If u are in your 40’s early 50’s we lived during (IMO) the best time of skateboarding history

The early 90’s were a magical time for skateboarding.Anyone who wasn’t there could never really understand. From around late 1987 through ‘93-‘94 was essentially the birth and development of modern street skating and I am grateful to have been a part of it. I’m 45 years old, got my first real board in 1985-86 (it was an Alva Fred Smith Punk Size deck), never in the last 36 or so years ever ‘quit’ and will consider myself a skateboarder until I draw my last breath.

I am 48 and when I was a little teenage skater at a local skate shop demo where I was one of the shot team Frankie made a big deal about a trick I was doing. His level was so much higher than mine, but his kindness to compliment me stayed with me for ever. I love skateboarding and how it changes our lives forever. Nothing ever lifted me up like skateboarding has. Frankie is part of my skateboarding life story. He is as nice as he sounds in this interview. Everyone he talks to is his friend. A legend!!

@Frank Bonazza III Yeah, Rodney is a great guy. I talked with him for a few minutes at a demo at Stonehenge shopping center in Raleigh back in '93. I asked if he could still do the Caballerial Impossible to Mute grab he did in Rubbish Heap and he said that he hasn't done the trick since the video filming. He said that he would try it though and got it on the third try right in front of me. Rodney was just on another level and seeing him skate in person just leaves you in awe.

@chaseegozcue7637 Жыл бұрын

As another mid 40's guy that dedicated over half my life to skateboarding, that ollie at that time in skating was soo far ahead of its time. I still regard that trick as one of the best enders of all time. Seeing him make that trick, and his whole Propaganda part, was one of the definitive things I can look back on that inspired me to make skating such a huge part of my life. Cheers Frankie and great interview as always @thenineclub

This is one of the things I’ll always remember about my childhood. I’m still good friends with the guy that lent me the skate videos to watch on VHS 😂😂😂. So grateful to be alive as a kid back then - no school shootings, teenagers weren’t trying to have babies, fast food and candy tasted better, no social media BS, and the list goes on. The 90’s kids had it the best!
