Tony Hawk and Ray Underhill at Mt. Trashmore

I'll have to say that it's pretty cool when your parents drive you, hours away, to a skatepark. However, when Tony Hawk randomly shows up and shreds...I was quite a happy kid! My father shot the footage. Tony Hawk, Ray Underhill, and a few locals were sessioning. This must have been about 1989. There was a photographer and another videographer shooting them(same person possibly). A few of Tony's tricks later appeared in the "tour" section of the Powell video "Ban This". Check it at 45:50 here- • Video I did some light editing on it. I left in many of the bails. I think it's cool to make it feel like a real session.

Killer footage! This was the coolest part about Trashmore...on any given day, you could show up there and catch any number of pros. We lived a couple hours away, so any time we came to the coast I always pestered my dad into taking me there. Seen Tony there, Christian, a few others. One of the coolest was Fred Smith. That dude shredded and was very cool with fans. Thanks for posting this...brings back a lot of great memories!

My dad knocked got KO'd on a backside disaster during that session from what Tony has told me haha. Awesome footage!

[@clytor]

Oh damn. That must have been after we left. Glad you dig the footy!

[@JoeKyser]

Keaton Underhill Rays your dad? Fond memories of watching when I was a kid

[@jamiebrian8259]

I had your dad's deck back in 89 with the crucifix and chain! He was a hero of mine! Rip ray x

[@j0hnnykn0xv1lle]

my nigga

[@singleproppilot]

And that’s why they call that trick a “Disaster”.

[@brucewilliams1776]

The control Tony has is amazing! Cool video!

[@Sreybk]

@ Keaton - I was around briefly at Eastern Skate Supply when your dad came to work for us. I only met/spoke to him a few times before I quit, but he was a really nice guy. That celebration of his life here in Raleigh showed just how much he was loved.

[@neuvocastezero1838]

Tony's 360 FS stalefish, wow.

[@sanjose5278]

YES! Hawk and Underhill at the top of the vert game just before vert slowed down. I'm all in on your time machine this morning, big up to a Rad Dad!

[@eastsidedirtykid]

this is great, organic footage. it's like being there in real life! thanks for leaving the bails in, it makes them seem more human rather than some perfect, 1000% landing everything machines haha.

[@nobodysreview6137]

Hawk had developed rad style at this piont. Smooth with steeze control.

[@suburbia8831]

Rip underhill

[@johndoughnut9350]

Your dad was definitely RAD! R.I.P. Ray Underhill (BDE) !!!!

[@PajamaPantsStudios]

This is amazing footage

[@MrThebald1]

Thanks for sharing this, I never comment on videos but this is one I’m truly appreciative of. I’ve been randomly watching it for a few years.

[@TwiztidPOPS1]

Dude......I was there the day before they shot video. My boy Jon and I were there from Gloucester and they rolled up. Super cool! Always remember the yellow curb at 17th Street 7-11.

[@PMSTACKER3000]

yes... I remember that day, and there I am in the background... ha. thanks for uploading.

[@timothyhyena3106]

That recovery at 0:55 was nice. "ART!!!!"

[@juanas6193]

super cool bro! thank you so much for share with us this video!

[@craigzorman]

Your dad was awesome keaton.

[@mikaellofgren7]

So rad!

[@sk8board_blues248]

awesome watching a master work!

[@stevenbaker436]

Yes!

[@shayne.7770]

I live right outside VB. Love this place. The ramp is much much bigger now and doesnt have the roll in

[@Steril707]

R.I.P. ripping Ray

[@55bolts]

Nice footage. Your right. This is 89. Tony is riding the new Hawk graphic (That sucked). To bad Underhill didn't do more. Like Kevin Staab he was doing a lot of cool fakie to ollie stuff and various other lip tricks at this time.

[@bassage13]

Nice! I lived in Norfolk in the late 90's/early 2000's, but that Trashmore ramp was gone.

[@gfdia35]

bassage13 yep good old Virginia keeping everyone safe and un-fun since fucking forever

[@tradewinds2319]

I skated at Bayville(the other blue ramp) and north side park in norfolk from 87 to 94.

[@kristopherkrueger4617]

I think the 3rd guy is Tom Groholski. At least he skates very similarly.

[@Flamester7TV]

wow he was in my city

[@Rufusdos]

Birdman fucking killing it as always.

[@gfdia35]

How old is the footage, it's in standard Def, ,, (hahaha which now is not the standard )

[@asbjones]

VodkaSour says 1989, no such thing as high def back then, everything was filmed on VHS! Which is roughly 330 x 480

[@Sreybk]

Is the other guy John Fudala

[@landenhoover4658]

Yes, one of the other guys is John, i work for him at a skate camp and he always shows this video and shows us which one he is.

[@wantmeX]

i think tony hawk is god

[@snakehips3131]

Was Joe there?

[@JoeKyser]

snakehips3131 I wasn't

[@ryandees5158]

[@ethangregg702]

Bird house

[@thosethatcan]

This shi ... # @ Marc gonz yt!

[@Misserbi]

Entertainer. Performers are supposed to know their audience. I think independent athletics and competition forces one to excel but when they enjoy themselves they kinda start cheating? How did he get that high? Like every first comer to the sport...

[@swamp_rat_fla1126]

Ray Underhill not pulling shit. Kook!!
