Frankie Hill was known for going big and his part from "Ban This" released in 1989 is a perfect example of that.

My friends and I used to sit around the ramps, curbs, and session spots around NE Atlanta back then and talk about this part and whether we though you rode out of it or ate it. Decades later and some of us Still talk about it and cherish these vid parts and your influence and style. Bones had their mojo already going and then your part here and Propaganda showed up like BAM..... a fuckin’ freight train of pure street power and speed with crazy style. It’s 2018 and people are STILL talking about and watching you skate.......

These over sized tricks were the first I'd seen on a skate video! Truly evolutionary at the time. I always thought, the less height in skateboarders, the better... The taller, the harder you fall ! Compact skaters seem to do it better, in my opinion, through experience. May be a psychological thing.

I got to skate with Frankie in the early 90s, at UCSB and IslaVista, next to the ocean. Beautiful place. I've seen comments about him wearing the same clothes all the time. He actually did wear the same shit all the time. We all did. It wasn't on the radar. Skateboarding was all that mattered. He did do all of this in a couple of days probably. He's a focused and genuinely nice person. Always is and was. Its messed up to see skaters laughing at small wheels and baggy pants. It was part of the evolution of skating. But who am I to talk. We used to make fun of bananna boards. To each his own I guess .....

I’ve been skating since I was 13 In 1986/87 And this era was hands down my fav and most fun for sure. -I mighta been way better in the 90’s and could do pretty much everything except the gnarly handrails or heelflips but it still could t touch the fun factor of the late 80’a and very early 90’s....the board shapes were awesome from small noses -to-popsicle... FrankieHill was a huge inspiration to us at the time.. I liked his style a lot. The way George Powell treated him was tragic. Borderline criminal.. 1 million plus old school skaters know Frankie hill got dicked over with his broken knee.. Twice I think....His legacy makes him immortal for sure!! Thanks Frankie :)

It absolutely was. I was a touch young at this time, though I caught the wave in 1991 as a 15 year old - the era of the street revolution with double kick boards. That, plus illegal raves in warehouses with drugs openly bought and sold and everybody being happy - man, that was an era to behold. Thankfully the internet didn't exist yet, nor mobile phones, nor convenient cameras. Perhaps that's why those times were so great.

I have to say Ed Templeton was my favourite skateboarder in the 90's but have to admit Frankie Hill was the first guy who started to make crazy and big things on video in a time when street skateboard wasn't fashionable first, and 2 years after Ban This it wasn't cool to ride for Powell if you were on street skateboard, the era of big pants small wheels changed a lot of perceptions.Had he joined a Plan B, New Deal or Blind type of company I guess he would have been seen as a more cool type of guy during the 90's.
