He had the smoothest footwork i'd ever seen...that fluidity and linking of tricks was unreal

not only do the tricks, style and music age well, so do the clothes. A perfect mix of skating and cinematography

This was one of the first video parts that ever made an impression on me because of how smooth he looked and just so casually cool.

This never gets old. loved his style. I always tried to mimic Ray back in the day... No complys for for days!!!

Ray is def in the elite group of skateboarding luminaries, legends of all time. Natas was a pioneer of his time for innovation and exploration of what you can do on a skateboard, Ray was the first (and still the best) at bringing smooth to the game, effortless, graceful smoothness…a pleasure to watch…his style and this music make this clip legendary and almost mesmeric. Bless you Ray Barbee.

barbee was effortless. he looked like he was just walking around. the no comply is one of the prettiest tricks ever.

Poetry in motion, beautiful artistic flow, takes me back to an era of love

Loved this part when I was a teen. It really warms my heart to watch it again, those care free years of my life just dreaming of being a good skater.

One of the most gifted fluid skaters ever to roll. Every trick is effortless❤️

Beautiful. Love Rays footwork, and all of the no comply variations.

After seeing this video for the first time way back then me and all my friends HAD to learn No Complys right away. But nobody could pull them off as smoothly as Ray B! The guy made everything look so effortless.

A man ahead of his time, particularly with those boneless tricks.

This gentleman is one of the real skaters in the history.

Nobody can replicate his style. He means it!

such a mesmerizing part i love how personal these older parts feel, it's like you get to see this person just exactly as they are, flaws and greatness alike you miss out on a bit of that when you get to the parts that are just one trick, cut, one trick, cut, etc. all skating is sick but this just oozes that natural style

Fluid natural talent. I'm so glad this guy found skateboarding. Or maybe it found him??

He was always so smooth and light on his board. He is like watching a surfer on a wave.

Man back in the early nineties Ray Barbee was my hero.

My first time learning about this dude was some guy at my local library introducing me to this video back in 2011 and I’ve been in love every since. Ray Barbee rocks !

Going to the store to get my dads newspaper I WAS Ray! Hitting every curb cut, trying all the no comply and 43 variations. Trying to emulate that waterlike flow. Stoked at hitting up a trick in the evening sunshine with the only person to appreciate it being me. Getting home all sweaty to hear the old man saying 'might as well have got tomorrow's paper you've been that long😂. Back in my room watching endless skate footage. Buzzing for the next time on board. I'm 48 now knees are shot and back is too. But I'll still look at a spot old and new as I drive by them. And I'll always be a skater.

Camera man did an amazing job. Some of these shots are really great, like the one of Barbee riding along the graffiti when the car passes by, and the shot of him riding past the people on the sidewalk. It looks so effortlessly high-budget like it’s out of a TV show. As we get further in to the future it must feel increasingly “cool” to have this footage of yourself in such a raw era.

Just found this, absolutely incredible skater and this scene from BanThis still standstnr test of time, he was well ahead

I'm really glad I started skating when iwas young because I realize now that it helped me to enjoy things in my life; moments and people and not be in competition with them or myself. Thank you skateboarding. Thank you all the ams and pros that would look out with gear and decks who took us to comps and skateparks or would just come skate for a min and chill. I'm just one of many old youngster knuckleheads that appreciates that if you peep it long enough you see the movement.

There is such a diffrence with this era. True everything today is better. Yes H-Steet came out with better tricks later on but Powell showed the way. This was a period of exploring what was possible on a skateboard and doing it with style. Today there are no limits , but back then no one knew that so everything was fresh. Love this Barbee part. Good times!!

I remember when the tape dropped , 89 maybe early 90 - 91 whanna say , street skate was definitely starting to bloom , but Vert was still strong in our area , some serious throw back memories here after 93 into like the 90s before Xtreme Games ,, Vert was done , the boards were changing , the wheels were getting way smaller , from vert wheels , which were massive compared to what the new ones . The decks were revolutionized. But I still love all my vert decks , Hasoi was my go too , my first deck was Powell , good stuff , thanks for sharing , i officially feel old .

Soooooo far ahead of time.....

Barbee's parts in Ban This and Propaganda are the two greatest skate performances in the history of skate videos. Smoothest skater who ever lived by far. This performance was the most fluid of all time. None better. Some came close but this tops um all.

Ray and the Gonz are my two favorite skaters. Everything's just so smooth and natural. You can't fake it.

I have never seen someone so light on their feet. Amazing

As an '80s ramp skater, this was the first video to convince me that street skating wasn't stupid

Back in the day! Smooooooth operator this cat!

One of the best street skaters of all time!

Dude doing manual to kickflip way back then. Buttery smooth style. My wife just bought an original Ray Barbee board and a few others for 30 bucks. Didn't even realize what she bought lol.Its been skated and definitely not perfect but it will go perfectly with my little retro collection I have going.

I love how skate vids were at the time. Just cruising. Also the music and slow mo tgrough the entire video was sick. Not everythings gotta be hd and filmed perfectly, add some character

Skating like water moving down a hill, smooth ground or obstacle, just flowing and looking like a part of nature About as natural as a fish swimming. You can't teach effortless style and creativity. This man added some tributaries to the river, very pleasing to view

This part is way before my time and I still think about it so often

best street skater ever

Damn, when this movie came out you could even go watch it in a cinema in Amsterdam. Ah the memories..

Bones Brigade was the SEAL Team Six of Skateboarding back in the 80s. They set the benchmark. I don't think anyone back then could imagine the meteoric evolution that skateboarding would undergo.

Ray Barbee is a Jedi

Yo this dude is sick. He flows.

Pinnacle of skate filmography

So smooth. Ray has the sweetest style

So much soul and style to boot. Fucking guy is an inspiration in proper street skating......

I LOVE THIS SESSION!!!

Watching Ray skate is like watching an alien spacecraft that defies the laws of physics and gravity

the coolest video ever.

Always on my mind ! Thank you for the show

I hope that if I go to heaven I can still watch Ray Barbee skate.

I would watch this part at least once a day. Pop-shuvit-no-comply-manual kickflip, nollie gazelles--all done with that Barbee style.

The first ever kick flip I witnessed irl was Ray Barbee’s in a demo at winchester skate shop Epic!

Straight Butter Flow

love this

Those boards were heavy af back then too. Consider that when watching this, that makes it even more phenomenal.. get hit in the shin, or chin, with that bad boy- it feels like a 4x4 in the hands of Hacksaw Jim Duggin when it connects with your face, or shin.

I watched Ban This probably 2000 times. Love this part ❤❤❤😢

awesome classic part - i do these no complys 1000 times every day

So damn smooth 🐐

Impresionante como hacían esas tomas para la epoca

Perhaps it will seem silly to you... But since I saw this video in my childhood, I have never seen a better way to go to do the necessary shopping for mother than how Mr Ray goes to the bakery. It's still amazing the way to flow

Barbee was the man!!

Poetic.

Dude glided like ice.

So beautiful - so smooth. Those no-complies... I don't even know what happens at 1:19, bu that frontside no-comply 180 shifty at 1:22 is SICK I tried that a thousand times and nah.

that opening line is insane

Stylish as hell, some guys can make a simple trick look awesome. How he engages rhe rear foot and spins, wow! Just a no comply and it looks amazing.

I swear i met this guy in Grand Rapids Michigan

What a cool Musik

Dude! Those no complies are crazy😳

30 years later and i'm still looking for this music....

My favorite skaters are Rodney Mullen, Andy Anderson, and Ray Barbee

Were we all learned to No Comply .

this is how i want/wish to skate now that im 40

What a genius

thys is magic

so good

great choreography!!!!!!

It's like a dance

Love those no complys

Fantastic

This is why I learned no-complies.

Odličan je.

I feel like this is a ayahuasca hallucination

kako je dobaar!

It's parts like this that helpe bring popular appeal to skateboarding.

Reminds me of Andy Anderson

I had his first two boards and him being a black skateboarder made them all the more special because at the time there were a few if ne at all

magic

bliss

this.is.a.big.style.and.no.bones.dude.:).

He is as good as Rodney or Daewon. His skill is otherworldly

Oh, yeah.

Spettacolo

Sickness!😀

They shouldn't have skateboard contest,its not about being better then someone else.

I like this Song,is somebody here who nows the Name of this cool Meditation song.

Is the musik to Meditation

He is my cousin. He is of de Grandmaison.

King of no comply :-)

How long ago did you upload this video? 6 years When did you start? Umm, 6 years ago

Dude does no complies like ollies... Blown
