of something, even if just for myself. My first real board was a Steve Olson w/ the checkerboard stripe tip to tail. Slashers, street-Kendalls, sma Natas decks a plenty. Had that Knox everslick once, one Jason Jessee Neptune face ( was too small really ), Roskopp eye, Dressen four roses... Many others that I've just forgotten over the years, Yeah... good memories. I still have that face SMA Natas in metallic weird burgundy/violet so it was produced, probably in small quantities.

[@TheXitone]

I never realized until recently how much Santa Cruz influenced my whole idea about skating .The graphics and whole aesthetic back then was amazing.

[@itisjustacomment]

This could have been so long and full of detail. Shame we didn't get a panned shot of all the decks :(

Santa Cruz is my favorite skateboard brand. I have a decent collection on my channel.

[@mikehemens9359]

In the early 90s boards were way flatter till Santa Cruz started doing the opposite and the industry followed suit. It made for stronger boards but I miss the flatter standard

[@007KrausBean]

I wish I could get the Santa Cruz Marvel decks. You can't find them anywhere.
