In the early 90s I was living in Japan and my mom’s friend came back from CA with a bootleg copy of Virtual Reality. As a 12 year old that had never even seen someone ollie, it was fucking mind blowing. It started me down the path of skating, seeing the world differently, being resilient and creative.. skills which I use in my work to feed my family to this day. Thanks for the spark Jacob!
Thank you for your contributions to skateboarding Jacob! These times/moments/ experiences, the skating and music you captured are priceless. The hours you put in to share with us with you great edits -thank you! We watched Virtual so much, every day for months (Questionable too). The book looks sick! Congrats on all of your success.
I started skateboarding in 1999. I was very fortunate enough to buy the reissues of virtual reality and secondhand smoke on VHS from fast Forward skate shop. It was an honor to Bear witness to all the dope skating from the early nineties. And where i discoverd my idol Rodney Mullen! 9:41 it's not nearly enough to pay Homage to your work. Thank you Jacob for all the memories you have given us skaters! 🙏🙏🙏
Dang, this was amazing. I have a VHS from Hieroglyphics when I lived in Japan. It was a concert they did for Vestex… such a gem. Give thanks for posting this, No Need for Alarm is still on my top 3 favorite albums of all time.
This was fantastic! That BLIND Gone mac n cheese board brought back memoroies. I had the Jason Lee Burger King board and my homie Mike has the Gone board, learned impossibles on that board...good times! Love skate history.
I started on my board in 93, right in the thick of it. I still play del through the week. Anyone else ever come across a VHS called "the mission" ? Great tape/story
Awesome edit. I saw another interview with Jacob about his book and it didn’t resonate with me. I love the stories he tells here. The sounds of the 90s are key to his memories and bring the stories behind the book to life here. This video should be played at Jacob’s book signings and exhibitions 😉
this is the point in skateboarding where everyone did that same tricks...wore the same clothes...and smoked more than they skated...the catalyst to big ass blue jeans and white shirts and little wheels....pressure fucking flips....skating should have stayed punk....you guys put out this shit to take advantage of inner city kids and kids of color....selling books and bullshit stories...like you actually skated in this era....con artists.
Jenkem consistently dropping videos that make you study how an interview is really done. Sick sick sick
That could have gone for 4 hours, pure magic yo!

Such a rad curator of that chapter of skateboarding 💯
Man i relate SO much to the crossover between growing up filming skateboarding then transitioning to filming hiphop (battle rap).
Its a great book, definitely worth the purchase! the special edition even comes with signed prints of carroll & del.
