Bones Brigade An Autobiography, Property of Powell Peralta, Skateboard Documentary

" .... if you haven't seen it - you need to stop this video and watch it now"

This was a beautiful documentary. It took me back to the mid-80's and my first love; Skateboarding. Thank you for sharing these stories and history with us.

I was a huge Lance Mountain & Christian Hosoi fan as a kid..they were the greatest thing ever to me, but Mullen was in another stratosphere above everybody on the ground

Wow airwalk finger hard flip to late finger flip WTH

Let's face it, this Autobiography is all about Rodney.

I wieh Mullen would sort out his teeth 🤢

Craigs bit was hard to watch way too cringe😂

I love Lance but gimme a break! You could have partied and fucked every teenage girl that came along but we said no! We want to skateboard instead? What a fag!

Love this documentary, gets me hyped to go skate every time I watch it.

Lances self deprecation is always upsetting as he is such a ripper and also is instilled with the pure essence of what skating is

I love rodney mullen . He talks sso beautifully i could listen to him talk for hours.

im from this gen, I just purchased my daughters P/P totem re issue, n a santa cruz , they wanna skate with neon, so our mission is to find as much neon board parts worldwide,

It is impossible to put into words how much I love this documentary. Besides Pontus Alv's "Strongest of the strange" most likely my favorite.

Some of the best times, glad to have been a part of it.

Such a cool story with an awesome cast of characters. Rodney is such a genius. Lance Mountain is the man.

This was a fantastic documentary, thanks!

When talk of the most “influential “ skater of all time comes up it’s always deservedly T. Hawk and R Mullen. Stacy Peralta should never be left out of the conversation. He was truly the driving force of creating the culture.

New book idea. The Words
of Philosophy of Rodney Mullen. That as a book would be at least 400 pages long.

“The freestyle maneuvers Rodney created in the 80’s would become the vocabulary for skateboarding in modern street skating”. Well…that’s one way to say it. A more accurate way would be to say that Rodney is easily the greatest skater of all time, and without his many genius contributions skateboarding would never have grown as big as it has. Tony deserves the credit he gets. X games made vert exciting and tony hawk pro skater was a nuclear bomb…tony hawk definitely paved the way in a lot of different ways. But i hate that Rodney gets thrown in the back seat just cuz he’s socially awkward as fuck and didn’t capitalize on his success publicly. He was more influential than tony or anyone else as far as tricks are concerned and it’s not even close. Name a trick that a kid try’s to learn and it probably came from Rodney

It’s so sad how lance depicts himself

Wow I am constantly enamored with Rodney's way with words. I relate to a lot of what he and Lance Mountain are talking about with just chasing off the darkness as a person. I think Rodney is a poet, and if he actually wrote poetry it would be on my shelf I'm certain

OK Rodney became world champion freestyle in a skate world that only had 2 genres vert and freestyle so he was like the face of half of skateboarding and his dad told him he had to quit that's insane I think 1986 he won the expo 86 skateboarding contest its pretty legit stuff back then a expo was like so world famous it was like the Olympics in a way the world was there he won with a perfect score and his dad says your dominated something that is meaningless put your energy into something with meaning wtf expo in the 80s had no meaning what was wrong with that man it's just crazy to think about

This. Is a treasure.

Hey Powell you missed the biggest money score of your life not funding those guys. Big loss 😂 sorry dude.

this could be an anime

All the scenes go black video is trash

What is the name of the tune with I can’t wait until September and who is it by ??

Thank u sooo much for posting 🙏🏽🥲

Hell yea I skate today bcuz of these guys!

I skated then but I joined the US Army and became a Ranger not a little crying bitch.

I'm Latino, I'm ashamed that little bitch ass SC makes us look like bitches.

Powell Peralta was imploding when I turned 18. I began skating at 12 years old and it was the first thing I was ever any good at. The loss of The Bones Brigade coincided with my coming of age and transcendence into adulthood. My parents were also recently divorced and that had been very ugly. When I found out that The Bones Brigade had dissolved it was like someone kicked the door to my childhood shut, and sealed it. This documentary kicked it back open. Watching it was literally like time traveling back to a time just before all I knew ceased to exist, It felt like a family reunion. I had tears in my eyes half the time. Not out of loss. I have two great kids and a wife that loved me enough to manage to stick around for 31 years. This doc was like going back home. I saw and heard things that had been lost to time. It also made me grateful for heroes like the ones I had back then. I'm grateful to say this film made me realize that they are still my heroes. It's also one more thing that I am thankful to Stacey for. I wish I could tell him how much better his passion for skating made my life. He doesn't get the praise he deserves. Skating may have well become "just like a hula hoop" without him. Just a children's fad of a bygone era. Thanks for not allowing that to happen Stacy

They should make a film and get the right cast for it!!

The first twin-tailed skateboard I had was the black one with the skull guy ripping through

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

Way to go to Rodney Mullens dad for recognizing that his kid was talented and supporting that talent. A lot of parent wouldn’t even recognize what was going on. A+ Dad forreal

Apologies if it's been said before but Lance Mountain is 100% Michael Scott (Steve Carell) in The Office.

Wow!!!!!❤

So cool to relive part of my era in skateboarding. I am now a 60 year old man and lived during the Dog Town as well as this one. Such a killer sport/ art form! 🤙🤙🤙🤙

Fuckin beautiful film

Such a cool movie. Love it

This is my childhood. I was a crap skater but I hung off all these magazines to see what they were all up to. This was a great place and time,

"Craig's in the back making mystical conments" lives in my head rent free 😂

Essentials to the art of skateboarding.

🔥🔥🔥

I would have sacrifice my career to support this legends too

FRAUD DOCUMENTARY. just joking, but they left out thE most important movie. "PUBLIC DOMAIN" hit mainland europe like a thunderstorm. vhs copy culture was at its peak, SO IT SPREAD LIKE A VIRUS-we kids with our second-class skateboards realized we would not get the pop so we must buy pro-equipment. we watched it and immediately bought real skateboards. it was like 1988 and seeing barbee and the street gang (pools in europe are not roundly shaped, they have sqare angles. u cant skate them. so street was the only solution for this market. i remember going to spain, learning a the kickflip from a netherlands pro (like 14 y) , kickflip 180 backside and when i came home i was a legend.
those guys shaped my life so hard, best quote WHEN LANCE SAYS SKATING IS NOT MEANT A SPORT the meaning is to NEVER GROW UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!

also the very progressive advertisment caught worldwide eyes, read your old trashers, ads are at like nobel-prize level.
also brand creating and brand maintainance was unparalelled at this time. they literally soaked their brand in shit just to be funny. incredible creativeness, coped thoushandfold nowadays.

Sorry for you, guys at pp, i never bought your boards because they did fell a little akward (wood wise), Santa cruz and st.monica airlines/NAtas was my choice back then. BUT YOUR WHEELS WORKED WELL !!!

May we all find a Stacy in our lives. And be one for others.

Great soul. Much respect to all the BB people.
