I wore out this VHS tape and this video got me into all the bands, too. This video and Strange Notes were my life in 1988, stuck in a little town in RI with a quarter pipe in my yard.
It's crazy how different generations of skaters have some things in common, and how certain brands, mags, and content span the ages, I'm an early 2000s-2010 skate kid and strange notes was still going strong. some how my friends and I also got into watching older videos from the 80s and 90s because we thought the street parts were more do-able and relatable I guess? haha anyways fucking rad video
I used to love that board I went through like 3 of them, then I started riding that vallely with the elephant by powell when it came out, it had a better nose kick.
@@jonc3024 that Natas was the last OG board I owned before we all went twin kick. I had a superslick Vallely with the animals and later I remember having a Natas board with like a robot chick or something on it. Graphics on the boards starting meaning less and less as I got better and realized I was gonna wipe them off in a few days anyways.
I absolutely wore out the VHS of this and Public Domain when they came out. One of they most epic skate video soundtracks out there!!! -“Yeeeah! Jeff Grosso….ripping, alright!!!”. RIP bro.
Same here! I got SoF and PD the same day. We watched both movies back to back. We left PD as the "dessert" because someone had told us that Vallely's part was legendary. However, it was Natas who stole the show that evening back in 1989...
Jeff Grosso was my first proper deck, the Coca Cola one in black. Ahhhh back when skateboards had noses and tails and were like guitars on wheels. Still, after that, I went bigger with the Hosoi, then my first 'double tail' board Mike Vallaley SMA. I was never any good, but by fuck did I enjoy every second of it.
I had this video in 1989 and watched all day. Like a bible. One day a guy borrowed it from me. Never got it back. I casually bumped into the guy in the subway like in the 2000s and confronted him. His answer: "I sold it. For a lot of money in eBay". Amazingly, he was the grand-son of a former president in my country -- he actually had the same first and last name as the president. Crook. But at least he was into skateboarding. True story.
Natas is obviously the highlight but I love Jason's part too... just rippin'. The music (Minutemen, Blast and Black Flag), everything. I just saw this as experimental stuff. Eye-opener back then.
My first bootleg VHS skating vid which ultimately led to my first pro deck. The Natas with the panther graffic. To go from a board where you had to screw off a plastic bubble on the tail to be able to ollie to IT was sublime.
This is a great choice to be the first one. The first thing I saw was the Thrashin movie. I couldn't get a pro deck where I lived, so the only one I had was with that plastic bubble. Never got into it properly because of it. Too old now to get good at it.
Definitely one of my favorite 🛹-Videos ever‼️ Thanks for uploading it. It is kinda little time-machine for me of really good days back then 🛹🔝✊🏼‼️ Love the part of Jeff Hedges & Claus Grabke's Euro-Trip & of course Natas Caupas legendary Street tricks ✊🏼😊 PS: @ 21:16 ...

I'd forgotten what great music there was in this: loads of Black Flag, Minutemen, Sonic Youth, even Descendents! 🤘😃 Oh, and I never ever noticed the Neil Blender towel hanging in the cell before!😄
Whooaaa , an 1hr10min epic OG skate vid, siick!! This is a skateboarding history lesson. Looks like this has some skateboarding 1st's...fs tail slides, bs boardslide on a handrail. I see now that this is where Flip Extremely Sorry got the idea for claymation.
first park i ever hit, terrible, then a year later moms took us to martinez skatepark then we rode that for another year before going to vans! i really wish they couldve kept that park, its a little piece of history and a great place for little kids on scooters to play
Natas's part is the best street video part in sk8ing history it really supercharged every street skater that was dedicated strictly street at the time to bust, create and kill it everywhere!!! weirdest thing is My friend Shaun and I were sitting looking at a fire hydrant think about how to spin on it when Weasel and Greg came up and said if think that come watch this video we just got it came out this week I just fell backwards when I saw Natas spin the Hydrant
Taban...I know about this because I lived in Milwaukee in the mid-‘90s & a co-worker skated there. The Turf...Milwaukee...the pools have all been filled in(already happened before I lived there)...it was set up to be an indoor/outdoor skatepark...that building was made to open up during summer months/good weather. My co-worker...he was like a semi-pro skater...had won tournaments there...gave me this videotape to watch...I didn’t want to give it back because how good it was/is + the AWESOME punk soundtrack.
Taban...he talked about how the owner of the place had the BEST skateboard pool designers/builders make those pools & how much money was spent on them...just a SHAME. I wonder if they could be dug out...if that place could be resurrected...I wondered about it in 1995 and I’m wondering about it now.
when this came out what were you riding? i had a blockhead sam cunningham ,indys , 60 mm bullets and bones swiss bearings. i had flypaper too that was new that year. i had that black bullet shirt too. i dont know why they wont bring bullet wheels back. not the 66mm ones the normal ones that arent huge. they still have slow js though

This film deserved an Oscar for its soundtrack!
Oh yes indeed!
And for their acting 😆
Or a Spotify playlist for us 🙄😂
the greatest skate movie of all time.
God the freedom and authenticity of our 80's skate vibes, no cellphones or weak shat, just raw fun on your own terms

Yeah man....this is how I found out about Mike Watt when I was like 10. Love his stuff to this day.
Skaters island in newport?
Same here......but stuck in a little town in New Zealand!!
@@dreadknowledge1 Same here, but in Chile.... watched this endlessly back in the 80s.
A legendary piece of a past where all were Happy everyday
Natas Kaupas was a mind blowing street skater
Agreed
I used to love that board I went through like 3 of them, then I started riding that vallely with the elephant by powell when it came out, it had a better nose kick.
Nearly went for Natas but ended with the Pumpkin Kendall, all good though...then i went off and came back with the Jaya SC, just the way it went.
Natas back wards is satan😂

Natas is a complete one off. Never tire of watching him.
check him in "Goin Off" (on youtube now)
Natas is what street skating has evolved to.
@@tamusbabyNever heard of 'goin off' before. Thought I'd seen all his stuff 🤯 Thanks for posting this 👍❤️🛹

Same here!!! I got two VHS-copies and later on both were "borrowed" by some of my so-called friends 😕 It's still a great film!!!😃
The Natas footage was epic for its time, remember watching it about a million times...
my childhood
Jeff Grosso was my first proper deck, the Coca Cola one in black. Ahhhh back when skateboards had noses and tails and were like guitars on wheels. Still, after that, I went bigger with the Hosoi, then my first 'double tail' board Mike Vallaley SMA. I was never any good, but by fuck did I enjoy every second of it.
Good choices anyways
It’s still a brilliant film in its own right even to this day
for sure this was kind a art
It really is. The editor who matched up the skate sequences perfectly with the soundtrack, deserved an Oscar!
Best soundtrack ever...influenced my whole life since
mine too! The whole style of the skateboard scene of the 80s was kick ass.
My 80s coming back to life 👀😎
the minutemen - paranoid chant still holds up even more so now due to current events than ever before
The Grosso acid tounge was the best deck I ever skated. Love this vid.
brings back good memories
There has to be something said for this age of innocence...
Great songs on this video!!

what did you ride back then?
@@chrhadden 89? Santa Cruz, Kendall, the snake one.
May I guess? Was it Christopher Nixon?
@@coolhandluke212 😆
brings back old memories..
And it brings back new memories to.
Natas is obviously the highlight but I love Jason's part too... just rippin'. The music (Minutemen, Blast and Black Flag), everything. I just saw this as experimental stuff. Eye-opener back then.
Sonic Youth
@@galetinm Yeah, the intro and the The turf skatepark section. Wild.
@@jdmresearchfIREHOSE also, the most iconic part here.
@@galetinm I've both albums where they chose the songs from, Raging' Full on and If'n (and the EP 'sometimes')
Descendants
The street spots in this video are mind blowing
Loving the old style tricks well smooth
Kaupas' part just blew my mind. Still does.
Man I miss those days
45:03 woah im learning that trick
My first bootleg VHS skating vid which ultimately led to my first pro deck. The Natas with the panther graffic.

Rad!
Natas’ Ollie’s were massive
This was just insanely good jused to watch this up and forth back in the days
HUGE HUGE skate vid back in the day...one of the best vids all time...this and SFAC
But some things never change
A curb
A bench
Grab ya homies and get some skate!
Thanks for the share, always a great era for street. Most of my heroes are in there. Excellent.
This and Speed Freaks was my favorite VHS tapes back in the day
🙏
Sorry you young boys, but that's the best skateboard era ever!!🤘🤘
When time was greater than Now.
@@shaun8062 Correct, but you know what i mean.
Dude!!!!!!!! thanks for doing this!!!!
anos 80 melhor epoca do skate
yeah
Awesome video. The Santa Cruz Rob Roskopp 3 paired with OJ’s was the first pro setup I got as a teen.
Love my Pailhead CD
So much slow motion in Natas' section that I'd like to see in normal speed.
Just noticed afterall these years Credits show music by "Firehouse"
aaaargh, people without cell phones. and the rest is history!! Amazing ....
I just got paid to watch this while I’m at work
Natas + Rodney = modern street skating
+ Mark Gonzalez + Mike Vallely
@@skateboston420 can't really argue with you
Who else watching this in 2019?

Natas over the Toyota. Still just as mind blowing as when I first saw it 35 years ago. That dude was from another planet.
My first board was a Natas, Santa Monica Airlines.
15 ads!? Are you freaking kidding?..
get an ad blocker they are free.
oh man, I had the Salba tiger board, the Jesse posidon & the Obrien reaper fireball board. this brings back memories!
I can't believe it took so long for boards to have noses you think that someone would have thought of that
I forgot about Uvas Spillway! I used to cruze that! It's steeper than it shows in the video!
My favorite skater is Jeff Grosso 😝🙂
(1968 - 2020 R.I.P.)
RIP Grosso
I'd forgotten what great music there was in this: loads of Black Flag, Minutemen, Sonic Youth, even Descendents! 🤘😃
Oh, and I never ever noticed the Neil Blender towel hanging in the cell before!😄
RIP GRosso🏴☠️🇺🇸🤙
This movie is better than some multimillion dollar pictures Hollywood released in the past decade or so
thank you. you rule
Totally rad wee movie! ah luv it, ah!
9:05 Satan.
Legendary moment in skate history. Probably one of the most talked about parts back when it happened. Never forgot this. 🔥
I'm still here!!!!! Alive!!!
I missed this era of skating
ROCK!!! EN ROLL!!!!!! YES!!!
I'd never noticed it, but I'm pretty sure the prison guard is Skip Engblom, one of the Zephyr skate team founders, Z-Boys. No?
exactly what i just thought
yup
Yes,pretty obvious and he also plays the doorman at Johhny Rad's club in Animal Chin.
Sean Watson yep
And the judge is Richard 'Dickvak' Novak, the 'N' in NHS.
I've never seen anyone get close to sating like Natas or his style because it's too unique to imitate.
Anyone know if that full pipe in TX still exists, or it’s location?
In Australia we use yo sit in the surf shop watching this untill they would kick us out ...best of days
i would have told him "why do you play videos if nobody can watch them"
The capsule was amazing
To be Jeff Kendall and realize your street part was coming up AFTER Natas...
Jeff does good
Kendall was an all around great skater. He certainly ripped up the Turf in this vid!
Rip Grosso
Turf skatepark Milwaukee RIP
Whooaaa , an 1hr10min epic OG skate vid, siick!!
This is a skateboarding history lesson. Looks like this has some skateboarding 1st's...fs tail slides, bs boardslide on a handrail. I see now that this is where Flip Extremely Sorry got the idea for claymation.
I skated Benicia the 2nd day it was open... so good
