hosoi was king of the big air!
tony hawk was an up and commer
natas was always in thrasher and trans world skateboarding
there was this polish kid, cant remember his name.

in cali they had all the drainage ditches and full pipes in ventura, i loved seeing them in the mags, man connecticut sux!

i actually started listening to the red hot chili peppers because of the movie thrashin. they were on for @ 2 tenths of a second in a scene and i remember thinking that is the sickest music i have ever heard and the band was out of control. i watched the end credits 3 times until i found their name and immediately started scouring record stores until i found 'uplift mofo party plan' then i got 'freaky stylie' and their first one and they were my favorite for many years before 'mothers milk' came out and MTV got a hold of them

what was the other old skate movie? 'gleaming the cube'?

i've been skateboarding for 8 years now, and i don't really collect old school stuff and i mostly skate street and street style parks, but also 15 minutes form my house i have FDR which is a whole bunch of interconnected bowls and i skate there pretty frequently, and i cna rip. i love skateing there, but i don't consider my self "old-school" i'm a skateboarder, and thats about it.

Christian Hosoi is doing time for possession with intent to sell.

The horribly awful Police Academy Part 4 had the original Bones Brigade skating at night with phophorous on their trucks to spark...that was some nice old school footage.

As for Curly Sue, I still skate pools brotha...just not trying to lay down the 5-0 grind over the death box anymore.

Dave_P you are speaking of Mark "Gator" Rogowski, he's doing life for killing his g/f if I'm not mistaken.
