For real! I started skating in 2000 and owned loads of great skate videos, from the original Plan B vids to Welcome to Hell, Jump Off a Building, One Step Beyond, Manual Labor, many, many others, but I probably watched Thrashin' to get stoked to skate the most, mainly just for that downhill race section at the end; there wasn't anything like that in my entire library aside from Chris Senn's part in Jump Off a Building, and bombing hills was my favorite. I never had any Anti-Hero videos, unfortunately.

I absolutely loved that chase scene with Circle Jerks' Wild in the Street. I lived on a sick hill and would bomb it right after watching that scene, many, many times. The downhill race at the end was also legitimately gnarly, and it definitely influenced my love of hill bombing, my favorite thing in skateboarding, really. As cheesy as Thrashin' was, the skating was super gnarly, and as a skater in the early 00's who was obsessed with 80's skating, Thrashin' was pure gold because it was the only 80's skate footage I had access to pre-yt.

What’s terrible is trying to ride a skateboard in rural West Virginia where there was zero flat land, zero sidewalks and the crappiest weather damaged paved roads you’ve ever seen. Being a skater in WV in the mid to late 80’s took a lot of commitment. Almost as difficult as trying to get the local record store to order you tapes from The Dead Kennedys and Black Flag; they looked at me like I was crazy, but dude came through for me.

I'm a kid of the '80s. I grew up loving thrashing when I heard Josh brolin didn't like it. It was a little heartbreaking, but I understand that sometimes when you do projects you might not be as proud of them, but I'm glad he's embraced the good things about it and what it's done for people and I am one of those people. I got diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 2 years ago. Thrashing was a movie I grew up watching and the song staring down the demons and his training montage with the broken arm. Help me through my chemotherapy and stem cell transplant. I had to do and I use it to inspire and move me just about every day. Thank you Joshua brolin thank you Pamela gidley I appreciate you guys so much and thank you. Tony hawk and the bone brigade really appreciate you guys as well

[@aki23bass]

My story related to Trashin': I was about 8 years old when I first saw the movie along with a couple of kids in the neighbourhood. I was living in a part of Europe, everything flat as a tiled floor. No hills around. Still we got skateboards from our parents and played racing on a downhill event on flat with the kids from the neighborhood. Then I promised myself I am gonna become a downhill skateboarder. Past 30 years I moved to a place with hills around and this childhood memory suddenly kicks in out of nowhere. I am like, ok, now is the time. I traced down the local downhill longboard community, bought the gear and after 5 years of practicing, learning I became a downhill longboarder. Living the best life right now.

[@NateB1976]

Yeah I know what you mean. I was thinking about this movie a week ago and got it on DVD off eBay to revisit it from my childhood. Great memories!!! I always wondered how much of the skating Josh actually did. I mean there’s parts where you can clearly see it’s him skating and times it’s a double but I always felt they did a good job and it wasn’t too obvious. I always wondered if he did any of the bowl skating scenes or if that was all his double doing it?

I fucking love GLEAMING THE CUBE

[@hankscorpio8928]

No hate for this flick! Saw it in the 80’s and Gleaming the Cube and they were so important to me as an outcast skater kid in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania. Made me realize I was part of something.

Wild in the Streets!!!!

Thrashin' is a generational landmark. It's wild.

[@MattTee1975]

We knew Thrashin' wasn't a great movie when it came out, and we definitely thought some of it was cheesy, but we still loved it.

Props to Hawk and Brolin for talking about their not-so-pro early days; I'm pretty sure people don't start off being really good at what they do. Fortunately, not a whole lot of us have video history of our early performances.

That movie and the Toronto street/parking garage scene from Police Academy 4 got so many kids into skating.

My wife just scored me a copy of Thrashin' and I'm so excited. It was cool to see a skating subculture on screen. We didn't have the Internet so this was the closest thing. It's pure nostalgia now. I'm too old and banged up to skate but this movie makes me want to get a board and try again. Great episode guys!

Any time skating came on the tv screen back in the 80’s was sick…i.e. INXS “Devil Inside”

This movie also featured Mark "Gator" Rogowski, currently serving time in prison for murder. Tony is only credited as a Pool Skater.
