@@marissac870 and to add to that, the whole 9 club cast doesn’t have a background in transition skating at all, now that I think about it. They’re all kind of tech guys.
i remember every single one of these openers, omg thanks for the trip down memory lane, all of these tricks were so legit and awe inspiring for me in that era of skating. great compilation kelly.
My favorite 411, Best of Vol.3. Got it for Xmas, little did my parents know I found it in their closet a week before, watched it, rewound, and packaged it back up to receive Xmas morning 😂
Listen...I just checked the channel history and you guys haven’t interviewed each other...could be interesting to have one guest host help you out with that. Great vid!
@@funkydankspliff yeah back when I was a kid the cheap skate shoes are now worth $200 I used to get first gen Air Jordans in either the black and red or the white black and red or the blue and black for 20 bucks a pair at Big 5 those same shoes now are being resold by Nike for what $150 to $200? What a joke
These young kids really do call it a hard flip backside 180 you guys are right that is nothing but a ghetto bird Same thing as most of these young kids don't even know why we call the little ledges in the park hubbas Coincidentally you had a frontnose 270 out also this episode. I Liked that Steezy Called it what I've always called that and that's a 270 out Pretzel way
New to skateboarding (check out progression) -- This channel is so dope, I get to pick peoples brains and listen to lingo. Great for progression. Thanks guys!
U gotta think back then u couldn’t just go on UA-cam and watch whatever video u want. U had to actually buy videos so of course u only buy new stuff when ur a kid with no real money
This is epic. I also love how 411VM Issue 50 did top 50 Greatest Openers, and then Issue 60/10 Year Anniversary Issue had an Openers Chaos Section. Anything from Tony Hawks Kickflip McTwist to Frank Gerwer Kickflip down Wallenberg 4. A variety of jaw droppers while hearing the intro song (Sol - The Boxcar) since Issue #1.
Yo I grew up on h-street, world industries, plan b, girl chocolate and 411 was so dope you could see all your favorite pros dropping clips on vhs 411vm
411VM 1-15 were some of the best!! You missed out. I had a subscription as a kid too, so I can relate to receiving the video in the mail, all the kids in the neighborhood coming over to get amped on the latest before we’d set up the box, the rail, the jump ramp, etc., out front for after school session. I had all of the 411’s memorized up until like 46 I think…but they got progressively worse I felt. Just the style and the direction skating was going wasn’t as appealing as it was previously. I think when you saw 411vm #1 (or any through about #9) it felt like an underground phenomena yet. There was a window from early 90s to mid 90s where skating was for skaters precisely because it wasn’t like super accessible and mainstream yet and it was only being done by people who already loved it, and everything about it, in the 80s.
Yup. Orange county born and raised right here! I grew up skating in Westminster and then moved to Buena Park and I lived in front of peak skate park and I would see Ronnie skating there in the morning when I walked my dog !
8:04 "That is a Ghetto bird kids, don't call your Hardflip back 180s Ghetto birds that shit ain't it, that is a Ghetto bird" - Steezus Christ. Yes that's right, a Hardflip backside 180 or similar is not a Ghetto bird. Only a Nollie hardflip late backside 180 is a Ghetto bird.
That bump to ledge Danny Garcia kickflip tail kickflip outs on (great trick) was on Melrose Boulevard. That was my favorite skate spot of all time. You never got kicked out. I kickflip tailslid it, which I was stoked on at the time. I grew up skating with Van Wastell and I still have a photo I took for high school photo class of him front tailsliding it. Great call on that one.
I'm heavily biased here because issue 44 is the first and only 411 I own on VHS and the opener, my introduction to skate videos, was Tosh Townend hucking a feeble down el toro haha. Right after that you have TX doing a nollie varial flip noseslide down a ledge which made absolutely zero sense to me, and Danny Garcia doing a nollieflip crook down a rail. I love all 411's but that one will always have a special place in my heart!
This is exactly my time aswell! Damn i loved watching 411! I still remember all these clips! Damn… I actually still have the vhs tapes at the crib! 😋🤙🏼
It's 1 AM and I just got this random thought about how much I loved éS when I was younger and although I don't skate anymore could ya'll let someone know to rerelease the benji shirt? I can't find a vintage one anywhere. That was my shit!
Yo Kelly what about toy machine welcome to hell or jump off a building and Photosynthesis Alien workshop and so many not mentioned did u watch those cuz they were before your time. You had to of You were saying you only didn't watch Those 15 411s But was that the only company video you didn't go back in time on
At 2:45 that bank to bench. I have always noticed everybody does the same thing there, some combination of 180 and nosegrind or fakie 5-0 Anybody noticed that?
411 theme music used to get me so hyped up to go skate!! I remember moshing my friends, shoving them down to the ground when it came on, just wildin out!!
good list but since he said this list was from 1-50 i recomend for people out there that hasent watched it to check out issue 50 where lance list the top openers from 1-50 in there eyes. pretty cool
I still have my 411vm dvds & a few vhs tapes. I gave them away 10 years ago but once I realized how rare they were becoming, I instantly started ordering them back to back on amazon & ebay. Now some of them movies are super hard to find. I even got lucky & found deca 2nd to none dvd on ebay for $30.
The OG ghetto bird needs more recognition. 80% of people have no clue what Kareem did now that hardflip bs 180s are called "ghetto birds". A true ghetto bird is ultimately a nollie bs bigspin flip (the "revert" doesn't really change that fact).
There is a difference between a Nollie b/s bigspin flip and a Ghetto bird. A Nollie b/s bigspin flip is performed in one manoeuvre/motion. A Ghetto bird is performed in two distinct manoeuvres/motions (Nollie hardflip followed by a late backside 180) (not revert). Thus if you don't do a late backside 180 it's not a Ghetto bird.
Kids nowadays don’t know the feeling of hearing that 411 intro theme
miss humming that in high school with my fellow skater companions !
Idabble is fun not as magical but it is good
I wasn’t exposed to skate culture till much later in life and only had issue 43 growing up. I’d watch it all the time over and over, not really knowing a whole series was behind it and the breadth of skateboarding. I love it more than ever!
Making me feel old.
@@joeywho534 nah, wise and "well aged".
I made it into 411 #3, they didn't put any of my tricks in, just 4 seconds of me dancing like a fool, oh the glory 🤣🤣🤣
I love how stoked Kelly is on these. Man loves his skateboarding.
But not really into transition
@@marissac870 good point

Rad! We’re working on Uploading every 411VM in 60fps in the coming weeks, stay tuned!
FUCK YES 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Subscribed!
doing god's work 💚
Mate this better not be clickbait to get subscribers! We'll be waiting for you! 😂
Fuck yeah !!!!!!
Kareem’s ghettobird NEVER gets old!
so a nollie hardflip back 180 is a ghettobird as well? kinda confused here
Always thought the ghettobird was a hardflip revert. Actually is just a nollie big flip?
Oh skateboarding… gotta love it haha. I would say hardflip revert too. But I’m no expert
@@rektscrub5284 a true ghetto bird invented by Kareem is a nollie hard flip back 180 everything else technically isn’t but is considered one
Y’all should do a old school video recap.
Osiris-The Storm
bob burnquist is one of the first to start doing vert tricks switch stance!
Once it hit #2, I was thinking, "Man, I'm gonna be mad if Kareem's ghettobird isn't #1." 😄 Job well done, Kelly!
Watching Creager do that with my own eyes over the eurogap at Wembley repeatedly and so clean and consistently was insane, blew my mind.

Great segment. Super fun watch 💪💪💪🕊
Kelly gets me hyped
Dude, I could watch 411 openers ALL DAY. That music is iconic and just brings me back to better times 100%.
switch hard flip late flip that’s nutty
Listen...I just checked the channel history and you guys haven’t interviewed each other...could be interesting to have one guest host help you out with that. Great vid!
Episode 01 is Kelly Hart, 05 is Justin Eldridge, 19 is Jeron Wilson 😉 But I sure would love a Crob, Steezus and Roger Bagley one!
@@MarcDupuis50400 really? Weird. I didn’t see that when ordering by date. Thank you!
@@CertainExposures you're welcome :)
The people need more Kelly reacting to classic clips.
Kelly's recall on 411s is amazing
Tells you how long ago i skated i skated in airwalks haha that and 1st gen Jordans from Big 5 for $20. The price of those shoes now boggles my mind🤪
Big 5 bro, my dad used to buy me cheap ass skate shoes from there growing up
@@funkydankspliff yeah back when I was a kid the cheap skate shoes are now worth $200 I used to get first gen Air Jordans in either the black and red or the white black and red or the blue and black for 20 bucks a pair at Big 5 those same shoes now are being resold by Nike for what $150 to $200?

my favourite was cameron pooftoorish (spelling definately wrong) and his switch back tail around the curve ledge in third and army. awesome opener

damn. No Frank Gerwer front board fakie. that was my fav.
That was a good one.
Issue number 16 will always be my favorite. The slams at the end to Fake Plastic Trees is epic.
Respect for Kelly honouring the real Ghetto Bird
i read this as kelly harts top 911 openers 💀😂
3:33 think this inspired Jerry to do that storm flip lol
Missing; penny flip backtail
Kelly's stoke is infectious
411 was life ❤️
Kelly's "Poets" shirt: Is that a Whittier College, Poets, shirt? (It's their sports teams' name.)
It’s Gino Iannucci’s company, fool.

Yup. Orange county born and raised right here! I grew up skating in Westminster and then moved to Buena Park and I lived in front of peak skate park and I would see Ronnie skating there in the morning when I walked my dog !
I thought Ronnie did a BS Nollie flip late flip in the issue before.
When you guys are talking about Bob, it’s almost as though whole room forgot about Danny & Colin
I just scrolled down to say this :)
Was thinking the same, though at this particular time, Bob was definitely at the forefront of that type of vert skating.
Issue 28 was my first Skate-Video-Tape i have ever bought...
