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.

[@GustoUFO]

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

[@BobbyPhoenix]

Love Powell Peralta. I've been skating them ever since 1987. Lance Mountain future primitive was my very first deck. My current deck is a reissue Steve Caballero bats and dragons street deck.

[@ShredzShop]

Lance has always been my fav! Stoked to see him doing well.

[@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!!!

[@hammerbrit69]

In 1990 I started skateboarding I watched these guys on videos over and over again soon I started With Friends of my own formed a group known as the hick-town skateboarders we all had many adventures together and were able to pick up sponsorships thanks to all the Bones Brigade members for inspiring us

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?.

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

Thanks for watching! 🙏🙏

[@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 ..

[@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...

[@aaronpowell4325]

aww, i love that end bit with lance. hes a true legend. big love to lance mountain.

My fav Bones Brigader!

[@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

[@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!

[@nickmaatjes5611]

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

[@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!

[@JamesDeWeaver]

Great video and more like these are needed!

[@ShredzShop]

Glad you enjoy!!

[@mattclark1278]

Those first 8 years were INSANE. I was what 11-19yo in the SFBA, watching Cab ride ramps, Gonz ride street - and completely wearing my BBrigade tapes out in the dark of night. Can't pick a favorite skater - even loved Rodney Mullen (freakshow). Magic years - hats off to everyone who was gutting that era out in vans, surfing couches across the world - and fueling that fire.

[@oldmanradic4243]

You forgot about Frankie Hill. His part in Ban This changed street skating. Everyone was blowing out how big he was going on the street back in 89 it was revolutionary. Then his ollie down that gap in Propaganda again changed what could be done on a skateboard. 100% pioneer of going big on the streets

[@SPANISHGALEON1975]

Absolutely..

[@kevinodoherty5760]

Add Ray Barbee to that list also..

[@ericballi4701]

Cool video and I learned some stuff. I owned a McGill model and a Caballero model back in the day. Loved those boards.

[@holocaustxlx2819]

Awesome video bro.🤘

[@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.

[@rasindies]

Great Info...

Another honorable mention for the Powell Peralta Bones Brigade team is Frankie Hill. There were so many legends.

[@ShredzShop]

Definitely!! One of the Godfathers of street/handrail skating

[@BrandonHanson]

@@ShredzShop So true! With Natas Kaupas Mark Gonzales being 2 other major legends in that time. It only lead to the next generation of icons. Pat Duffy, Jamie Thomas, Chad Muska, Heath Kirchart. and so many more.

[@composerjohn]

FYI that pic at 1:58 is Mark Gonzales, not Alan Gelfand. Gonz ollied the gap at the '89 Hawaii NSA Finals. He never rode for Powell.

[@composerjohn]

But it's a HUGE ollie gap, which I guess pays tribute to Gelfand. ;-)

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.

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.
