SKATING A 1960 SKATEBOARD

[@bubatzbuben4052]

i want to see the reaction of skaters in the 60s saw someone double flipping or tre flipping

[@brannonmoser6904]

The first Ollie was a competition trick back then lol

Their minds would have been blown. It would have been harder to do because the boards back then didn't have much tail.

[@billyodizzie9290]

It's crazy how far skating has come since then

[@Tw1nzpwn4gE]

im actually more amazed of how far skating came back in the days with such boards lol

[@s.willis8426]

@po pi po pi Snowboarding didn't show up until the late 70's and was still in it's infancy in the 80's and the boards were horrible compared to what would be developed in the 90's and beyond. Skiing took a bit from modern snowboarding with the "shaped skis" that have come out since the boarders invaded "their" mountains.

[@johnjohnson7509]

If you were to show that kid skating in the 60s tony hawk, his mind would be blown

[@bomt6259]

i think it crazy that its basicly the same thing wood with wheels but so much has been done in the tricks and its 60year and people still arnt bored with it

i’d really like to see you skate a 10 inch or wider deck, maybe with super wide trucks too with a reissue deck 😍 help me guys!

It would be cool for sure! I think 10 inch decks are rough to do flip tricks with though.

wow I can't even do a kick flip on a normal board, this guy is insane

[@Killalot42]

check his other videos, probably one of the best in the world trick list wise.

[@StonyTable]

Lol He is pretty insane. I love flatground tricks more than any other kind, and thats what he is progressively mastering. But as for some of the most talented guys and best tricks that even Giger cant do, check out his videos labeled like “ 100 craziest tricks...” “50 insane tricks to check...” . He has a handful of videos like that, they will make me rewind every slo-mo every few tricks just to see what even happened.

[@StonyTable]

I love doing kickflips on my flatnosed nickel board. Its possible to flip it triple or even quad but obviously really hard to land

can remember trying to build something similar in the early 80s with my sisters old pair of rollerskates and a piece of wood we tried to cut into a skateboard shape ..was terrible and awesome at the same time

Amazing Jonny. Just goes to show that even way back then, these things were possible, and all it took was someone creative enough to imagine that it was possible.

It almost time to buy another deck. I’ve been on that daily grind! Yesterday I landed my first 50-50 grind and today I did my first backside kick turn on a quarter pipe and pumped a half pipe better than I ever have.

thanks for watching? no man, thanks to you for making this beautiful and relaxing video :)

[@richardgardiner3824]

The sound of this board gliding on the concrete is so satisfying!

[@stephenmiller5023]

In 1967 at age 7 , I got my first skateboard, a “ Black Knight “ model with clay wheels & open ball bearings . It taught me very quickly that concrete , though it looks comforting while riding a ‘67 Schwinn stingray on it , can be a real Bitch on a board 😬😐. Now at age 63-1/2 my Body still finds on occasion that cement hasn’t softened ONE BIT whenever I misjudge something while out at local spots doing what I’ve loved to do on 4 small wheels bolted to a piece of wood for almost 50 years . Thanks for this one , pretty cool. 😎👍

13:11 - The boards in the background on that ledge. Filmed at that very spot on purpose? I think so.

[@jacobanderson2285]

So people have been jumping down stuff on skateboards since it's inception that's pretty cool , I had always thought that stuff came a bit later but the little kid hitting the ledge on the 60s board was awesome

[@AbjectPermanence]

This board was shredded enough to look like it is an actual relic. It's crazy to think all these things were always possible and it took years for people to figure it out.

[@Jeff-pl3wp]

A board like this is all about flow.

[@ryanderangedmanclason8247]

What's the music in this video, all of its so perfect

[@g90gino83]

Jonny that was dope!!!

[@G7ennx]

Skateboards didn't have polyurethane wheels until the mid '70s. They were metal, clay or rubber. The real experience of a board made from a roller skate was how badly it rolled. I rode mine down slopes that would be unthinkable on even the crappy open bearing urethane wheeled board I got in '77. The roller skate also had untunable very wobbly steering, the trucks and wheels you're using evolved out of skateboarding and redefined the roller skate in about 1979. It's still very cool seeing you ride it though.

[@danwelsh6182]

Perfect music for this vid!

[@michaelmurray8793]

This was such a great video. I have always wanted to make a board like that but I dont have the tools.

[@HoodSwami]

[@dextersbeard3472]

I have a Bahne or Baine..I can't remember how it's spelled and I'm not looking at it right now but it's vintage from the early 70s I think. It was my dad's and the bearing and wheels are so good still. But my uncle was skateboarding back when they use to put metal wheels on boards

The original wheels were made out of literal CLAY though...and they would sometimes crumble lol

[@ronbathsear5845]

Wow transition guy went off!!!
