I'm not exaggerating when I say this video and this part changed my life. Thank you

[@caswell4115]

+SEANxOCONNOR i'm not exaggerating you fucking stole what i was gonna say, i'm not only not even pissed i'm stoked

[@Gretev1]

I was 10 years old when I bought this video in Florida. I had just started skateboarding. This video changed my life too

[@kadieraelyn666]

seriously.. very impactful

[@bradleymitchell3808]

I know. It made me turn gay, too

the golden era of skateboarding

[@makingupthemakebelieve]

Watch this, go out and skate. Repeated every day for a skater in the 90s :) Truly blessed.

[@ianross9738]

OOOOOF.... that switch BS at 4:00 is the best ever done. INCREDIBLE.

[@Deliciousjuicysandwich]

Best part best music best style

[@90sskateboarder27]

This video gives you RAW skateboarding at its highest level (fast clean tricks) one right after another, not to mention baggy jeans and hip-hop something that can never be duplicated. This era of skateboarding was before nike SB and US Olympic skate team and of course minimal pay checks unlike today's skaters with multiple sponsorships. Too many dope skaters to mention from the 90's!!!

As a conservative skater, i hate the media blowout showered on the scene... the scene will never be the same

i love that sound of the trucks scraping along the ledges the krrrrr sound

[@walliegrab9746]

OG, one of the dudes that really got me hyped on skateboarding.. one of the sickest styles to this day

[@johnnyla1980]

I remember watching this before id go skate everyday, it never got old. Such a unique time in skateboarding that will always and forever be in the history books. Skateboarding had style back then and when you watched it it made you wanna go skate. I don't get that from videos nowadays

[@Dabwaxington]

He's right it's an ultimate sport, you can't cheat you don't have a team it's all you. Truly a sport that's really fun it takes dexterity, skills and above all passion.

[@joshuahutchinson9982]

Seeing this part again after some years makes me proud that I bought a pair of his rereleased shoes to skate. This is style and skill. Hands down.

[@olivierbegassat851]

Used to watch this before I would go skate ... such a good part.

[@rutlandcitybikes9729]

Man... The early days of Philadelphia! So different from what it is today.

[@nate2skate265]

I love when Kevin Taylor gets in there with style and speed!

[@MrNickrandi]

so true, the filmer could barely keep up with his speed

[@fcojavi2705]

I was inspired to learn back 180 and half-cab flip tricks cause of Stevie. This part was something else!!

Stevie Williams, Josh Kalis, Fucking legends

[@thefirst1354]

I kinda like switch mongo pushing.

[@filthysquad1958]

Stevie is the only one allowed to do it. Everyone else is gayer than BA.

[@drewtatasciore7086]

@@calstonjewhow have you you never heard of Josh Kalis or Eric Koston ?? 💀

[@calstonjew]

@@drewtatasciore7086 Kalis and Stevie we're doing it deliberately to spite Ricky's rule about not pushing switch mongo at LOVE. Frost has been a dick for the last 20 years.

[@chrispatton6303]

Yea it was allowed in the 90s and early 2000s but I would always in the back of my head be like why do we allow it? But I also kinda liked it cause you knew someone was going switch or fakie

[@jonneye]

The illest. Always felt TWS should do this. Looking forward to more. Thank you.

[@Gretev1]

JonneyETV what do you feel Transworld should do? This was published in 1999.

GOAT part

[@jacobdeal1057]

3:05 hauling ass for that switch crook. I love that part

[@GageTcoTEAM2TURNT]

Bro comes up with the most impossible combos and makes them look so effortlessly beautiful... shits wild. Wish you could bottle and sell that STEEZ bro bc its one of a kind!!!

[@hagebunshin]

Part, music, everything on point.

[@jaheedi]

Dudes just amazing…I just watch the tre flip to manual and how basic he makes it seem…I suck so I think it hits so much harder…like seeing a local tear up your park and you just get stuck watching…that’s so motivating…great video

[@darkillius1]

Man i remember the promo on the extreme sports show on ESPN in the 90s man i instantly bought the VHS and did my homework. Damn i miss that era

+Montana Tapia-Reyes I call myself an emcee. I prefer that over rapper because the term rapper has been killed by bitches like two chains etc. fuck that newschool shit

Rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal
Emcees spit rhymes to uplift their people."

[@patrickoriley6791]

It’s funny watching this at 31 years of age and wishing I could go back. I hated cops when I was a kid, now; ironically I am a police officer. And I love seeing kids skate, when people bitch I’ll just hang with the kids for a minute and talk to them. The last time I attempted a tre flip and went down hard, oh well 🤣
