POWELL PERALTA PRESENTS: FUTURE PRIMITIVE

I started skating right before that Sacto contest, and I got to go. I had NO idea what I was in for. Lance being crazy. Neil spray-painting art for his run. Gonz showing the world who he was. And it was hot as balls. First time I heard skate punk... Forever changed.

It's hilarious that the only shot with Jeff Hedges is him beating the car with his board

i love steakboarding 💧🛹⚡ O)(/8

I feel like it needs a bit more digital remastering, or maybe 85 tube cam was just that lofi. The film they used in Public Domain onward has aged far better in my eyes.

I first saw this in a skate shop in 1986 and I was 12. How They Fly blew my mind forever. A 720??? How do you do it etc etc. Lost count of the times I saw this. A golden era.

I think is my second time ever see this video; thanks fir posting. Grew up watching the hell out of Video Show and Search for Animal Chin though.

tommy g, baby

Narly...must see..if one loves the art of skating.😎

Honestly, if you grew up skating and watching these videos, when you see Mike McGill do the McTwist you should get goosebumps. If you don't then you don't understand.

Is someone's watch going off the whole time or is the yapple dapple hitting harder?

“Keep the damn raccoon out of my truck. Please.” 🛻 🚫 🦝

Wow!...it looks so different then the vhs tape ..lol

당신은. 전설😂🎉😅

I still have my original Steve Steadham from 1984. Red and white ripped stripes - Purple Spade - dreadlocked skull.

Wish skate parks were like the beginning of the video

Fuck the song is so bad but Tommy’s skating is so sickk

What memories..... Came home after school threw this in VHS, got stoked, then off skating. What a life😊

The first video of fingerboarding

*McTwist not 540

something else you may not know, some reissues like my mcgill are just a big sticker for the bottom graphic covered in hand brushed poly, way to cheap out powell! last powell product i'll ever buy

Watched this 1000 times growing up..

Growing up in the 2000s playing THPS3 and THUG, Tony was my favorite skater cause he was the face of it. About a year ago when I got sucked down the rabbit hole of the skateboarding world, Rodney became my favorite cause he was the GOAT. Now, having watched the documentary, and watching these videos, Lance is my favorite because

he just like me fr

My only gripe (and it's a small one) is Tommy's music wasn't a great choice. Even for the time. Otherwise = chefs kiss!

This was an incredible time to be 15 years old. This video completely captures how it felt to be a skater then. We completely worshiped these guys and all the tricks. HOW THEY FLY was always my fav. I eventually would start vert skating 85-91. I was pretty decent. I was able learn invert on copying. I felt very accomplished! Thanks to videos like this for inspiring me to be punk rock and different and to skate tough!! Dallas was my hometown. Zorlac. Thanks for the video post! 80s best decade to be alive!!! especially as a teen

I watched this to every morning bowl of cereal for years as a kid, now my kids watch it with me 🤣

Not only the best ever for being bones brigade but also the music is absolutely legendary, I managed to get the cd soundtrack of this but it didn't have every track. All the quotes, all the wish i could do that, the fashion, I was only 11 and my brother got the video on import cause wasn't easy to get in England. Can watch it a 100 times and never get bored.

Legends !!!

Man I wish they censored the “f** me” in the pool segment of the video

horrible soundtrack

Beautiful

I can't find the Del Mar Steve Caballero run with the Youth Brigade song.

Still my favorite classic Powell skate video. This was the one we wore out in the 80s for my crew of east coast friends.

I remember watching this over and over. Pick a scene in the morning. Spend the day trying to get the moves. My friends and I did a fair job of emulating these skateboarding greats. Between the 20 or so skaters I regularly hung out with, we were able to represent pretty much the whole catalog of moves you see here. Except for one skater. The nut that was impossible for any of us to crack. Of the people I talked to about it, all of us wanted to ride like that. None of us ever could. And we revered Stacy Peralta for his ability to float and flow. Those closing scenes of him in the long sleeve shirt were our Mecca.
