POWELL PERALTA: 14 Things You Didn't Know About Powell Peralta (2020)

[@ShredzShop]

Who is your favourite Powell Peralta team rider of all time and why?! ALSO: Anyone own any crazy rare old Powell Peralta gear?!

[@memorysometimers3067]

Shredz Shop Steve Cab! Love those half cab vans.

[@edwardduarte7393]

Powell Peralta made great gear. The boards and wheels lasted forever. I rode my cubes for years. CAB is the GOAT because you had street CAB as well. A lot of guys are buying Cab's dragon reissue. Good for Cab.

[@ShredzShop]

True! How many other pro's have had a street and vert career, plus stayed a relevant name in skateboarding for 3 decades. No one.

[@puppetshow360]

Lance Mountain

[@BrandonHanson]

Danny Way, in his early teen years just like Collin McKay and Frankie Hill. They were blowing everyone's minds at their ages.

[@N3XUS6]

Lance was and still is the heart of skateboarding!

[@christophersawyer253]

Argyle The Galactic Nomad I fully agree! Lance and also Gonz make me wanna skate.

[@Gusto_UFO]

Lance was always my guy. I met him when I was a kid and asked him to sign my shirt. It meant the world to me.

[@Corinthians-kjv]

He is a cool dude

[@kodoyama]

100% Lance was always my favourite

[@ds74878]

I don't think people realize just how instrumental Back To The Future was to the 80's skateboard movement.

[@jamesaudiffred1140]

Absolutely. BTTF is singlehandedly the reason for the renaissance in '85-'86. Skateboarding was dead before Marty ripped the handle box off that scooter .

[@BillyN31]

I grew up in Orlando Florida and skating was everything to us kids. Making ramps and skating everywhere. It was a great childhood.

[@josuel9619]

Really sentimental for those who were afforded to ride one of those board in which I included myself. Well those dudes are all awesome but my favourite one is Steve Caballero, great skateboarder and better person so humble this dude. Thanks for the video!!!

[@mailam3706]

I love powell peralta I’m getting a flight deck once they get restocked.

[@chaddsinclairofficial]

I use to love powell till I found out you can buy there stuff for cheaper on amazon lol

[@yogeebear2599]

Guy, I think i found Chin.

[@blueghost6288]

Powell peralta was the first brand I rode

[@strat_1880]

Which Powell peralta 8.06 size range (Mellow) concave would be a good for just riding on the concrete? There are no ramps or rails just areas of concrete. Which one would be good for learning regular kicklip and easy tricks?.

Did you see that first Mike Mcgill shape....Just like lance Mountains in the 80s....loved that shape

[@sk8anddestroy792]

Not hardly..McGill had a squared nose

[@krimpet100]

those were random skateboards from the skaters, def not their 1st. That cab graphic was like his 4th graphic.

[@isaacmagana5834]

Do spitfire wheels

[@ShredzShop]

It's one we reeeeally wanna do! Just gonna be a beast of a research project!

[@johnm3946]

Lance is under estimating himself, the Bones Brigade wouldn't be the same without him. And he still shredding!

[@ShredzShop]

Skateboarding is about having fun, and Lance does that as well as any skater ever. Definitely an essential part of the brigade.

[@idmhead0160]

Totally agree. He was always my favorite

[@chrisbridston3438]

Watching these videos just brings me back .. I miss it so much .. me and my 46 year old self.. I went through so many boards .. I was usually a P&P loyalist .. BUT.. each board was their own art piece .. Rob Roscop was one of the best I had .. the arm coming through the target .. each year it would change a little more .. ripped skin off the arm .. cyborg arm.. I also loved Steve Stedham when he was with POWEL .. but got his board when he left .. the skeleton flying on the bomber plane with the Bomb in hand .. Christian Hosoi was one of my absolute fav boards and skaters .. my ultimate fav was the Steve Caballero.. UGH! So bad ass .. wasn’t a huge Hawk fan.. preferred Hosoi .. doing his Christ air with that bad ass board ! Also.. how many of u got a board from a family member that didn’t understand what was acceptable lol.. mine got me a NASH VIOLATOR .. nothing better on a kids self esteem being called “POSER” lol.. when they FINALLY GOT IT.. took me to the skate shop.. and we had them BUILD me a bad ass Caballero.. had the new RAT BONES put on .. loved those .. but I actually dug SLIME BALL WHEELS MORE .. they grabbed better .. I miss my Hosoi Hammerhead ..

[@Mario-dd9dh]

I am torn between two Powell Peralta riders, so I'm gonna mention both being my favorite riders ... Rodney Mullen and Danny Way ... also the video should have mentioned that after many, many years Mike Vallely returned back to Powell and rode for them for a few years!

[@ca9968]

My favorite brand when I started skating back in 1990, in fact, it was a Powell Peralta deck that got me into skating, I went to a buddy`s house after school and he had just got a Ray Barbee Rag Doll in Teal Green/Blue with Gull Wings and T-Bones on it, he gave me a go and I was hooked! I went home, pleaded with my parents for a board, they bought me a Variflex XPS Tony Hallam Street model for my birthday in May on the condition that if I stuck with it that they would upgrade me to a proper pro model that Christmas...by Christmas the XPS was worn down to a toothpick, they kept their promise and I got a Tony Hawk Medallion Mini (I was a short kid) with Tracker Agro`s and Rat Bones for Christmas, I tried out Santa Cruz after the Hawk but snapped it in less than 4 months so went back to Powell Peralta, owned so many over the years that i`ve lost track...

[@chewtea]

Just bought a Powell peralta skateboard and it’s sick

[@cagonzal13]

Im an 80's kid i still have my Tony Hawk bird skull board with independant trucks on Rat bones wheels. I also have a Lance Mountain board and Christian Hasoi board. I missed those times back then

[@ShredzShop]

If you have Facebook you should post a pic on “retro skateboard collectors” group! People will lose their minds!

[@joedanay949]

Awesome historical journey. Combine aerospace engineering, art and pro riders = MAGIC!

[@DavidGalich77]

That was a cool review. Sk8 history and what is going on now with boarders is awesome. Nostalgia.

[@mikeneumann4660]

Thanks for watching! 🙏🙏

[@kagetupa701]

Favorite decks, the lance mountain re issue is my favorite next to the animal chin cab red dragon!

14 things you didnt know about plan b skateboards

[@ShredzShop]

I'm sure it'll happen! It'd just be a huge one with the original Plan B and the modern version.

[@strat_1880]

Which Plan b 8.06 deck would be a good all around board not a stee just a regular simple basic one from Plan b? A Mellow one

[@JamesDeWeaver]

Great video and more like these are needed!

Glad you enjoy!!

[@nickmaatjes5611]

this series is so much fun, thank you so much!!!!

[@23Kristoffer86]

LEGENDS NEVER DIE 👊 .

[@geirkarlsen7329]

Sweet video.. I am a Norwegian who lived in Canada for a year. Skating and Snowboarding over there. I think you should think about doing a very detailed video on Mark Gonzales and also Mullen. The Gonz will forever be underrated in my view.. He is always fun to watch. I also think Frankie Hill is very important if we are going into street skating. It is worth remembering that street skaters voted him into the Powell team. On the powell team I think Hill and Valelly influenced me the most.

[@SkateRock4201]

Awesome keep doing good work

[@WarMachine0003]

Let’s get an emerica one

[@Jose-fh7nx]

What we have all been waiting for

[@vaughnmild4467]

Do one on the early smaller independent companies like Schimit Stix, Skull, Skates, Santa Monica Airlines or Madrid. Or maybe when the decks started to be shaped different like Hosoi did w/Alva 1st, and later the Hammer Head (made by Skull?). Those indy brands and the difference in board shape changed the game in the early/mid 80s. Just a thought? Good video. I wanna cry when I think about all the shit my Mother boxed a did God knows what with? I had a different Sk8 shirt for every day of the MONTH and then some back then & lotta of equipment/ decks. Uggg!

[@sheancarey106]

Awesome history lesson

[@holocaustxlx2819]

Awesome video bro.🤘

[@mv20297]

I have some old Powell Peralta stickers from 1982 that I have kept safely stored in a book.

[@ShredzShop]

Rad!

[@chriskunce3331]

I had a stack of my old worn or broken decks from the 80s. When I went off to college in 92 my mom cleaned my room and tossed it all out. 😥

[@ShredzShop]

😭😭 my parents threw out over 10 years of magazines when I moved out... I was devastated, lost a good chunk of skateboarding history

[@albertaoglifer1132]

Gleaming The Cube with Christian Slayter, great movie! Oh, and I was on the pipeline drill in that town, nice little town.

That’s rad! They’re still working on that pipeline!

[@BoZhaoengineering]

I had my first skateboard, Skull & Sword by Powell back to 1993.

[@sfath1975]

A lot of people don’t know Christian would’ve been part of the bones brigade if Tony wouldn’t have got the spot. That's when he left PP

[@cpost1558]

Tony Hawk. I wish I had all the boards I've owned. My first skate was a general issue with trackers, it was 1980. I've had many so powell boards through the 80s growing up. I wish I still had them, I think I thought they would always be available. Then I lost interest in skating from 92 till 2002. I did buy a Tony Hawk later on on ebay. I still have it but the set up is all wrong. I wish it had trackers, it has ventures. Maybe they're worth something too, because they must have been first edition. Anyway, Thanks for the video.

[@alanhansmannkurtcobain8811]

Bones Brigade forever!

[@allegedman]

Can you do one on Hook-ups boards please? Every kid on my block wanted to trade in our elements boards back in the 90s/2000s to get one. My best friend was the only one to get one.

[@ShredzShop]

I'm sure there's one coming! Love the old Hookups boards and he was doing some art direction for Birdhouse beforehand too.

[@allegedman]

Shredz Shop i had a Tony Hawk Birdhouse board as well. My Element board was a Natas Kaupas board

[@adamc231]

I will always thrash Powell Peralta I still skate Cab board's but old school.. thanks to Mullen for that darkiside slide I got it down.... but thanks for Cab... for everytime one of my friends had a new video either if they got it from the local skate shop or if they stole it from blockbuster...we saw it and we Fucking loved it..I'm 38 now and I still skate but not as much cause of work.. but I would love to see Mr.Cab in person some day after All this BS passes

[@zekkzekkk6867]

I kinda owed Powell Peralta’s breakup.. bcoz of that, this dude bought my skull tshirt for 500 dollars, as for him the brand is very sentimental and the shirt is very rare.. this happens last year..

[@marcusng8246]

And now they have Andy Anderson flight board which is one of the best boards out there. I think flight board, impact board, and maybe pop secret are the board to have. But hand down Andy Anderson's board is the most versatile.

[@michaeljohn8905]

Dude we all talked shit about each other and I’m sure the companies did the same. I’m really glad Powell & Peralta is still here with us. Regardless if something went non mainstream P&P was a major reason why we skated. Ima 50 year old skater who grew up smack dab in the middle of the 80,$. This meant that I grew up when vert was sick the. Street was sick ! Then vert was out then street was and is getting stupid now bowls and parks plus trannies and street are sick! The thing is that styles are cyclic and that what comes around goes around. We are skaters we are not like the rest of the world. We have our own little socio economic world and weather you like it today or hate it tomorrow it is a part of us and who we are and I don’t care what people say at one time I was a vision, guy wearing vision shoes and then I was wearing Powell Peralta clothes and road there boards. Then I lived for Blind then world then Real and on and on. At what time, though you have to recognize those that were here when nothing else was . You have to give respect to the people that were at the forefront of this thing we call skateboarding… shut skates NYC ! Sorry a little shout out to my hood. We have to stay together, and we have to recognize our history or else we will forget it, and that would be a shame respect to Powell and Peralta because without them, maybe we wouldn’t have gotten this far respect to all of the skateboard companies that have come and go and those that have stayed we love you for bringing us some thing that has changed our lives. Peace ✌️ mike LES SKATE NYC.

Where's the link for more info on the Blind ad? I remember when that came out actually. Yup, I just dated myself a bit there, lol.

[@ShredzShop]

Here's the Dear George article: shop.shredzshop.com/blogs/blog/blind-skateboards-heritage-re-issue-decks/ That's rad! It's such a cool series. We had the Blind re-issue boards in a couple years back, but they didn't sell nearly as well I thought they would. They were rad, hand screened and pressed in America.

[@danamcalister]

Shredz Shop because Powell Peralta wasn’t/isn’t/has never been dead! The only reason those blind decks were cool is because they looked like the old school PP decks. I didn’t even know they were supposed to be a burn. Well sounds like blind got burned more than they burned PP and that’s awesome. My faves back in jr. high and high school was the super soft rat bones wheels, the redz bearings and the Cab deck with the original dragon and not the one shown in this vid. You know when they had the regular cab deck and the mini cab. Those were sickness. But all their shit was on point. And Idk why but the only rider I didn’t like from the OG crew was McGill and it sucks because he’s a nice guy and the McTwist was clutch but there was just something about the guy that was too goody two-shoes or teachers pet type or something I just couldn’t put my finger on it, I wanted to like him but I just couldn’t Hahahaha sorry Mike, and not that you care but, I like you now tho if that’s any consolation.
