Grew up with Stacy. Spent many a day wasting away time on the beach in Dogtown. He is right, it was a rough & tumble area filled with homeless, bikers, gangs... and "never amount to anything" surf bums. For many of us our first skate boards were a piece of 2x4 with the metal wheels from our sisters old roller skates nailed to it! Total death machines! Lots of steep hills in Mar Vista. Lots of scary rides. Best of Tim's. Stacy was always down to earth and had none of the arrogance that many of the other "cool" kids seemed to have. Glad to have those memories.
I know Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly lost my login password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Nelson Lance Instablaster =)
@Merrick Gustavo thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Merrick Gustavo it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D
@Nelson Lance happy to help :D
I constantly wonder if we’ll ever see Stacey released any footage of his amazing phenomenal son Austin Peralta. What a phenomenal musician. But I know there’s so much footage of him with his father. The existence of the two definitely left a mark on the future of Skateboarding and music. I would only hope that there will be a day that Stacey feels comfortable enough to share this with the rest of us fans of his son. Indeed when I grew up Stacey changed my life and created an individual that would spend the rest of his life with a skateboard. But I was also really into music. And I had no idea his son was such a phenomenal musician. Now that I know this to be true I also know that there is footage out there. This footage needs to be shared with all of us because Stacey raised the most amazing musician to ever sat on a piano seat. Absolutely amazing.
This is one of the best interviews I have ever seen -- of any athlete in any sport. Fantastic exchange between the interviewer and Peralta.
Stacy was directly for two of the most magical periods of my life. The Bones Brigade inspired me to start skating in the mid 80s and Dogtown and Z Boys brought me back to it. Thanks Stacy. I can't imagine my life without skating. There were times when I felt like it was all I had and I wonder sometimes if I would have made it to adulthood without it.
I still have my OAK STACY PERALTA WARPTAIL. I bought from Wheeler Dealers in Liverpool UK when I was 12, Staceyis a legend and Dog town and the Z boys is a brilliant Documentary ,it brought back great memories ,thanks Stacy xxx
Nice interview. I appreciate people who ask very few questions and let the guest give long answers. The intro was fantastic too; Impressive to see so much information summarized in 60 seconds.
When I first seen a powell deck in England my god just couldn't get my head around it. Loved the 80es
This interview..shows part of the reason why Stacy achieved what Jay and to a lesser extent Alva did not. He's fuckin' smart! He's articulate, well-mannered, he presents himself well yet without the arrogance that was so negative about Tony Alva and he's never been afraid to give credit to others and he's a winner in his own right. Great interview with a true icon.
scottiemcnichols i agree! Couldnt have said it better myself!!!
Tony and Stacy are two different characters. Stacy was arrogant and money hungry too. I guess he hides it well. Alva gets all the credit for hitting the pools first, and introducing style to the sport. Alva was way more of an innovator than this kook.
Salvador Reyes Kook!!!??!!!
@@pan-jw2wf Okay, not a kook. Now that I think about it, Alva was an asshole.
Just like Tony Hawk, odd.
I don't know if Stacy will ever see this but for somebody who was a young skater, I think eight at the time, the first time I ever saw Lords of Dogtown it became one of my favorite films only because it was the first feature skateboarding film I ever saw or that I knew existed. So I hope he knows that that movie solidified in a child with only one friend who skated that there were people just like me who got looked down on or dismissed for being a skateboarder.
love Stacy he gave me my first board been skating ever since 45 and still going
eric laurion you started skating at 45 years old?
Legend, along with Tony Alva and of course Jay Adams.
El Raxo McGoutfoot you really think so? Have you seen the bones brigade documentary?
@@lordperezident what about it?
His son was a prodigy in jazz.
He passed away a few months ago, aged 22.
Rest In Peace Austin Peralta.
Adoniram1986 how did he pass away?
Drugs
I didn't know that. I'm a jazz musician, and Stacy was huge for me in the 70s.(I went straight from skating to playing in my teens). That's so sad about Austin. What a great piano player. RIP
I met him at Heathrow airport in 1977. Had only just seen him on TV the day before.
It's cool to look back on this. When I was 15 years old I got the chance to skate with Alva and Stacy and a couple of the gang in Wales. Had a blast hanging with my idols and grinding with the Pepsi tour.
Cool. You still skate? 🙂
Where in Wales and what year?
@@Agharta99 1977 small indoor park South Wales The Hollywood Bowl, skate park, Gorseinon. I’m trying to paste a pic but I guess that’s not going to work.
No skating for me getting a little old for that. Lol
@@laurenceowen2027 Thanks. I did skate there once as I was the right age. I heard rumours years later that Alva had been to Swansea but it seemed too outlandish. Great to have it confirmed. I knew the guys on the Dave Friar team including Frenchie, Worm and Con so maybe some of those were there on the day?
@@Agharta99 I have a great pic of me out of the bowl 3 or 4 feet, I was told I jumped the key while Alva was there but to be honest I had a really bad concussion from dropping 4 feet of vert from the half pipe. Brutal place but loved it.
Great small interview , you can tell Strombo was a true fan 👍
Now that IS a skateboard at 0:12 - love the mid-80's Powell-Peralta decks.
He is an awesome documentarian, I love his filmmaking
I wasn't there, but this sounds like an honest down to earth interview. Thanks, Stacy. I discovered Dogtown and the Z-Boys while making a recent vid for "Rat Snag Skate" (on YT). My perspective on your sport probably looks pretty nerdy, but it was an amazing trail of discovery leading from the sidewalks of Venice to the 2021 Olympics. Skateboarding has no bigger fan.
Legend, great ambassador of skateboarding, genius, and down to earth guy.
Love SP. thanks for posting this!
RIP Austin Peralta
sport minded man. nice one. keep safe. my hug for you
I had the Powell Peralta skull and sword deck
very good doc.
I saw this interview live and it was the highpoint of the taping. A great interview with a fabulous interviewee!
Love it , Proud, Hero , Role Model
It seriously amazes me what they were able to do on the wheels and decks they were able to do. Venice is still a semi-ghetto but somehow with mutli million dollar houses and tent towns in front of them.
He's the first person seen in.the.classic movie Real Genius
Stacy is incredible...kind of genius
Legend
What was the old clip from? It sounded like they said "Cosmic Jungle (1970)" but I can't find it on IMDB anywhere...
Stephen cosmic children
excellent interview. only 10 minutes, but well spent.
Whatever, I cried at the end of Lords of Dogtown.
dogtown was awesome, bb was awesome. stacy is awesome
Stacy "In the 70s it wasn't like that, Venice was a semi-ghetto, rough and tumble place"
Having grown up and lived there back then, I can attest to that. Back in junior high I was surrounded by guys in V13, Culver City's gang, etc.
(In the 80s - I remember Whitey, the Muir Brothers, Hugh Pritchard and his brother)
Genious
So powerful so beautiful
quiero que lo traduscan al español xfi
Anybody know who sid is in real life from lords of dog town?
wrestlemaniac202. Alva: “[The Sid character, Jay Adams’ rich best friend] was based off a real character, of a kid named Dino that lived on the north side who was already ill and we met him and he was the owner of the pool that we skated in.” Read the full article here. www.hollywood.com/general/lords-of-dogtown-interviews-tony-alva-skip-engblom-and-stacy-peralta-57167880/
he is funny . i wouldn't do it agin 09:35
i wouldn't do it agin. he says it more then once and has a genuine smile . tommy
gurrerro's fingerflip was tight at 00:44
we are going to need a light beems the world is getting dark
I watched 8 seconds of this video, heard him say "what the Beastie Boys were to hip hop", then dipped.
Peralta did more for skateboading than most anyone. But the untold story would be why dogtown fell. It's mostly a myth, Dogtown. Almost everybody was better back then but the hype went to Dogtown.
And Skaters Cross in Reseda..where I used to skate in 78 I been to a few pools in Encino and was offered to take a go and I'd back off maybe I was either to stoned or was to chicken?
ZE man! : )
cool - but what's with name dropping the Beastie Boys as hip hop pioneers at the start? they were followers not innovators
I agree its a messed up comparison but ... the beasties are legendary and did innovate ...
The Beastie Boys were anything but followers.
+Julian Taylor i caught that too & i was like 'wtf' lol
Just as skateboarding was around in the 50's and 60's but didn't become widely popular until these guys in the late 70's brought it to the masses, beatsie beatsie boys are largely responsible for bringing the hip hop sound to Main Street USA and to the rest of the world and making it accessible outside of its birthplace in the inner city
Clariccy Jones uh no
is that david spade
yes
What are you smoking on
Alternative sports, we don’t hate much but we collectively hate skateboarding being called an ‘extreme’ sport, skateboarding is a lifestyle not a sport, please refrain from doing it. Thanks
There is only a short amount of time so dont look back and say damn I missed it..
I did not miss it.. We were DogTown freaks in Texas and we drained pools and tresspassed and broke the law alot also
because of reading and seeing them in skateboarder.. I had the first and only white Z flex in Texas and it was stolen in a hurry..
what kinda rat snakes someones white Jay Adams Z flex ? Stole it out of my car I think it was Marty Cruz he was notorious.
I had a red Jay Adams Z-Flex, rode it until there was nothing left of it... Good times!
Wow, so skate videos were invented right along modern skating
The all time great is rodney Mullen wven hawk would tell u
+ RESPONSABILE STACEY
it was a 900
That couldve been a half hour at least
"He's not one of us,he's not a pirate"
There were lot better skaters back then because they didn't surf. Surf style is awesome but hinders progression. The more upright approach won out in the end. How ironic.
LANFRY
Doesn't talk about jay a lot
Yea dude. Without him we wouldnt of had thps
yeah im sure strombo really knows how tony hawk was hated on or anything. why do guys like this try to interject on shit they dont know anything about.
100th like, what of it
in skateboarding years, ageless........
Gordi
Back then you had to have lots of money to even have a surf board, let alone surf anywhere. When boards came out most kids couldent afford a board until the blanks came out then the popcycle decks.
Also to be able to afford a video camera.. You put any person in that place and they would progress, especially with all the back up from rich family almost all the pros have parents involved in oil,wood,metal.
Freemason nephilim hybrid genetic manilipulated peoples enhanced with all the legal drugs that flowed tru the 60's till the late 80's. That are illegal now..
Lol take your meds
Beastie boys? Lmaoo
All of LA was a Semi Ghetto in the 70s besides Beverly Hills
cus little girls these days do not no about skateboarding and good talent ? thats my answer to that aha... z boyz rule !!!!
Letter wrote by hand in 89 to Germany to an fankid .. thx Stacy. Alva would never do that
rudi t rides a bike
I heard from a reputable source it was a hot pink scooter!
72 Squareback,nice. One of the benefits of having a job.
@5:30 ol' bullshit peralta at it again.."oh it was a huge deal(to look beautiful), mannn..."...no, no it wasn't. It looked fluid because it was 'sidewalk surfing' and practicing surf-style moves is what they were doing...geezus...
"Do I look beautiful dude?", said no 12 year old skater ever.
Phoenix Chastaine he lived it you didn't bitch they where in a different time coming out of the cali surf scene. Skateboarding also doesn't have rules of what you can and can't do there was no kickflips or grabs than. Having your own style meant everything just like in todays times. 'you ain't no pirate'
so and why again does justin bieber have more views ?!
tonys eye wrinkles lol. had em since birth
He still into yoga? thats one weird dude
I enjoyed the movie, but there were many fictional areas in it.
Why do people still call Tony Hawk the "all time great" ?
it´s just a lie.
+Rudi Tautscher explain how he's not.
it goes a big difference from "the great" to "most popular"
+Rudi Tautscher Yes , he is . do yu know him?. Trust me he is the micheal jordan of skateboarding, a peferctionist.
Rodney Mullen is the greatest
I think you mean the Gonz. I presume you're a tech skater then.
This guys a fraud. Hes claiming Dogtown when he was never around. Try to find one Dogbowl photo of Stacy, good luck...
Shut the fuck up loser he IS Dogtown wtf are you on about? Put down the crackpipe beach bum
Could have been SHOULD have been at least an hour- no way you can cover ALL the things Stacey did and HIS personal impact on skateboarding- should have just kept it more chill and professional
I wonder if this movie is going to help spark the next rise in skateboarding
