During 1979 to 1983, skateboarding went though its first “dark age”. Popularity plunged, and most skaters moved off to smoke bongs and trash trains. However public transport strikes and a dry herb season in the early 80’s helped resurrect the skateboarding boom. With the surge of interest, Charlies Angels star, Stacey Peralta put together the first of the famous Bones Brigade videos –
The Bones Brigade Video Show.
34 minutes of classic 80’s skating with cess slides, rock ‘n rolls, bonelesses, street, ramp, pool and furious downhill action.
Although hard not to mention the rainbow coloured pads, Warwick Capper shorts, and crowd reactions that would put most Neighbours stars out, looking for work.
Highlights include ledgendary Tony Hawk showcasing skills well before he was legal to drink. The Amazing Rodney Mullen freestyling like he was from the year 2010 and Stacey Peralta in one of the finest downhill, frontside, backside, 360 slide to fakie rides you’re ever gonna see.
