[@beavernut2079]

I’m 47 now and still remember watching this when it came out! The tricks today are insane and something we thought no one could do! I wish we could go back to these days!

[@DB742]

I skated past this era (started mid 80s to late 90s) the street tricks look basic now, but the heavier, larger decks with less concave, bigger wheels & trucks y'all youth watching this prob have no idea the strength/nuance it took to do this. This was before, decks, wheels & trucks got lighter to compliment this style. I could only flip/trick 40% what I could after skate tech got lighter/more refined.

[@kingkeef8168]

I'm 47 as well and I remember when this video came out. My crew and I would sit around watching it and get extra stoked before hitting the streets.

You'll never know the full power of this vid unless you were there.... a part of my life

[@Tigerbythetoe]

I remember when this vid came and my buddy ordered it from Thrasher and we watched it at his house. We were so blown away! Up to that point the Powell and Santa Cruz videos were our bibles, then H-Street just took what we thought was possible to the next level. We hit the streets with a vengeance that day and tried to learn all the new tricks we saw. Hand rails? We were like “Whaaat?!” Man at that time skating was progressing so fast, new tricks were coming out all of the time. Innovation was happening with new pros and new companies popping up like every couple of months. Nobody really had a half-pipe around here in Jersey so street was the thing and this was way before skating was cool so only the punks and outcasts were skaters or freestyle bikers. I begged my parents to let me build a mini-ramp in our backyard but I settled for a small ramp and a rail slider. Nowadays I kick around on my long board and a 10 year old Alien Workshop board. I don’t skate but here and there, can’t do much more than a few tricks but I still look at curbs and handrails like I used to. This video brings me back in a big way, got me stoked to get an old school board, with a shape and some real concave, long and wide with loose trucks! These band-aid boards that have become the ubiquitous standardized skate equipment just never did it for me. They lack the variety and uniqueness that defined skatings earlier times. That’s what happens when something like an art form becomes a sport, it has to fit into a package for easier commercialization. Something was lost in that transition with skateboarding. And I think some of the soul went with it. But hey that’s progress I guess.

Exactly my fellow sk8 brother 4 life!! This is why we are all connected through these amazing memory data banks called SKATEBOARDING with H-STREET!!! mm--mm--aa--ttt----Hensley!!!

[@christopherhoyt7195]

I can relate. No ramps really in NY in the 80s so we were street skaters by default. It baffles me still the way people in California talk about it like this was a choice vert or street. For them I guess it was, but no one's folks in 80s NY were going to let them build a half pipe in the backyard nor would a city build one. Thankfully that's changed because some of the places we went to find good spots the skate and the antics we got up to and I was hardly to worst offender, would make me as a parent today grateful that I know the kids are at the skate park with some degree of supervision. I personally like the double tailed boards, but I hear you that the uniformity of a sport takes away from the culture of skating. Shackle-Me-Not was the breakthrough video where skating was shown for the raw sport it is.

[@CavemanVanDweller]

Great description. The art is gone. Replaced progress with progression and competition. Pretty gay.

[@bloodyhell451]

What an impact Mike Ternasky had on skateboarding. At least we have this opus to remember him by.

To the next gen of skaters, THIS film was a gamechanger. This, to me, was the time, '88/'89 that was the end of one era and the beginning of another. You decide the rest.

It's funny how amazing this was at the time, but 2 years later was horribly outdated. The sport grew so fast. Try to explain Nyjah Huston to guys in 1988, doing flip back smiths down monster rails every try.

I get there and he rushed me to the TV and said "WE GOTTA WATCH THIS VIDEO, IT'S INSANE". I remember that I was blown away by the skating. After the video, we couldn't stop talking about it and had to go shred. It's just one of those moments in my life I will never forget.

However, like others, this was influential not just for the skating. the music has seemed to stay with me just as much as the footage.

There were a couple really great bands in there, other than that it was mostly this dude’s music. A lot of that was that weird electronic sound going on. I didn’t pick the song out for my part. To be honest, that first video, noone knew that it was gonna do what it did, you know what I mean? Maybe Mike knew, but we never thought that a year later we’d be in Europe watching it in movie theaters and doing these huge demos."

I never thought I would talk to this guy when I was little neither in his mother tongue, I didn't even know he was Swedish. At that time I thought all pros were from the USA hahaha...
