From: Emanuele Ferrigno Greetings, My question… In your opinion will skateboard decks and skateboarding related items from 1995 to present day like shoes, wheels, trucks, ect. ever be highly collectible like the stuff from the late 70’s and 80’s? I know, specially skateboard decks, stuff from the 80’s and early 90’s are very collectable…Tony Hawk, […]
Today we’re taking a look at Simpsons Skateboarding, a PS2 exclusive from 2002. This came out about a month after Tony Hawk 4, which is pretty impressive actually. This has a very similar setup as that game, where you can free skate until you start a challenge, and that’s when the timer starts. So I […]
Recently, I talked about cleaning bearings, and why you should never use WD-40. After that episode came out, I reached out to Bones to ask if I could try out one of their cleaning kits. So what I’m going to do is clean my bearings according to their official guides, then review the kit and […]
I said I had to wait until I was having an amazing day to ever play this game again, because it’s so horrible that I couldn’t handle it. Well guess what. Still haven’t had a good day since then. I’m recording this in late December, right around the solstice, when the days are 3 hours […]
How many flips are physically possible on flat? You’ve seen triple flips, and probably quad flips, but what about 5, 6 or 7? With the highest possible jumps and hardest flicks, what’s the most we could ever do? OK, the first thing I needed to figure out was the maximum amount of airtime you can […]
A little bit ago, Mike V posted this really interesting sequence. He’s ollieing up onto a pole, spinning on it, and coming back down. In other words, a Natas spin. What’s interesting about it though, is the date – from Summer 1988. Did Mike invent the Natas spin? So, of course, as we know, the […]
So in my Frankie video, I mentioned that I reached out to him and didn’t get an answer before. A little bit after the video went out, he saw it and replied to me, asking if I had any other questions that he could clear up. I asked you guys on Twitter if you had […]
Andy MacDonald is a really interesting character in skateboarding. He doesn’t really fit in with most pro skaters. He’s a really hard-working professional skateboarder in every sense of the word. In the intro to his book, Tony Hawk makes an interesting point. He basically says that everyone wants their pro skaters to be amazing at […]
This time on the channel, I want to take a look at Shaun Palmer for the Gameboy Color. Well, want is a strong word. This was an impulse buy. I saw it at the game store complete with the box and manual and stuff for a couple of bucks. I figured it would at least […]
People have asked about this for a long time, so I’m going to give you my top ten skate videos of all time. These are all available on the Skately library, which is what I normally use. They have pretty much everything except 411 issues and video parts that Thrasher has posted as a classic. […]
