Classics: Rick Howard "Questionable"

[@jasonturpin5899]

Rick howard skating to neds atomic dustbin ,best combo ever ...it has been found 😉👍🏻🎸🎸

[@scottycamera]

😂❤. Yes it is truly amazing.. I remember watching this part ten times, downloading the track on Limewire… uploading it to my iPod shuffle and going out skating for 9-10 hours… everyday… all summer long. This was what skateboarding looked like to me 🎉

[@ariekanibalie]

In my little corner of the world, it's still 1992 - I've got the baggy pants, the slow moving, low to the ground skating, the (switch) nosesliding tricks and hardly anyone to skate with, because mine is a tracksuit 'n scooter dominated yob town. And lest anyone call me 'hipster', I'm not - I'm just old, bust still love skateboarding. My way. Big ups to Rick and all the OG skate heads.

[@Skatox]

Nice! :)

[@kthornicroft]

Damn straight! A golden era and I feel honoured to have been there! Keep it real!

[@CT-nb5lm]

Arno,,, i tried 2:38 today.. blunt to nose grind.. i don't care if it's 2020! i felt good doing this in my 2005 Osiris Loui Barletta's ;) and baggy jeans with a Beannie

[@ronniecreager2585]

Cheers brother

[@sgtcaco]

Dude, I decided to sneak into my old high school by myself to skate it at night. I hadn’t been there or skated in 32 years. I couldn’t believe the balls I had as a 12 year old. I was scared shitless when I returned but it was an epic blast from the past.

[@fatbench]

What's great about this part is that it provides the historical context that allows skaters like myself to appreciate skateboarding for what it truly is, an artistic movement. It's easy to lose sight of that today, but in this video you can see what was really going on in that era: guys on skateboards trying to create something original. Art. This was before there was big money to be made so the drive was still pure, and that's what comes shining through in this video part.

[@filmbuff4]

well said

[@ronniecreager2585]

No doubt. I love watching these old parts of these pioneers creating it as they went. Amazing

[@jmmone]

this was after the bust which will happen again

[@KarlLind]

Even looking back at this video in 2013 the line he nails from 1:17 - 1:37 is absolutely incredible! In fact, I think it may have been the biggest tech combo up and down stairs for it's era by far. Rick Howard is all about grace and precision.

[@Detailguy101]

I was a skater in the early 1990s, I remember when this video came out in 1992, plan b was so far ahead of other skate company videos.

[@randydavis8167]

Makes me feel young again. Awesome skating and song

[@conorr1234]

when skating used to be about chilling and doing your thing! favorite classic so far!

[@edwardduclos1589]

:) love seeing how they just went for it back then.. no tv commercials... no social commitments or gratification... just doing it regardless of the outcomes.. its parts like these that people will look back on and say " now thats how we got here "... thanks rick... you've helped create something that never would have happened without your hard efforts

[@skateparkslayer]

I bought the VHS plan b boxset on ebay when i was 12, Im 22 now and this still hypes me WAY more than todays vids. My friends used to make fun of this, but those whimps quit skating and i still do. Its not about perfection. Any self respecting skater should appreciate this and take notes.

[@Gameboy-Unboxings]

Still skating today?

[@misternewt]

This will forever be ingrained in my brain

[@limitless5748]

Whole vibe the skating the song Everything Works in this Part Too Perfection.

[@josephstalin7767]

This is the best kind of video. Rick Howard is obviously very talented skater but still he gives you a little bit of hope while you're watching him. " Yeah I could do that" of course that only applies to some of the tricks but it's enough it gets you skating

[@JanoyCresva]

Dude stop.

[@AVCheerst]

so good, even by today's standard. extremely talented man.

[@IRatatatI]

this came out when i was born! crazy how long Ricks been killing it

[@TFlood-bf3dw]

Unbelievable how skateboarding changed from 90 to 92

[@user1138]

It''s true. The progression from those years was insane. Like every video that came out just blew our teenage minds.

[@pablosmith5473]

Yep, a crazy fast time. Definitely a peak in the technical progression. I don't think skateboarding has evolved and progressed as fast as this since.

[@jasondashney]

Imagine if instagram existed back then.

[@L_M_C]

Ah, 1992. When wheels were small, trousers were big and flips were pressure.

[@twa2]

3:35 hardest save push I've ever seen

[@greenlion7750]

Always on the hunt for any new RIck Howard footage. Rick's got one of my favorite styles of all time. Sick part I think Questionable was the first time Hubba was in a video, only a few had skated it at this point

[@helorumtheknightsofmambrin2155]

The aspiration of all early 90's skaters.

[@SlickRick4EVER]

00:55 The famous "Rick Flip"

[@Rustoization]

and 3:21

[@rebusd]

satisfaction guaranteed :)

[@soulmachineNo1]

This Video changed everything forever.....

[@js92css]

I saw this movie when it came out. It blew my mind. We went from 1281 to a new Era of skateboarding, learn everything in switch. By this point Guy Mariano was already doing every single trick switch

[@willogorman4049]

He didn't skate switch that much until mouse

[@js92css]

@willogorman4049 all the stories from the pros say he did everything switch. Tim and Henry pack of lies only showed a small part of what he was doing years b4 mouse footage

[@gurley123]

A four minute part filmed in less than a year so yeah, there will be some not perfect footage. You know what though? We didn't care. This freaking vid blew our minds. Think about it. Boards were heavy(9.5" was a normal size), pants were phat and all these tricks were new. The camera probably weighed 15 - 20lbs so you aren't going to be rolling around with one hand out squatted way down, VX style so quit bitchin about that too.

[@therealpoka]

My favorite skatevideo of all times...geez I just realized I´ve been skating for 20 years...

[@nikokaapa]

It's weird making excuses for this part but the little kids need to learn: This is the best skateboarding had to offer in 1992. If you can't respect that, then you won't respect the best skating of today in 25 years. This leads me to the question if you guys really care about skateboarding at all. Parts and styles like these stand the test of time, because they are pure, beautiful and influential. Rethink how you think about skating if you REALLY hate on this man and this part.

[@MegaMyrow]

its wicked seeing ol school Van-City footage big ups too BC

[@hawkwind769]

Neds atomic dust bin!! Grey cell green is the track 🤙🏼🔥

[@Mateo-et3wl]

have you taken any spills today?

[@bbcasting]

Now THIS is a classic. This whole damn video is. QUESTIONABLE.

[@PhilllSkates]

that was the best thing i have seen in a long time

[@sbamdq]

Best skating video still... these skaters were revolution themselves, and this is the result of doing your own thing and keep trying and trying. My respect to them and Mike Ternasky

[@Utchbreda]

These are the real classics!

[@tucko11]

2:21 back when Temecula Ca Temeku theaters behind grocery market had FRaeSH asphalt 1992 , still there to this day you can see it from 15 fwy north

[@rebusd]

I actually went to Hubba on my pilgrimage and have mad respect for anyone who even 50/50'd the thing.

[@hawkwind769]

I left home at 17, hitch hiked with my skateboard to SF. Just to see and skate embarcadero... But the time I got there 4 months after I left, I was a different person. Unfortunately, I had gotten my skate stolen along the way so I just went there, cracked a 40 and watched some kids skate... That was 23 years ago, LMAO ✌🏼

[@jamesradskijr.9745]

Back when Big Jeans & Late KF mattered, the good ol dayz 92-93

[@raysonraypay5885]

Never get enough of van city

[@efrwar]

No one was doing "clean" tricks back then, as so many of them were just being invented. Enjoy it for what it is.

[@rebusd]

No doubt man, that was an _excellent_ comment. There is so much contextual myopia on YT regarding skating that it makes me groan sometimes. A lot of kids here don't realize that if they were around back when this was shot, they wouldn't even be skating; they would be playing little league or hackey-sack or something. Although as far as no one being clean, I think Koston and Peterka were among the first to emerge from sketchland. It's kind of a shame that H-Street disintegrated so quickly after their 1990 summer tour - although EK has obviously made ends meet like a mofo, imagine a Rocco-then-Ternasky-then-Howard supported DP (who I think at the time was the better skater, IMHO) making it to the money times instead of being forced to go to a day job. I like to contrast him to the Shecklers of the world, no disrespect to RS intended...

[@jasondashney]

I think there’s an authenticity to it that is lacking now. And that’s coming from someone who his entire filming life would do a trick over and over and over until he got it perfect.

[@aaroniamescua]

Howard is the man. Will forever be THE MAN.

[@AndrehicksRip]

That last fs shove was pretty sic 4 1992 regardless if he landed it or not. i seen howard and mike carroll at an Andre Nickatina concert in hollywood, they were plastered xD i got both of their drunk scribbles on the ticket.. good shit man Ricks sick!

[@polvijverman]

the filming is amazing

[@XxSwiggsy1995xX]

That is so sick, Old School Skateboarding, Awesome.

[@mika30000]

this are the most enoyable style back then rick was super advanced in tricks and new way to flow 360 front and switch 360 front those trick ares still good now

[@xXONELOVEBOBMARLEYXx]

for everyone who is saying Rick Howard sucks.. i wana see you go out and do a lazer flip, or a noseblunt 3 shuv out.. i bet half you guys couldnt even do these tricks, so quit hating

[@realskaterbnb23]

damnnnnn!! doin lazers back in '92

[@conor1382]

This part is sick af Rick you are the goat ... If you skate like this these days you'll get make fun of lol

[@lowek7773]

naw he hits shit in this video still the average good skater cant do

[@BROtasticful]

I wish skating was this way again!

[@jordangrant33]

I love watching old videos and only looking at the skaters' upper body.

[@tweakiepop]

Damn that cheered me up! Rick and Ned's combo

[@ChrisFlipsAlot]

I was 4 in 1992 lol. Rick Howard is OG

[@VinceMarotte]

Best Skate Video Ever!!!

[@EricfromWV]

Those videos had the best quality. The skating rocked though.

[@Aquateen47]

this is amazing

[@stevechapman07]

I remember when this came out and we were all thinking what the hell are we supposed to do now?

[@jasondashney]

Funny you mention that because a good friend of Rick's saw the video before it came out and he thought it was going to kill skating because nobody would want to try because the level was too crazy. Imagine if he could've seen something like Chris Joslin's instagram account where his throwaway footage would be old school after black hammers.

[@PopCanWaxProductions]

This is called a CLASSIC for a reason. This was a revolutionary part for its time and is not even comparable to skateboarding today. Not hating on chris though, because I'm canadian too (along with rick howard).

[@MTB302]

My 5th VHS I ever owned!

[@TheRobertnuns]

A lazer flip back in 92? wow, Rick is the man.

[@yeaitsmemikec.2018]

first one I saw was full 360 lazer flip ,pat brennan on a powell video. ( RIP ) ..probably 91 , I think

[@yeaitsmemikec.2018]

yep celebrity tropical fish was 91....... kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2OTdqWiedOkb5I

[@jizmistful]

still the days

[@johndope9217]

Hard af put some respect on Rick.

[@lucrativ]

R.I.P. the tech era.

[@PixelSkateboards]

Dude's pants and the song just scream 90s. It rules.

[@apexscape]

music selection was the best

[@nickshamas]

speaking of lines- you don't see lines like Lavar's classic line ;o the song in this video played a big part in how many times we watched this video.. GOD! - 20 years ago now, crazy..

[@kameronnaeole7680]

There's no way this song wouldn't be in a skate video in the 90s

[@alex-cooper]

so good

[@jgriff5150]

Pat Duffys part in this video is also killer! The video that changed skateboarding.

[@jgriff5150]

And Sheff and Sal, Carroll, every part is legend really

[@Le0wned]

Awesome !

[@AxleTorres]

Remember that this was tech skating in 1990. There was no Felipe Gustavo doing Nollie hardflip nose slide nollie big spin outs.

[@sfskate06]

CLASSIC!

[@MichaelMont95]

yup this is a classic!

[@marslugo]

rick is a boss!

[@dbspaceoditty]

right, young kids need to learn. when i grew up skateboarding tricks where still being invented. i mean, pros didnt do tricks cry and complain that there wasnt enough steeze and film/land the same trick time after time to make it look right. its just that he did a trick. landed it, rolled away, and on top of it did wearing comfortable cloths instead of fashionable clothing .

[@spacecaserecords1204]

This might be the first nollie backside noseblunt to fakie caught on film -- right around the 2:43 mark. Legendary part.

[@mr7clay]

Tons of great switch tricks in this that I didn’t even comprehend until rewatching a decade later.

[@stevechapman07]

there are variations on tricks in this video that everyone was using in Fully Flared.I think it's because everyone skipped the innovation part for a good while and only concentrated on going big.Howard,Carroll,Mariano,Duffy and Koston saw the future a long time ago

[@TFlood-bf3dw]

No toe drag police back then either. Dudes just shredded everything. And we didnt drive around lookin for spots' we skated around lookin for spots. I miss those days

[@5lbweights]

90s style ftw

[@gurley123]

This was all filmed long before rappers were wearing pants like that. Skaters did it first. I was there. I know.

[@rebusd]

LOL did any of your posse ever sew two pairs into one big pair? I was still rockin my levi's and h-street pajama pants lol. I did eventually get my hands on a pair of Blind jeans, but that was early 93, the ridiculousness had kinda toned down by then

[@coolnightskate]

think about how much of this stuff hadn't been done at that time. to us it just seems standard to frontside noseslide a 6 stair hubba or front shove the gonz, but it had to take some seriously unique minds to go out and do it. like danny way's tricks in this video, to boardslide that double kink had to seem impossible. like something that would be sweet, but no one would actually ever try it with the intention of landing it. but he did.

[@kennyskates]

Desire!

[@PrestigeWorldwideism]

the best.

[@brianmclendon1647]

One of the best parts ever super innovative for the time, and goddamn I miss my blind jeans so much!!!

[@mikeliterus14]

that switch 360 ollie was fucking sexy and i really want one of those old school boards

[@EamonBurnsIreland]

Nice lines

[@iLikeCrabrangoons]

I can't wait to see the day when Nyjah Hustons Rise and Shine part becomes a classic

[@ef1100]

0:57 PRESSURE FLIP....

[@JK..INFX.D....]

R. Howie . The Chocolate Benefactory. He Just thuggin it oooooooout.

[@Bensonisajew]

Non of this is sketchy. Everything is gnar

[@Chuckie2k7]

1:25. is that filmer running? hah! class.

[@AndySo2000]

Could the guy doing the intro be less informed about the Questionable video? That's one of the most defining videos in skateboard history. This broke the new era of technical street skating, and not much in skating has changed since this video came out. It was huge back in 92, this progressed the sport and none of us had seen a lot of the tricks they're doing, and many of which had just been invented.

[@simbaisabeast9633]

The guy? Cairo foster....youre the one thats less informed bud lol

[@mahilo3550]

"When your... decide-high-your..."

[@shneckelheimer]

I always heard it as the singer stretching out the word "desire". "Des-ii-ii-ore..."

[@Mr4Magic]

Thats the Real shit !!!

[@SaintJohnSkateboard]

Is it just me or does the back lip at 1:07 sound like a gun shot of some sort?

[@yone4ne1]

it my youth video part !私の青春そのものby japan

[@zskater1234]

he did fucking tricks before I even born!

[@regularasselo]

fuck everything nowadays, i want skateboarding to be like this again

[@coreygolphenee9633]

Your telling me its in the trees its not, its inside me

[@butchermachine]

I wonder if Rick still has those baggy jeans tucked away somewhere.

[@AlbertoSleepwalk]

Big big skater big video part and big song of needs atomic dustbin greets from mexico

[@trez337]

Where from Canada is he from? Never mind. Its Vancouver. Just googled it.

[@omrlpz]

Look at the size of them wheels! Like 39mm or less, they need to make them like that nowadays.

[@KarlLind]

Exactly.
