"This one is made in my friends garden. It was her mom idea to make from skate swing.
This is a great example of upcycling, and one with a nice rustic look to boot. It seems we’ve been seeing more and more repurposed skateboards lately."
Eine kleine Stadtrundfahrt per Skateboard durch das New York der 80er. Das Video ist ein Ausschnitt aus Future Primitive, den man sich in voller Länge bei Google Video anschauen kann. Steckt für meinen Geschmack die hochproduzierten Rollbrett-Videos von heute, mit ihren seelenlosen Aneinanderreihungen von Tricks locker in die Tasche.
In the 80s, this is what street skating was often like: just a bunch of guys ripping down the street, crashing into things and generally having a blast. In other words it was pretty damn silly a lot of the time - and a hellofa lot of fun. Along with the Bones Brigade, that's Christian Hosoi in there with the green hair, along with Dave Hackett (acid-dropping off a semi truck), Ian Frahm (ollieing up onto the wall at the Brooklyn Bridge banks - big trick at the time) and some other NYC locals.
