My friends and I watched this on VHS during skateboarding sleepover parties 4,000 times and got stoked as hell to skate all day the next day! Can’t thank y’all enough from Georgia!
We all went to the “Ramp and rage down South” vert contest at Stone Mountain Park in Georgia way the Hell back in the day and watched all the greats. Unforgettable
@@nathanwiding8180 that’s why he’s the father of modern skating not just street skating. Without Rodney and his style inspiring millions, Gonz wouldn’t have sent kick flips down stair sets and pushed to grind rails.
@Unknown_Individual i would only argue with point of handrails as Rodney hadn’t even realized a street part and was still on the freestyle circuit while Natas and Gonz already where boardsliding handrails which was mainly inspired by replicating vertical not freestyle.
Lance’s aimless skating captures the vibe of what is was like goofing around skating down the streets of pacific/mission beaches … so killer … I had the great fortune to meet Tony outside of Hamel’s surf shop , that was a moment I’ll never forget … I love that we have these killer nostalgic videos in the palm of our hands now , they were nearly impossible to find 🛹👏🏻🛹👏🏻
Ya its weird back in the day lots of time you had favorite skaters but only knew them from magazines you never actually got to see them skate unless you were lucky enough to see this video. I remember the first time I saw pro skaters skate was cus my skate shop was playing a video on a 14" tv. So u would try like heck to remember the tricks they were doing. Skaters who were in SoCal in the 80s don't know how lucky they were
@@misguidedangel6550 Totally 👏🏻👏🏻🛹🛹🛹 we were fortunate enough to grow up with that scene all around us 💪🏻🛹 having a friend who had an older brother helped us stay informed
Ugly as hell looking w those shorts and those elbows sticking out but yes, he was the airman. The birdman Hosoi was beautiful, Hawk was gangly and all his limbs were the same size around. Lol
David Lee Ashkenazi unfortunate how much hate he received. Especially right around this time frame. I was definitely a Mountain/Guerrero kid but poor Tony. Guess he showed all the haters ;)
That's me, Dave Bedore, skating with the guys in the CH. 2 pool Session, @ 3:17. I'm the only guy not wearing any safety equipment / pads and I'm wearing the red shirt and long blue levi pants. I was invited to the session by Stacey Peralta. Word was that he was considering putting me on the Powell Peralta team. Myself, Tony Magnusson, Dave Duncan and Adrian Demain were riding for Uncle Wiggley Skateboards around that time and Stacey was going to "pluck" one of us to skate for Powell Peralta / The Bones Brigade. My understanding was that Uncle Wiggley was becoming a bit too strong of a team and he was going to "take us down a notch" by enticing one of us to skate for him, which is a legitimate corporate / competitive strategy. Stacey eventually chose Adrian over the rest of us on Wiggley and the rest is history. I still have the board that I'm riding in the video. It's a custom Uncle Wiggley deck I made myself and it has no graphics. I was a bit disappointed that I didn't get chosen, but I was and still am happy for Adrian that he made the grade. Adrian is a really nice guy and a great skater.... But, to be honest, I don't know if I would have accepted the offer even if Stacey had chosen me because Uncle Wiggley himself and his team manager and graphic designer were so good to me as an employer, sponsor and personal friends, that I was extremely loyal and appreciative to them. I can't say enough good things about those guys. That's not to say I wouldn't have been "tempted" persay, but that's a given considering that riding for Powell Peralta at that time was pretty much "The Dream Team."
The long documentary explains that Lance all though the oldest and least talented on the team. Lived closely to Stacy Peralta and was more available for video shoots. It was a super cool documentary. SteveCab, Mullen, and Tony talk about the pressures of out doing each other and poor Lance just feels grateful but a bit outcasted on the team.
12 years old again, with those skateboard blues. Renting this out on Friday from my local video shop! I am now 48, watching this with 3 broken ribs after falling off my longboard. That's the real skateboard blues, not being about to ride at present! Skate or die!!
Haha, ribs are the worst. Hurt mine pretty badly last week along with both wrists and a knee. Surprisingly nothing's broken. First thought after crawling along on the concrete in immense pain: "gotta get back on that board"
@@kohinoir7202 Get well soon dude. The older you get, the worse it seems to hurts. All of my rip are bent up. I have broken everyone over the years. Tney mend back funny! I am just sticking to the carver trucks on a flat pintail deck. No more downhill for me. Defo no throwing myself down shit. It's safer this way. Loads of my bones are misshapen due to falls over the years. Skate or die. Once a skater, it never leaves!
Lance! Your (improvised) street footage woven throughout this video encouraged the coins generations that you can have fun without ramps, ditches, pools or parks. Thank you!

Everything about skateboarding was better back then. Great times. I skated until I was 53. Still love it, just can't do it anymore. But I am glad that it was a big part of my life experience.
I got my first Skateboard, when I was 8 (1981). From then on I skatet like 10 years. It was probably the best time in my life. Feels good to see my former idols again. I am still buying and wearing Powell&Peralta T's aso. Thank you for a good time from Germany
I'm from europe. We had wild times watching all the brigade stuff back in that days, everybody had it playing 24/7. In '87 we met Lance, Cab and lots of others at the Monster Masterships in Münster. It was a 3 day happening and I hardly remember the "aftershow partys"...tons of free booze, skate/punkrock bands playin all night. Middays about 1500 skaters in the inner city, MacDonalds got destroyed completely! Even the Autobahn was closed cause of all the people on wheels. Our definition of "Skate and destroy"-lifestyle. No cops at all. One of my favourite memories. Surely the craziest shit of my life... Thx 4 the precious, priceless flashbacks!!!
Thanks Stacey! Your videos were a huge reason why kids like me started skating in Michigan back in the 80s. Ironically, it was the BB Documentary that got me back on on a board 6 years ago at the age of 38. I'm still skating, still learning, with no intentions of stopping anytime soon.
27:27: “The Amazing Mr. Mullen”: 16 years old with a father who actively opposed everything he did, and completely self-taught (apart from seeing pictures of tricks in skateboard mags-infamous in those days for occasionally publishing staged photos-assuming everything he saw in those mags was for real and then figuring out how to reverse-engineer them from the grainy, black-and-white photos and execute them consistently, in a three-car garage on his family farm in a remote part of Florida where “my best friends were hooved”…)
I think a lot of our problems today started with this decade. The '80s were so incredible in every conceivable way that today and the last 3 decades have collapsed culturally in its shadow. Nothing could compete with the music, the styles, the films, the personalities... What a fine goddamn decade.
This made it to Australia in December 1985 along with the first Powell Peralta boards. I worked at a surf shop in Perth city. Got myself a skull and sword and this video. Iconic.
Always loved the Bones Brigade videos. I got to see them live at a demo in Annapolis MD back in 1987. I wish I still had the tour t-shirt. That was my favorite shirt for years to come. The years have proven that the Volvo 245 is still a fine set of wheels.
Was so awesome to see videos like these back in the day....rented from skate shops in the city 20 miles away then having to return them the next day...ironically everything was more fun then...maybe because it was more effort to get these videos like you valued it more...but I'm grateful they're on youtube now, so thanks Stacy!..
I was born in 84. I’m getting into skating again now, I used to skate a little when I was a teenager but I recently remembered how much I loved it so I am picking it back up. These Bones Brigade videos make me want to skate, I want to skate old school and have fun like those guys. When I watch contemporary skate videos they are intimidating and the culture now is intimidating but when I see these videos it fires me up to have fun.
Respect to you brother 👊. That love & passion is the very thing that created skateboarding . NEVER LET THAT GO . Without people like you our culture wouldn't even exist . SK8 TIL DEATH BROTHER ✊🛹 ..
Skate&destroy by the faction is great in skate session... It was one of the first videos I saw in 1994 when I started skating. I had it on VHS tape.... Now in 2023 I'm still skating... I have never stopped skating from 1994 until now As always my favorite part of this and all skateboarding videos is where the best skateboarder of all times comes out: RODNEY "THE MUTT" MULLEN..... FOREVER AND EVER!
I would have been around 10 years old when this came out, and got into skating not long after that. I CANNOT believe that I've never gotten around to watching this until today! One of the best things I've ever seen, one of the good reasons that the Internet was invented. Can't believe Lance has said that he didn't think he was good enough to be in the Bones Brigade! That would have been some seriously hardcore street skating he did at that time! Thanks for having this on UA-cam!!!
Yeah, I think Lance has an inferiority complex. I never thought he was any less good than any of the other members of the team. And in fact, he was always my favorite.
Lance Mountain is who got me into skateboarding....I watched this vid in the late 80’s and seeing a pro that was sketchy as hell on his board, but didn’t seem to give a fuck was rad to 13 year old me 😂👌🏽
Dude thats awesome, I really enjoy these old videos. I'm pretty young, and hell I don't even skate. But for some reason skateboarding just pulls me in, I can watch it for hours and listen to these guys talk.
Thank you Stacey and company. I would love to send you a copy of the VHS my friends and I created in '85 reenacting many of the scenes in this ICONIC production. It even includes a version of the Blender delayed sound "Hey!....Hey!.... Hey!" bit. You and your team inspired many in so many ways than just one.
WOW! This brings back so many memories! Thank you Mr. Peralta!! I'm 50 years young now and still have and ride my old Tony Hawk XT from my old high school days! 🤣😉🤘🏻
Never really skated as a young-un, but my older brother was much into it, we had loads of old VHS skating tapes, including this one. This one is probably my favourite, along with the Rodney Mullen vs Daewon Song series.
I have not see this film in 35 years! Used to go into Shannon Surf & skate to watch it when I still lived in Houston as a kid. After watching this and some other suggested videos, I almost feel like all these crazy people were my friends. Lance Mountain, Billy Ruff, Neil Blender and John Gibson, some of my favs. Saw them all at Shut up and skate in 86 and at Tradewinds roller rink that same weekend.
Thank you so much for uploading this these are the absolute best times when I was a kid I can't even explain the way it felt to watch these videos even as a kid and then to go out skateboarding super pumped up man I miss that
I'm with you all brothers. 50 years young and still skating some to this day. These videos bring back so many fond memories. Downhill runs. Shredded skin. Twisted ankles (no broken bones thankfully). Best of all, the most radical times skating with buddies all over the city. Thank you for bringing back a huge grin on this face from reliving some awesome times watching these badass dudes. Skate or die!
I remember being a little Gromm back when these guys were the kings of skateboarding, I had the Ratbones Powell Peralta board, lol 😂 seems like forever ago now. The search for Animal Chin 🤙🏻
I started skateboarding again after 20+ years because my daughter brought her first board. Once I had a quick go and realised that I could still ride, I had to get my own deck! This video reminds me of watching this and others back in the 1990s with mates or by myself in amazement at the skillz of others! Thanks for sharing!
It's funny thinking back as a kid i always would FF the vert parts. We were poor, and couldn't afford the protective gear let alone a ramp so we just couldn't relate to it. Kids that had ramps were one in a million, and the infamous drought of the 70s was over and pools had filled back up so those were near impossible to come by too. It was a rough patch for skating from 85 to 94 where even skate parks were far away and only the talk of legends lol
Came here after "Until The Wheels Fall Off" about Tony Hawk, what a touching work it is. I never skated like any of the guys who called themselves skaters, but nonetheless skateboarding is a big part of my life. I often hung around skate spots to see people trick and slam, played a crap ton of THPS on my console, Lords of Dogtown is my kinda movie (I rewatch it annually, like clockwork - that's where I discovered and fell in love with Heath Ledger), many of the bands whose tracks are used in skateboarding videos I end up digging a lot (like, still to this day I remember discovering Other Lives through a video by Bragic (Brettt Novak) with Kilian Martin in India). I guess I poured this all out to pay respects to the pioneers of this art form and to say "thank you" to all the people keeping it alive. Cheers!
Since first seeing this in 1983 at the ripe old age of 11 I have been chasing the stoke and cool of Lance Mountain just skating around town. This video was such a huge influence- the outfit, the style, the pure joy of skating around aimlessly, putting stickers wherever you felt like putting them... Basically, Lance was the blueprint for so much. Growing up in LA we went and found most of the spots he rode in this and that was no easy feat in the pre-Internet days. We even figured out where Mountain Manor was and went bananas when we realized it was close to our neighborhood. Lance let us skate one day too! Insane. Thanks, man!
We watched this as kids on vhs, early 80s when we were trying to skate and getting chased by cops. Mullen blew my mind. Here I am now, nearly 50, life has moved on, but Mullen is still a god
Bought my copy in 1984 at my local skate shop which was really more of a hockey shop. About 3 years later the Bones Brigade pulled up in a white van and did a demo in the tiny, pebble-filled parking lot. It meant a lot to us Midwestern kids.
Must have watched this a couple of hundred times over the years. Each time I seri I'm blown away at some of the things pulled even then. The hanplant I the dusty Mini drainage ditch. Hawk at Del mar. I could go on an on. They were all really jst kids. Amazing.
Who else gets just as excited as they did in the 80s when the ripper rips the screen? Yapple dapple brothers!
I love it when he laughs then blinks his eyes and smiles
Uh-huh, I still get the same sense of wonder when I watch these guys skate as I did back then too, especially Mullen ❤
ROTTEN APPLE!
I was born in '84, and the skeleton face is burned into my brain from seeing it once on a little tv in my uncle's bedroom.

Never get tired of watching Rodney freestyling. The precision is still mind blowing

The more I see of Hawk, the greater admiration I have for him - definitely an innovator!
Especially at the age he was doing a lot of this, early to mid-teens.

That's so cool man. Much RESPECT to you bro!!!
Gonna say it... Lance Mountain has the most epic video part ever.
He is always having so much fucking fun ... I love it.
He is probably the best pool skater ever. I won't name other names. (Chris Miller, Caballero, Hawk, Grosso, ok enough.) Lance rules the pools.
Yup!:)

Pure genius. Will never get old.

The best era of skateboarding 80 to 86, the great space in-between booms...
So many great memories of watching these vids. Love the Rodney Mullen part skating in the park where some cool dudes come riding past on a sofa!?!
8:21 Steve Caballero blew my mind away Bammm
Yeah, I was just noticing that too. He was really ripping in that ditch. The invert was particularly nice.
Thank you so much for uploading this these are the absolute best times when I was a kid I can't even explain the way it felt to watch these videos even as a kid and then to go out skateboarding super pumped up man I miss that
I'm with you all brothers. 50 years young and still skating some to this day. These videos bring back so many fond memories. Downhill runs. Shredded skin. Twisted ankles (no broken bones thankfully). Best of all, the most radical times skating with buddies all over the city. Thank you for bringing back a huge grin on this face from reliving some awesome times watching these badass dudes. Skate or die!
This movie changed my life.
When we were skating back in these days we would have imagined that kind of tricks that would be done ten, twenty and thirty years later. It's insane.
I miss these days so much we was kind of outlaws back then being chased from place to place skating till 12/1 am no worrys in the world
Awesome thanks for putting it out there. I know this video word for word. It keep a lot of us alive in the 80's.
Was that Lance Mountain doing the ollie off the roof in the beginning? Huge for back in the day, big now
Of course
you know it
Acid drop , was not an Ollie
Bones Brigade is the best ever best skaters everywhere I’ve never seen them before i❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ you
I remember being a little Gromm back when these guys were the kings of skateboarding, I had the Ratbones Powell Peralta board, lol 😂 seems like forever ago now. The search for Animal Chin 🤙🏻
I started skateboarding again after 20+ years because my daughter brought her first board. Once I had a quick go and realised that I could still ride, I had to get my own deck! This video reminds me of watching this and others back in the 1990s with mates or by myself in amazement at the skillz of others! Thanks for sharing!
Ciao from Rome 🇮🇹 Tony Hawk was already fantastic!!
That opening gives me goosebumps
The video that captures the fun of skateboarding.
It's funny thinking back as a kid i always would FF the vert parts. We were poor, and couldn't afford the protective gear let alone a ramp so we just couldn't relate to it. Kids that had ramps were one in a million, and the infamous drought of the 70s was over and pools had filled back up so those were near impossible to come by too. It was a rough patch for skating from 85 to 94 where even skate parks were far away and only the talk of legends lol
Hawk’s part is still heavy by today’s standards.
Epic! I love these classic Bones Brigade videos. They had the best skating and music.
Uncle Lance so raddd 🔥🔥
lance’s parts are my favorite. very relaxing, only you, your board and road.
Fawking glory days.
Why didn’t Steadham ever get more footage? He was so fucking good.
Homeboy is ill on that skateboard BUT them socks and headband are killing me. LMAO
Classic! Got this in original video tape.
Came here after "Until The Wheels Fall Off" about Tony Hawk, what a touching work it is. I never skated like any of the guys who called themselves skaters, but nonetheless skateboarding is a big part of my life. I often hung around skate spots to see people trick and slam, played a crap ton of THPS on my console, Lords of Dogtown is my kinda movie (I rewatch it annually, like clockwork - that's where I discovered and fell in love with Heath Ledger), many of the bands whose tracks are used in skateboarding videos I end up digging a lot (like, still to this day I remember discovering Other Lives through a video by Bragic (Brettt Novak) with Kilian Martin in India).
I guess I poured this all out to pay respects to the pioneers of this art form and to say "thank you" to all the people keeping it alive. Cheers!
Since first seeing this in 1983 at the ripe old age of 11 I have been chasing the stoke and cool of Lance Mountain just skating around town. This video was such a huge influence- the outfit, the style, the pure joy of skating around aimlessly, putting stickers wherever you felt like putting them... Basically, Lance was the blueprint for so much. Growing up in LA we went and found most of the spots he rode in this and that was no easy feat in the pre-Internet days. We even figured out where Mountain Manor was and went bananas when we realized it was close to our neighborhood. Lance let us skate one day too! Insane. Thanks, man!
We watched this as kids on vhs, early 80s when we were trying to skate and getting chased by cops. Mullen blew my mind. Here I am now, nearly 50, life has moved on, but Mullen is still a god
18:22 does anyone recognise the song?
Effie I recognize the songs vibe but not this song
I was just wondering the same thing.
Its called Mystery by the Nudes impossible to find anywhere online
28:18 Kickflip all the way back in 1984!
Filmed in 1983!
Also an ollie over a deck. And then I think it was followed by a fakey backside 180 + bigspin
@@spornineteenninetynine4718 - it was a Heli-pop: BS 360 Nollie
Love it! I grew up with films like this and Trashin' :) Thanks
Thanks for uploading this to UA-cam!🔥🙏 Brings back some ripping memories!!!😎
Bought my copy in 1984 at my local skate shop which was really more of a hockey shop. About 3 years
later the Bones Brigade pulled up in a white van and did a demo in the tiny, pebble-filled parking lot. It meant a lot to us Midwestern kids.
Must have watched this a couple of hundred times over the years. Each time I seri I'm blown away at some of the things pulled even then. The hanplant I the dusty Mini drainage ditch. Hawk at Del mar. I could go on an on. They were all really jst kids. Amazing.
The pool and half pipe skateing is truly inspering
At the time of this/my comment...who in THE HELL gave this 7 thumbs down?
this was amazing to watch. i was born in 86 so yeah i wasnt skateboarding back then and i skate a popsicle shape. early 2000 OG.
