- got a nice personal feel to it. But I have the feeling Jim Greco likes to see himself in slo mo a little too much.Calderone2000

Walked to work and home for the first time rather than taking the car. 5km each way.
Today on the way in I noticed all the pavements are pretty decent for skating and there's a lot of downhills (and uphills too - well, it is edinburgh!).
So I went out at lunch and bought myself some big soft wheels for cruising.
Some Ricta Clouds 56mm at 78a
and bones bearings.This'll go on the Element board I put up in the attic about 12 years ago.
It currently has venture trucks and some old mini rats from the late 80s/early90s when I skated as a teen. They are something like 97a and hate little stones or rough pavements.
Looking forward to my skate to work tomorro.
#40SomethingSkater- I have those wheels! They are the best!err

- Well, todays skate into work went well. Still not 100% confident on the board but that'll come back to me I guess :)microkorg

Valley Public Domain footage uncut! So dope! I used to worship this vhs.
- Great find!instrmntl
- Awesome. I always wonder, in those days did they ever even imagine or dream of boards becoming symmetrical as they are now?mg33
- Because you look at his riding style, and think "it was all there" in terms of riding direction, trick style, the boards just weren't there yet.mg33
- I skated through all that. The old school boards, the old new-school decks with smaller wheels and upturned nose that were still directional...mg33
- And then the style they've been since the mid 90s that we have now. It's cool to think about riding style that preceded the current style of boards.mg33
- i used to have those shoes..autoflavour
- i remember having a schmitt stix back when they were the only board with a double kick, but even then it was really just a turned up nose, not a kickautoflavour
- Been digging these old videos so much since I started skating a bit again. Didn't appreciate them as a kid.nocomply
- I think the limitations of the old-school setups forced more style, flow, and creativity in many ways I didn't realize back then.nocomply
- yup haha. and an old ripper pulling all that rad style at a skate park now gets lots of looks from lil rippers like 'pffft wut is he doin?'prophetone
- ...and i'm all like 'just rippin and bombin in your face lil brah'... matt hensley style b*tches!prophetone

- Seriously? It's Mullen. Skateboarding is a whole culture of fucked upness, but a togetherness which he makes sound beautiful.Ianbolton
- 'nutty' in terms of his passion and love... hope I am this excited about design / tech in my 40's as he is about skating as he approaches 50PonyBoy

Just watched "All This Mayhem." Damn, they made Tony Hawk look like a real doosh. Especially that bit about the 900.
- Tony robbed him of that 900. Lost some respect for him after seeing that.section_014
- watched it too this week... impressive documentaryCalderone2000
- Deff a great documentary, however don't forget that the whole 900 deal is just HIS side of the story...Miguex

The whole vid is great but I love how Andy deals with this guy having a go at him
- He is such a fucking dork, and I say that with love because if this kid doesn't make you happy, you probably had a shitty childhood.garbage
- This guy is my favorite skater in a way that feels so different (and better) than all the guys I looked up to as a kid.nocomply
- @nocomply when he petted a fire hydrant in the forest, I knew there was going to be a Natas spin at some pointgarbage
- My favourite skater of all time. He's absolutely at one with his board and has an incredible repertoire and constantly inventing.microkorg
- Amazing positive role model for kids. Plus he's always wearing his helmet even when farting about doing wee street tricks.microkorg
