SF 1993 RAW FOOTAGE 🌉 BACK TO THE CITY STREET SKATE Koston, Cardiel, Carroll, Speyer, Lee, Mariano

[@johnnypea43]

The sessions at EMB after these contests were epic!

I remember skating this course. You're spot on about the tech part and makes were indeed sparse. Did ollie grabs with a smile for the most part 'cause I knew they could be landed. Stuck on a metal pipe doing the Natas wall ollie from Contest prior. Pat showed up and 360 flipped off of a launch & over the wall to flat. Coco and McNatt destroyed the bank to box, It was cool being on the course with Jason Lee & accidently T-boning Christian Hosoi and thinking sh*t I just bowled over a legend ( he was super nice about it, asked if I was ok, and kept skating ) Oh and those bright blue helmets you're seeing are the loaners from the organizers for guys like me who showed up without one. I hit a double flip on the far most bank to bank and called it a day. it was my 25th Birthday.

[@hugoalvelos4463]

Sorry to hijack your comment but didn't you use to skate with Duffy a lot? My memory is hazy but I think I remember reading about it in the late 80's.

[@rebusd]

Coco Santiago was one of my heroes

No way! this is epic! nice find / digging!!!

[@RealSurfStories]

Deep digs 🤣

[@SteeleWars]

Please make an edit of the makes. This gave me early 90's PTSD. But I love your videos Tony!

[@RealSurfStories]

thank you! Will do!!

[@chester3621]

they need to recreate this contest and invite the same pros. I think that would be a blast! they do it for the "bowl masters" so....

[@Thrasher360]

This is really cool, thanks for posting.

[@guyfromsouth1976]

Thanks for posting this .

[@lynncampbell962]

These SF contests were amazing. Terrible setup but great skating. This is how we chill from 93 'til.

[@chester3621]

I've only seen snippets of this in the old plan B vid, shocking how many are missing regular kick & heelflips. ED KILLED THAT DESK.

[@guyfromsouth1976]

1h09m35 beautifull switch front side flip by Danny Way too .

[@guyfromsouth1976]

Eric Koston is "the man" at his period , i remember very well the contest and i have at home the trasher magazine with him on the cover in front side flip , i was my inspiration few years when i was a young man .

[@kwote]

Awesome! I can’t wait to watch this. Thank you! I was there. What I remember most without watching the footage was Jason Lee and Souls of Mischief. Good times! 🤙

[@guyfromsouth1976]

1h45m50 Switch 3-6 flip Eric Koston destruction . . .

[@guyfromsouth1976]

42m00 incredible Adam Mcnatt 3-6 flip grind !

[@Donkeysj]

Whaaatt! This is amazing.

[@hankever6160]

Man, i love this old footage and remember this contest from the Questionable video and Thrasher mag. But this is crazy. Nearly two hours and not one single trick was landed. 🤣🤣🤣

[@RealSurfStories]

Seven stomps in the first minute.

[@chrishendricks4613]

Everybody is skating so sloppy 😂

[@artomarto679]

No Monster, no Red Bull, No girls

[@RealSurfStories]

Two of three not bad 🤣

[@ricricci7511]

was it helmet day???

[@chrishendricks4613]

Didnt realize Wade Speyer was so techy.

[@chester3621]

was that Dave Metty?

[@bingobango4840]

Two hour video. Total tricks landed... 3.

[@RealSkateStories]

More like 300 or 3000. There were four tricks landed in first 20 seconds! ✔

[@jeromeandre4915]

"Filmed by a blind man on a pogo stick" (If you know, you know!)

[@RealSurfStories]

🤣

[@bingobango4840]

The dawn of popsicle decks. I'd like to go back in time and erase them from skateboarding.

[@hugoalvelos4463]

The dawn of no concave, wheels that were more like bearing covers, every board looked the same and felt the same and broke as fast.

[@curtdoty]

Where would we be w/out them? The skateboards leading up to them were even worse. As a skateboarder who started in the 70’s & hasn’t had any breaks in between to present day, I’m grateful for evolution & all the advancements along the way.

[@chester3621]

@@curtdoty agreed. skating those big tanks was hard for me, I was a little guy. things evolved for the better. Nostalgia does get to me sometimes when I see a old board i had or wanted... but once I stand on it it feels terrible. don't go back go forward.

[@Beechgoose1]

Tiny, rock-hard wheels, i was at the bar mate. You like your ads mate, a bit too much.

[@RealSurfStories]

Yes, most who get paid do.

[@stevenbaker436]

Nothing on lock.

[@pjchmiel]

It appears you posted the same 2 hours of footage twice with two different names, the other one is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3qshWubhbemaa8

[@RealSurfStories]

Yes...and? I posted one on Real Surf Stories and once on Real Skate Stories as I have two distinct subscriber bases.

[@mariohuerta6188]

embarrassing

[@sattercaster1]

Wow, MAYBE 1-10 actually land anything. Glad I quick scanned and bailed. Did anyone actually sit and watch 2 hours of fail?

[@RealSurfStories]

This raw footage fittingly defines that era. Skateboarding went "too tech" for a minute and a low make ratio was a part of it. But the hundreds of clean makes in this video of- at the time- brand new flip tricks, amongst the mayhem- were revolutionary.
