Zoo York Mixtape - FULL - The Original

[@mathice]

illest time in history, the 90's . The golden era of hiphop and skateboarding..

[@MukesBoy]

Man you hit it right on the 💰. I started in 89, when i was 12. I had a Monty Nolder, Team Hasoi with a set of trackers and some half coned out Zomba wheels. I loved thise fucking zombie drawings by pushead in those wheels. I had a 2nd or 3rd gen sony walkman and i listened to only 3 tapes for my first year whenever i skated: an Ice T mixtape of rhyme pays and the iceberg, Suicidal tendencies mixtape with songs of the first 3 albums and Metallica ride the lighting. Later on it became almost exclusively Brotha Lynch Hungg. I sent a sponsor me tape to Zoo york when i was 19

[@ThatMF_Doom]

@@MukesBoy my go to skate music was Tommy Wright III, '00-'02 50 Cent, Cam'ron, Ray Charles, and 70s-80s Dub Reggae

[@strongislandzfinest23]

RIP to the golden age as well as NYC , Harold Hunter ,Justin Pierce and the Brooklyn banks. All gone but not forgotten!!! It was an amazing time to be young and was so fortunate to have lived it... RIP to the real NYC ...

[@melodichypnoticproduction]

i watch this for the same reason. makes me remember i didn’t imagine it all.

[@ilyamuromets7020]

I feel that vibe

[@bklyncrook]

[@captcyco]

Don’t forget about pioneer Kase2, they sampled him in there. King of styyyyyllle. RIP

[@cathartic7873]

First skate video I ever seen, my father wore so much zoo york shit, that i searched it up and found this. it was like in 2012. I just used to play this and ride on my bike because i liked the music and the sounds of the skating. A year later I got my first skateboard and my life changed for the better.

[@matthewkrueger304]

Hope you're still skating man

[@sour_dsl804]

Fuck yeah...keep rolling homie!🙌🙌🛹🔥🔥

[@mrconcept]

Had this on VHS. Reflects the 90s boombap culture better than anything else i've seen. It's like time travelling back to that era of amazing Hip Hop. .

[@dannycorona8524]

Damn...hate it when the big corporate & profit driven companies buy out these skateboarding entities that made street skating fun and unique like Zoo York! Most of West Coast's companies have gone the same way. All commercial, and profit making machines without originality. R.I.P. Zoo York!

[@eletor]

Brands come and go but skating lives on. Hyped to see Eli and the boys make some money and live good after the brand was sold.

[@DeadHandX]

Word up

[@wannabeskateboards]

If y’all haven’t seen “All The Streets Are Silent”… you really need to. So much insight and history. Thank you Eli!

[@nathan7752]

Finally saw it last night, amazing document to a part of history! So much sick footage!!

[@phdrxakadennyblack4098]

I lived in the East Village from 93 to 96 & worked in Manhattan all in the 90s. No I don't skate, but Yes, it was the best time & place

[@ChristianRaymondFilms]

Truly love this era in NYC skateboarding.

[@MAARTN]

I can't describe how perfect this is. I wish skating was like this again!

[@mattphillips4020]

i still have my VHS copy

[@DaBOMBOCLAAT]

This Needs To Be On DVD!!! Brings Back Memories...

[@DaBOMBOCLAAT]

@@D-Konstruc Indeed. I’ve Still Got My Original VHS Of Zoo York Mixtape. 📼🛹✌️🥳

[@SkittlesTheDog2]

If you get a Elgato capture device or a cheap usb 2.0 recording device for around $25 you could record straight from your VCR to your computer using the OBS Studio app. The apps free and I know a lot of people who use it to restore home movies and save them digitally. I use a VHS-C camcorder and it can connect right into the capture device via RCA cables and I don’t even need a VCR. If you know your way around editing, you can even upscale videos from 480p to 720p 60 FPS so you could definitely burn it onto discs.

[@DancinMachine28]

"I've never landed that trick in my life !"

[@stevennorthcut9860]

This video made me focus on doing basic tricks real fresh...big inspiration..RIP Harold Hunter

[@TheDuesy]

This really is timeless, 1997 and beyond. Rock In Paradise!!! Justin and Harold!!!

[@chrisweeds1]

Amazing video , never gets old . RIP Hunter .

Dude this freestyle left such an impression on me. Being a 90's kid and Hip Hop at it's eclipsing effect over my life. This mixtape was just the shit!

[@jw4941]

So talented.

[@KebinRadicaliff]

The soundtrack, except for vinnies song, was uploaded on Vimeo without skate sounds. The sound quality is poor, but it’s there.

[@djyuichi]

このビデオテープ持ってました！ ほんと懐かしい。。今見てもカッコいいわ！

[@smiauu]

crazy how dope skateboarding and hip hop used 2 b. really fuckin miss those days

[@Dunskaroo]

This video was released during the best years of my life. There is nothing else like hitting the streets with your mates and going ape shit crazy.

[@deechi5597]

Reminisce...... NYC in the 90's smoking blunts on he streets rap was at its finest when style meant not dressing like eveyone else ... Sk8ing was for the creative.. from polo bear sweaters , Girbauds jeans to ravers with wide ass jeans the 90's in ny is all just a dream.. like partying at the junkyard and the living room. When cops came security would worn kats to hide there weed.. If was skating in the 90's you would definitely know what ny truly means.....

[@anthonygonsalves7020]

100% bro. That I can never forget. It as a much different animal back then. A lot more tight-knit between skaters because not everyone and their mothers were skating at that time.

[@christiancibulka1886]

Polo bear sweaters are expensive af

[@laurieso678]

Dee Chi yup u nailed it. I miss them days. Remember Chillin at astor place cube !??!? Nothing like nyc 1992-1998

[@jza84]

One of my favourite ever vids, absolute classic, quality soundtrack. I remember first seeing the advert for it featured in Big Brother's video magazine 'Number Two'. We were all fans of the movie KIDS so it also had that Justin Pierce / Harold Hunter connection (RIP). Legends. I also loved the way the street volume went down a bit while skaters were rolling between tricks, so you to hear the music more, a classic Zoo York trademark for me as no other video did it. BOURNEMOUTH represent !

[@RobBob57]

Just got back from skating btown square. Cruising through town centre reminded me of this video so here I am. Funny coincidence seeing this comment 😂

[@jza84]

@@RobBob57 That's quality... We used to watch Mixtape then cruise/skate the Boscombe/Bournemouth streets at night thinking we were part of the team! Such good memories

One of the first videos I seen. Stylish and the music top notch/original freestyles smooth ass skating for the early 90s

[@Aphrosyche]

Thanks for uploading this! This is a rare find

[@ClutchDumars]

96-99 was so insane in Skateboarding. I was so inspired by these vids, especially this one, Zoo York was so nuts. Hunter was so ill, had such style.

[@anthonygonsalves7020]

Dope AF...I literally only now saw this video. RIP Harold, NYC STAND UP

[@sneakthieve]

This vid (and eastern exposure) was everything my friends and I wanted to be.

Man, loved this Zoo vid back in the day. Busta kills it from 5:30-7:00. Thanks to whoever uploaded this. YT is great for finding old videos.

[@noremak79]

I miss this NYC. Puts a smile on my face.

[@Crates94]

crazy how dope vhs footage looks in this day in age. I used to hate this type of quality when it was all we had.

[@TheRickyp83]

I don't understand why anyone would want to go back to this quality. The latest digital quality is 10xs better in every way. We would've killed to have today's quality and technology in the 90s. Now people are trying to go backwards. WHY? Why would you want to intentionally create something of shittier quality. I want to be able to see what I'm watching with crystal clear quality. Wtf is wrong with people.

[@scottieb1]

@soberpunk Yeah besides the cameras, they couldn't edit on computers either. So it was all linear, tape to tape. If you made a mistake or wanted to change something, you'd have to redub the whole edit from the point of the change on. Needless to say, it made for less cutting and a more raw editing style. I still enjoy this style and use it in my work to this day, although I admit I do like the amazing images from cameras today.

[@DavidBrodellLakeCreates]

Ah man, this takes me back. Thank you for posting this.

[@printisdead1983]

I've been skating since 94 this was the first video I owned other than the invisible video....I miss invisible and silver star...a team kastel shoes those DC rick Howard's every one is rockin in this video were hella good. And the DC Rudy Johnson's ...and the hook ups targets and the koston 2s

[@printisdead1983]

This is back when ppl hated skaters. And you didn't have to do all the flip tricks known to man into and out of one hubba to have a video banger hammer dropping and trick
