"Rollerblade... The Team, The Skate, The Sport" 1988 point of sale VHS (first ever in-line video)

[@MushroomBlading]

Rollerblading filmed and edited by Greg Stump before we copied skateboardings homework. Very important history. Thank you for uploading!

[@flyingonblades]

I remember that wacky face from Adam Johnson using some of this footage for “generic tour video“ but I didn’t realize it was actually Greg Stump talking on the video(in addition to other Talking Heads)...

[@ricardozaldumbide8072]

I love these videos. America's golden era. I wonder if we have a Bruce Jackson interview somewhere. I would really like to hear the stories from that pioneer

[@iRollerboot]

So dope. History AF

[@flyingonblades]

They do some 10 foot plus airs at the end. Unreal considering the lace up cuff!!

[@alcoyot]

Bruce jackson has it all figured out. This is one guy who knows where he’s at.

[@flyingonblades]

He’s the original blade god for sure!!!

[@Habeev07]

3:15 whoa... look at those earbuds!

[@Habeev07]

1:36 I love this part. I remember watching that clip somewhere like 10 years ago on YT... Bruce Jackson is a real one!! "INVERTED"

[@flyingonblades]

Yeah that’s probably the most iconic clip that was part of the intro of KFC3: straight jackit... I first saw those clips on that video and that’s what inspired me to search for this video. Took almost 18 years to find it lol

[@PanoramicGreen]

Lost media win! Your diligence paid off - loads of pure 80’s fun.

[@flyingonblades]

Maybe you could take some pointers from Bruce “AJ“ Jackson.. you’ll be a pro blader in no time

[@PanoramicGreen]

@@flyingonblades I want to be him when I grow up

[@MisyeDiVre]

Bruce Jackson really carried this video.

[@flyingonblades]

Yes, he was the man back then for sure!!!

“A TOY?!?!? Nah dude it’s a way of life” 😎

[@VibraluxMedia]

Bless you brother

[@flyingonblades]

Dude bless you! If it wasn’t for you I don’t think anyone would really even know this video existed. Even the people in the video probably confuse it with the two or three other similar projects they made! It was over 30 years ago 😂

[@bryce_is_Bryce]

Cool, funky, and fresh!

This is amazing,there will be never anything like this again

[@flyingonblades]

😁 Glad you enjoyed it!! This video is amazing

[@okthisisthelasttimeipromise]

We need more RB history shown on YT

[@flyingonblades]

Yes! Eventually I’m gonna do a video showing off every single rollerblade aggressive skate over the years

[@HeadNtheClouds]

@@flyingonblades I wish there was a Rollerblade museum of all the skates ever in production! Each year!

[@flyingonblades]

@@HeadNtheClouds Eventually I’m going to do a video where I go through the different models of rollerblade brand skates

[@kenmastersmaster]

My uncle got me into rollerblading in the 90s... Except we couldn't afford real rollerblades so we bought knock off rollerblades called roller derby that came with abec5 bearings and neon green clear wheels. They looked so dope... But within a few years the shell dry rotted and shattered like an Easter bunny chocolate shell from just squeezing it. Today I'm on twister 3wds...

[@flyingonblades]

Honestly Roller derby was pretty decent. I started on variflex blades myself!

[@marcinderewonko5808]

Funky!

[@Fr0g_e]

Fire 🔥

[@leonardticsay8046]

This would be great vaporwave source material.

[@flyingonblades]

Omg you are right! I didn’t even think about that but I love vaporwave ❤️

[@JanWelch]

rad

[@flyingonblades]

Sometimes we overuse the word rad but this video is the epitome of “radical“!!! 😁

[@JanWelch]

@@flyingonblades It truly is. Great find and thanks for sharing!

Aka, "Mega To The Max!"

[@jankmedia1985]

The illest. Well done Sir.

[@flyingonblades]

Thank you! Took me years to find this one... I was researching on the Internet trying to find out about the video since 2004 and actively searching for it on eBay since 2013-ish. No one even knew what it was actually called until I finally found it 2 weeks ago

[@busyboxst7]

Does Bruce Jackson = "Action Jackson" from Vertical Axis or VG1 ??? Or one of those dawn of skating videos.

[@flyingonblades]

Yea same guy! He made up his own nick name lol

[@busyboxst7]

@@flyingonblades what a champ. Wonder where he is now.

[@flyingonblades]

I’ve heard he hangs at Venice beach or something and posts random stuff on some form of social media

[@amyjgarner]

I did my homework, lol. This was awesome. The jumps at the end...geesh. So was Rollerblade the only inline skate company at the time?

[@flyingonblades]

Rollerblades hit the market in about 84/85 but distribution was pretty spotty…. You could only get them in ski shops for the most part. from 1986 on they were more widely available, and the minute they had nationwide distribution, imitators popped for sure. By 1988 you probably had ultra wheels, Seneca and Variflex to name a few.

[@kenmastersmaster]

I wonder what all these guys are up to today....

[@flyingonblades]

Jill Schulz is now married.. she goes by Jill Transki and is responsible for the “All wheel sports” show at Knott’s berry farm amusement Park. Bruce AJ Jackson has recently founded a smart clothing tech company. Pat Parnell has had a lot of tv hosting/espn gigs over the years.

[@flyingonblades]

You know when I first saw that clip it was in the skate video “KFC4 generic tour video“... I was like “who is this liar talking about going 90 miles an hour?”.... now that we have the original video we can see that he was an actual comedian! Freaking awesome 😎

[@_sun_protection_]

I wanna rollerblade and be hardcore

[@flyingonblades]

Do it! You’ll get all of the babes 👌🏻

[@Neon.Maniac]

Always wanting new bladers to get into the sport. Mind, body & soul, it will change your life for the better.

[@kenmastersmaster]

Did the dude just call himself a "flying monkey" where's the PC police....

[@flyingonblades]

It’s all good; we know he was being a chill fun dude. No racial undertones, just a guy who imagines himself as a literal monkey. Common sense was actually common back then so people just assumed what he meant. Kinda reminds me is the movie “Step Brothers” where the Father/Step-Father use to imagine that he was a dinosaur 😂

[@kenmastersmaster]

@@flyingonblades is that the will Ferrell movie? Gotta rewatch that... All I remember was prestige worldwide

[@flyingonblades]

@@kenmastersmaster yes sir that’s the one! It’s a modern classic. :)
