  • It’s been 30 years since the original members of the Bones Brigade-Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, Lance Mountain, Mike McGill, Tommy Guerrero-gathered at the Chin Ramp. This piece includes interviews with the team, Chin Ramp builder Tim Payne, and photographer Grant Brittain, alongside several well-known pro skaters who were hugely influenced by the climactic scene in The Search for Animal Chin. Watch your favorite skaters rip the iconic ramp again, inspiring each other not only to recreate some of the timeless moments captured in the video from which it takes its name but to push each other to new heights as they continue the search for Animal Chin.
    For more stories, more skaters and more more Chin, watch World of X Games’
    “The Search is Never Over” on ABC November 13 at 4:30 pm ET.

Yeah I know there's ppl WAAY worse off, I was born a white male in a rich country so should have no cause for complaint, but you nailed it with "it's all in the mind" which for me is a very dark, scary place. Thankfully sk8ing has been with me the whole time, it's a ray of light.

    Man, it’s been that long?! My first “pro” skateboard was a Tony Hawk mini...tracker trucks, rib bones, tail and a nose bone. Man I wanted that board to last forever. These guys were my idols. I still get all excited when I think of those days. And I still look at curbs the same way. A few years ago I was going into the Shoprite to buy some food and outside were some skaters. Me being like 40 at the time I saw them just like me and my friends those 25 years ago. One kid bumped into me said “sorry sir..” and then asked me for some change! I tried to stike up a convo with them about skating. They couldn’t believe that an old guy like me had broken in the very curbs they were skating on. Me and my friends would buy candles inside the grocery store and wax those curbs up and grind them til they were skateworthy. They looked at me like I was some kook. It was kinda sad really, I expected a different reaction kinda like “hey cool!” I walked away after giving the one kid some of my change feeling the shortsightedness of their youth. We were little shits in those days too! Always getting in peoples way, scaring old ladies, getting kicked out of parking lots. We thought we’d never grow up and skate forever. Some things never change.

I am 43 now and haven't skated in almost 20 years but still have a shop deck in almost perfect condition from a local spot that closed well over a decade ago. Very good condition Independent trucks on it with excellent Powell Swiss Ceramics ABEC 9+ bearings. No clue what the wheels are, lol.

    In 1986, I was 12 years old, had a Valterra skateboard and didn't really know what really good skateboarding looked like. We lived Louisiana, so the videos took a while to get to us, and at that time you had to rely on your friends getting a VHS copy from another friend before you actually got to see it! So It was probably 1988 before I saw this video and we all probably have different emotions or memories of how we felt when first watching it but we all probably agree we loved it! Watching this short film on the 30th anniversary fills me with such happiness. The guys I have admired for so many years seem vulnerable, older and yet they offer no regrets they just get out there and skate! When my little girl is a bit older, I look forward to showing her The Search for Animal Chin and hope that she understands the message behind the film. Thank you Stacy, Lance, Tommy, Mike, Steve and Tony. You took me back to age 14 and a sense of simple enjoyment that I hope the younger generations can achieve. Kudos!!

      We're supposed to get one nice weekend this year. I may try to hit the park up the road from me. Seeing videos like this - despite them being 1000x better than I ever was - makes me want to re-learn everything (and probably acquire another 8 or 9 concussions. )

      John Doe I know I shouldn't be complaining about the weather but it's hard to be motivated to skate when I get a mean indian tear after skating for like 5 minutes, then there's the fact I can't feel my feet when it's cold out and there's just a bunch of autumn to deal with, all the crap falling out of trees to add onto the broken glass, pebbles and grime that's just part of the occupational hazard of skating through a crusty city. I'll deal with it but I am not gonna be a happy camper especially when winter rolls around

      no worries man, just giving you a hard time. LOL, I shouldn't be though since I'm in the same boat.
      Weather up here in PA is the same deal. It gets cold, and I get miserable... and by cold, I mean dropping into the 40s. So when it hits the 20s in a month or so, I'm gonna be a bitter pain in the ass to everybody around me.

    I almost cried watching this. What you all have meant to my whole life for these past 30 years, I can't begin to put into words. I know how modest you all are, simply because of the humility that you all exhibit. But you are my heroes. I loved my Guererro deck- it was my favorite deck of all time. And each one of you have distinct spots of overwhelming joy in my life. I can't begin to thank you all enough. BTW, you guys shredded that new Chin ramp!!!

      I remember busting my ass trying to get new subscribers when I was a paperboy for the Orange Country Register, because they had a point system for how many subscribers you had an how many new ones you have. These guys had I remember a blue stain with red figure Lance FP board with Blue Ratbones wheel, and blue schmidt II rails. I never got the points to get it. But damned if I did not try. I keep searching on Ebay for a replica or something of that board. Maybe one day this old broke down Soldier will get that stick

    • @cagolan
      @cagolan 5 років тому +1

      @@happilysingle8385 Maybe not on top, but they've still got some skills. It's mostly because of their age they don't go mad and try extreme tricks. Younger people can coz they heal faster. That's kind of it really.
      So those guys could probably still bust out insane tricks (and i mean for 50 year old's, some tricks in this video are pretty sick if you think about it), but the injury isn't worth it sort of.

    Found this and can´t believe my own eyes. I was skating as a kid and teenager in the 80s and watched the search for animal chin over and over. I bought the original VHS Cassette at my local skate shop to see my personal legends every day and try every day to skate like them! Now i´m 51 years old and my thought was: "Okay Tony Hawk is still skating", but TODAY i had to learn, that EVERYONE of my old Heroes, never quit skating over the time! I also found videos from Christian Hosoi, who´s nailing it like he was a young boy..... It´s absolutely AMAZING, guys!
    I Love you, for bringing my childhood back on my TV Set. I wish i could start skating again, but i was seriously injured at the end of the 90s and can´t get back on the Board. :(
