I know it was called street back then, but, in reality this is the precursor to the modern park skateboarding. Bowls with hips and big bank walls etc. A few years after this street skating became a whole different ball game. So in essence Steve helped mold vert/pool skating and the modern park scene. Certainly one of the greatest.

And he is the name bearer of the best skate shoe ever made.

My all time favorite skater. He was so smooth and just awesome to watch.

[@reidellis1988]

Me too. I'm not a fan of the ponytail. I liked the bleached hair, minor threat t-shirt look better.

[@nathanbellamy3308]

Cabs status in skateboarding is beyond legend. He is a god. He was a superstar before when Tony hawk was a grom. Kids today need to know.

[@peters8162]

He is no a god. He is a man who skateboards.

[@apoymc]

true - he is a god of skateboarding just like Mullen

[@fefefilmprod8688]

They all came up together

[@RapidCycling07]

No he’s not. He’s just a man. Idolatry is a grave sin that puts souls on the wide path to eternal damnation in Hell if they don’t repent/receive forgiveness for their sins prior to death. Peace!

[@RapidCycling07]

He’s just a talented/skilled man. Idolatry is a grave sin that puts souls at risk of going to Hell if they don’t repent/receive forgiveness for their sins prior to death. Peace be with you!

From 90 to 96 _ we all went through the long hair to ponytail faze...... Even Cab.. hell, some of us got dreaded up....

[@lecanalband]

So nice to see this, gives me chills. Still got my blue mini Cab deck from back in the late 80s.

[@Boyish000]

Woah that's sick. Cab was my first favorite skater.

[@ski874]

Right on brotherman 👊 I still have the same but in red from the 80’s to and still ride it with my kids even though its kinda thrashed along with my Hawk. Bones Brigade was the shit back in the day!

[@lecanalband]

@@ski874 Cool that you still ride it! I brought mine to a skate park some years ago and it was fun. Had my old Gold wings trucks and T-bone wheels on. A kid came up and said it looked cool, then he asked if I built it myself 😄

[@lecanalband]

Meant Gullwings

[@Boyish000]

Crazy how back in that time this could be called street skating. Dope.

[@neuvocastezero1838]

The video is entitled "street skating", but the posters for this event probably read something more like "skateboarding demo".

[@superduperman7202]

That dude had some energy. Barely let up on that heavy old board.

[@mc540flip]

The Legend

[@samuelmunoz2786]

Amazing footage!

[@gb342002]

Still have my signed poster from him that I got at Warped Tour in '03

[@bluepenrose3478]

Never see much transition in the street

[@rebusd]

His style... there's only one Cab in my book.

[@kevinbyrd4441]

The Cab and half cab.

[@cookncrook6902]

I wouldn’t call transition “street skating”.

[@marissac870]

Back in the day they'd have piles of sand sprinkled somewhere on the " course" and the sand trap was an obstacle lol

[@pepijnberns3293]

Sick ripping As always. Whats the song called? I like it

[@brianmclendon1647]

Can rules

[@DiegoKotz]

Like28

[@Mrmannycalvera]

Does anyone know the song of this video ?

[@neizanalgren7475]

Street? Lmao

[@marissac870]

I remember seeing an old video of street skating and a pile of sand was an obstacle. The sand trap. Hahahah

[@montanaplease]

Imagine how much better he could have been if he hadn’t had those huge knee pads on
