i was afraid peter had passed or something when i saw the thumbnail, glad we’re just appreciating his legacy! he’s one of the most important skateboarders period.
This is skateboarding. Period. Eating shit…eating more shit….loving it…and leaving everything destroyed with epic style. Watching him skates scares me…love it.
I had a Gerwer/Hewitt Grimple Stix. Was my first shaped board that wasn't a popsicle shape after over 100+ boards. Changed my life. I still ride a modern style for doing kick tricks but shaped boards are slept on.
one of a kind style. thanks for the trip down memory lane, lot of these clips take me back to my salad days of skating & Hewitt was always a stoking inspiration
Had the pleasure of hanging with Pete a handful of times at Big Wednesday and even running into him at Washington St He was always the nicest most genuine down to earth dude. Not to mention the most sturdy and powerful looking style, so sick!
Holy shit! It might sound ridiculous, but I only just realized that Frank Gerwer and Peter Hewitt are not the same person. I have trouble recognizing faces. Somehow, they occupied the same location in my brain, as OG rad skaters. Thanks XD
Peter Hewitt in the Anti Hero tent city video will always be a staple of gnarliness when I reminisce to myself nostalgically. I see him do something and I think, “hell no” to revere the significance of scary tricks he pulls off in the sketchiest of spots.
man, I watched his part in 411 episode 33 on VHS so many times when I was younger. Like every time before I would head out to skate in like 98-2000ish. so fun to watch him rip
I recently got a Peter Hewitt Grimple board because it was the right size and shape, not knowing who he was, finally googled this. Stoked to represent this guy, he’s a madman, the technicality of some of these tricks is not lost on me.
Facts! Had a kid ask me a while ago if I was sponsored, I told him no I just have fun if a sponsorship comes it comes but if it doesn't I'll still be having fun skating and for him just to have fun most important part is just to enjoy it! 👊✌️
Some of his skating gives me anxiety like i'm going straight to flat. He's always been impressive, never heard him mentioned for having big airs but damn he had some BIG airs.
I got to skate with him a lot, we drove the kona camper across the country to Oregon Trifecta long ago, everywhere we stopped to skate he was there with the king of the road tour the year we all went to Carbondale Co then Oregon Trifecta, stopped in Louisville first they were there too, epic road trip
Peter use to come to my buddies Nathan's spine ramp in UC ( san diego ) back in the day , we were just kids back then and watching him rip for hours was pretty bad ass.
@@DopeboySpoon Thanks big dawg, Im fucking scared to go the doctor again.. just knowin what theyll say I need done for my brain and stomach. The dent n bald spot on my heads got some charm tho LMAO. Might ride it out and just skate, paint, help out at spots n chill with family til I kick the bucket forreal. Im in STL with a whole lot of DIYs that need help before I go. I wanna help build some of the Sk8 Liborius churchs new concrete section so I can leave a mark forever.
@@vancouverbill I appreciate you dude, the hard part is begging my family to drive me places to help at or skate.... the 1 thing I really dont recommend with severe brain injuries or a tumor is you cry a fucking lot lol. Even over simple things like a supportive comment. Thanks man.
@@EVAASIVEOne all good brother. We are taught to be ashamed of any tears but nothing wrong with feeling something deep, whether from landing a trick you have worked really hard at or connection with your community, those times are priceless
Peter Hewett was one of those vert dudes the street skaters loved back when street skaters weren't into vert almost at all, for whatever stupid reason that was. There's something very street about his approach even when skating built-for-skating parks, just going balls to the wall not caring if he gets destroyed, probably more than half drunk, just killing it in a way the builders probably never anticipated.
Peter and Frank are funny as fuck.You’ll never stop laughing at their shenanigans. Those airs Peter blasted out of Lance Mountain old bowl were narly as fuck. That bowl was like fourteen feet deep. I remember my stomach was queening just looking over the edge into the deep abyss.😮
Those clips from Bucky's pool are so gnarly. Why did he get rid of it, just too expensive? Seemed like the heaviest sessions when it was around, bucky was going nuts too!
Tony was doing 540s in the ORIGINAL COMBI BOWL in 85,there's some footage of Phelps talking about how FUCKING INSANE That was on ask the Phelper or summat.Yeah,Hewitts a fuckin Gnarlmaster but NEVER underestimate the Birdman....
"Do you even know what you're doing right now, he has no idea what he's doing....he's just hanging on" "Do you know you were upside-down there and ahh, and he has no clue. He's just like, what did I do"?? " Well you made it"!!........Darren Navarrette
I was expecting a mini-doc instead we get 10mins of Peter Hewitt skating. That's 100% Skateboarding
Goto vice for documents
First four minutes literally just of him slamming. Genius editing.
i was afraid peter had passed or something when i saw the thumbnail, glad we’re just appreciating his legacy! he’s one of the most important skateboarders period.
Lots of P-Stone footage. RIP Preston.
This footage is the granite base of an absolute gigantic mountain of a life in skateboarding. Mega respect to one of the realest to ever do it.
That switch drop into the pool was absolutely terrifying
I sing both versions of "this is how we do it" and "this is peter hewitt" to myself all the time - thank you for immortalizing!
The fact that that vine was done by teenagers/20somethings shows the future is in good hands
Grosso forever.
PHELPS PHELPS STILL WATCHING PHELPS PHELPS PHELPS
This is skateboarding. Period. Eating shit…eating more shit….loving it…and leaving everything destroyed with epic style. Watching him skates scares me…love it.
Vert could never die with a style like this ripping around. 🤘
I had a Gerwer/Hewitt Grimple Stix. Was my first shaped board that wasn't a popsicle shape after over 100+ boards. Changed my life. I still ride a modern style for doing kick tricks but shaped boards are slept on.
Shaped boards ( the right shape that is) rule for pools and vert. Not all of us are Jimmy Wilkins. A little stability never hurt anyone.
This was so damn good! Pete is a living legend.... Hope to be half as healthy and stable as pete at 50!
one of a kind style. thanks for the trip down memory lane, lot of these clips take me back to my salad days of skating & Hewitt was always a stoking inspiration
Had the pleasure of hanging with Pete a handful of times at Big Wednesday and even running into him at Washington St He was always the nicest most genuine down to earth dude. Not to mention the most sturdy and powerful looking style, so sick!
Yeah he’s always insanely chill at wash. Will talk with anybody
He's dead?
nah hes 50 though and still rips@@kylep3759
That slam section is INSANE!
The Best! Peter is pure, raw, high speed skateboarding with the best Style. Love it
Frank Gerwer and Peter Hewitt are two of my all time favorite skaters. Jeff Grosso is one of my favorite humans of all time.
Holy shit! It might sound ridiculous, but I only just realized that Frank Gerwer and Peter Hewitt are not the same person. I have trouble recognizing faces. Somehow, they occupied the same location in my brain, as OG rad skaters. Thanks XD

Had the pleasure of meeting Peter 34 years ago in Daytona ,Florida. One of the best skaters ever, love ya man !
switch roll in a backyard pool, I would never try that in my whole life, wow
Right? That was the most insane thing in the whole video!
Frontside, nonetheless!
just thinking about trying it makes my feet tingle@@dontcallmegus
We used to always try to mimic his frontside 5-0 at the park!!! Best to ever do it!
Us too, He throws his back arm over his head like Conan the Barbarian!
THIS IS PETER HEWITTTTTTTT (THIS IS HOW WE DOOOOOO ITTT)
The dude ripping it up since day one for all to see in that which is gnarly.
Roots
What a life he’s got to live so far! ABSOLUTE LEGEND!
Power. Grace. Style. This is how you skateboard.
One of a Kind! INCREDIBLE!
all the rad.... fucking need one of these each week, hyped as fuck , off out to skate, thanks
favorite skater ever. Pleasure to watch .dude rips
Awesome. Monks vert ramp setup looks so sick
Daam those hewitt's slams was gnarr gnarr 😎🤟 .. so good vid 💪
So many of his tricks are absolutely mind blowing if you know the spots. What a power shredder!
One of the original rippers!🔥🔥🔥
man, I watched his part in 411 episode 33 on VHS so many times when I was younger. Like every time before I would head out to skate in like 98-2000ish. so fun to watch him rip
Certified legend🤘 This guy is the ripper we all wish we were🤘🤘
Mad skills, bro. That is a part to be proud of! My jaw won't go up for a while
I recently got a Peter Hewitt Grimple board because it was the right size and shape, not knowing who he was, finally googled this. Stoked to represent this guy, he’s a madman, the technicality of some of these tricks is not lost on me.
The slo-mo on the flat ground heel was sick.
the original makalasi meme has lived rent free in my head for years now
See kids this is skateboarding. Not everything has to be so serious. Skate to have fun not for an insta clip.
Facts! Had a kid ask me a while ago if I was sponsored, I told him no I just have fun if a sponsorship comes it comes but if it doesn't I'll still be having fun skating and for him just to have fun most important part is just to enjoy it! 👊✌️
Not everything needs a flip in, grind, switch flip 270 out. SLS kids gotta take notes
tracking your progress through clips is part of the fun
The fact that there are real ones out here still thinking like this 🙏🏻
Word❤
Damn, I had so many of his Beer Hunter(flannel) shoes from Vox. I can't believe no other companies are copying that shoe. The design was so good.
Some of his skating gives me anxiety like i'm going straight to flat. He's always been impressive, never heard him mentioned for having big airs but damn he had some BIG airs.
That was rad. He is incredible in his skating!
I mean...I knew he was gnarly, like really gnarly, but like...I didn't know he was THIS gnarly...like Loop gnarly. Thank you for this.
I got to skate with him a lot, we drove the kona camper across the country to Oregon Trifecta long ago, everywhere we stopped to skate he was there with the king of the road tour the year we all went to Carbondale Co then Oregon Trifecta, stopped in Louisville first they were there too, epic road trip
that was awesome, thank you thrasher!
Hewitt is cut from the same cloth as Cardiel. He does tricks the way they're meant to look, fast as fuck with 0 hesitation. This was incredible.
I’m gonna learn bs airs befor the end of this year Peter !
The world is a better place because of Jeff Grosso.
Switch roll in at bucky’s 😳🤯😳
Nice! Let’s see another with all his outtakes and hi jinx’s with frank
Thank you Pete. Happy birthday holmes!!!!! ☄️
" this is skateboarding"

Jer Deglopper was on good times with Peter Hewitt, we skated with him in SD. He’s a legend end of story.
What up Peter! Much love skateboarding ❤
He went ham always, remember him crushing on the beauty & the beast tours. Miss those days!
Few are those who can say they hippie jumped over Peter Hewitt while carving a pool. Epic video.
This was mesmerizing 💫 ✌🏻
25 years ago he had epic part in 411 #33. I watched it hundreds of times. 😁
Excellent action! Action and excellence = excellent action!
The Hewitt am for Hosoi ad was so rad.
Loved this.
This encompasses skateboarding perfectly.
Peter use to come to my buddies Nathan's spine ramp in UC ( san diego ) back in the day , we were just kids back then and watching him rip for hours was pretty bad ass.
This gives me Dustin 7 day weekend vibes and I love it
Tile and coping shattering in AH & Creature videos will be played like Mozart during my brain surgery, just so I dont ever forget that shit.
May the gods of infinite stoke bless you with a smooth operation and a speedy recovery

Good luck man, that's so gnarly but rad that you have the love for the community, the skate scene, the diys

He’s a bad man! Seen him shred a couple times and it’s absurd. Oozing style and skates so fast, love me some PH!
So awesome!

PH at Upland Pipeline is a magical thing to behold.
Those guys who made the vine must be delighted right now
the score is sick!!
ABSOLUTE LEGEND OF A SKATEBOARDER WOWW
Peter and Frank are funny as fuck.You’ll never stop laughing at their shenanigans. Those airs Peter blasted out of Lance Mountain old bowl were narly as fuck. That bowl was like fourteen feet deep. I remember my stomach was queening just looking over the edge into the deep abyss.😮
I remember. PH is a real one. Incredible handstlye. Good foot stance.
RIP GROSSO 👑
I can feel a pit in my stomach imagining doing some of this stuff. He's making it look fun but this is some absolutely beast and dangerous tricks
8:51 This Münster line is freaking nuts!!
That was. . . . . AWESOME!!!
Thank you Peter. 😱🍻❤️🤘🏻🔥
Those clips from Bucky's pool are so gnarly. Why did he get rid of it, just too expensive? Seemed like the heaviest sessions when it was around, bucky was going nuts too!
Salute! Hail Hewitt!
I hate to admit that it was today I realised it was Peter Hewitt who did the air out of the wooden bowl in THPS demo on PS1 (I'm 35)
Somebody else explain what a "Demo" was for PS1 and how you got them
what a great time
Now that's Skateboarding ,FUCK YEAH 👏🔥🔥🔥👊🤘
forever young
thanks
Only banger ❤
Mans still got it
The nosgrind to nose manual in on the vert on a board without a nose 🤯
Switch roll in at Bucky's just shows what kinda person were dealing with
Wow he's my new HERO!
Just what I needed this MORNING ! Peter FUCKING Hewitt
Soooo oooo much gnarlier than Tony Hawk. We should have been playing PHPS.👏👌🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Tony was doing 540s in the ORIGINAL COMBI BOWL in 85,there's some footage of Phelps talking about how FUCKING INSANE That was on ask the Phelper or summat.Yeah,Hewitts a fuckin Gnarlmaster but NEVER underestimate the Birdman....
