Who else gets just as excited as they did in the 80s when the ripper rips the screen? Yapple dapple brothers!

My friends and I watched this on VHS during skateboarding sleepover parties 4,000 times and got stoked as hell to skate all day the next day! Can’t thank y’all enough from Georgia!

Never get tired of watching Rodney freestyling. The precision is still mind blowing

Lance’s aimless skating captures the vibe of what is was like goofing around skating down the streets of pacific/mission beaches … so killer … I had the great fortune to meet Tony outside of Hamel’s surf shop , that was a moment I’ll never forget … I love that we have these killer nostalgic videos in the palm of our hands now , they were nearly impossible to find 🛹👏🏻🛹👏🏻

That's me, Dave Bedore, skating with the guys in the CH. 2 pool Session, @ 3:17. I'm the only guy not wearing any safety equipment / pads and I'm wearing the red shirt and long blue levi pants. I was invited to the session by Stacey Peralta. Word was that he was considering putting me on the Powell Peralta team. Myself, Tony Magnusson, Dave Duncan and Adrian Demain were riding for Uncle Wiggley Skateboards around that time and Stacey was going to "pluck" one of us to skate for Powell Peralta / The Bones Brigade. My understanding was that Uncle Wiggley was becoming a bit too strong of a team and he was going to "take us down a notch" by enticing one of us to skate for him, which is a legitimate corporate / competitive strategy. Stacey eventually chose Adrian over the rest of us on Wiggley and the rest is history. I still have the board that I'm riding in the video. It's a custom Uncle Wiggley deck I made myself and it has no graphics. I was a bit disappointed that I didn't get chosen, but I was and still am happy for Adrian that he made the grade. Adrian is a really nice guy and a great skater.... But, to be honest, I don't know if I would have accepted the offer even if Stacey had chosen me because Uncle Wiggley himself and his team manager and graphic designer were so good to me as an employer, sponsor and personal friends, that I was extremely loyal and appreciative to them. I can't say enough good things about those guys. That's not to say I wouldn't have been "tempted" persay, but that's a given considering that riding for Powell Peralta at that time was pretty much "The Dream Team."

The colors of the 80s make me so happy

12 years old again, with those skateboard blues. Renting this out on Friday from my local video shop! I am now 48, watching this with 3 broken ribs after falling off my longboard. That's the real skateboard blues, not being about to ride at present! Skate or die!!

Lance! Your (improvised) street footage woven throughout this video encouraged the coins generations that you can have fun without ramps, ditches, pools or parks. Thank you!

Gonna say it... Lance Mountain has the most epic video part ever.

The more I see of Hawk, the greater admiration I have for him - definitely an innovator!

This made it to Australia in December 1985 along with the first Powell Peralta boards. I worked at a surf shop in Perth city. Got myself a skull and sword and this video. Iconic.

I will never forget the intro and Stacy smashing tv and pulling out a real board

MYSTERY , HUMAN QUALITY 🔥🗣️

I'm from europe. We had wild times watching all the brigade stuff back in that days, everybody had it playing 24/7. In '87 we met Lance, Cab and lots of others at the Monster Masterships in Münster. It was a 3 day happening and I hardly remember the "aftershow partys"...tons of free booze, skate/punkrock bands playin all night. Middays about 1500 skaters in the inner city, MacDonalds got destroyed completely! Even the Autobahn was closed cause of all the people on wheels. Our definition of "Skate and destroy"-lifestyle. No cops at all. One of my favourite memories. Surely the craziest shit of my life... Thx 4 the precious, priceless flashbacks!!!

I got my first Skateboard, when I was 8 (1981). From then on I skatet like 10 years. It was probably the best time in my life. Feels good to see my former idols again. I am still buying and wearing Powell&Peralta T's aso. Thank you for a good time from Germany

Still looking for the song 'Mystery' by The Nudes (Played at 18:23). Desperately need the full song. Who are the Nudes???????????????

Thanks Stacey! Your videos were a huge reason why kids like me started skating in Michigan back in the 80s. Ironically, it was the BB Documentary that got me back on on a board 6 years ago at the age of 38. I'm still skating, still learning, with no intentions of stopping anytime soon.

That white skull and sword board with the blue grip tape still gives me chills. Stokes me to the core and makes me want to skate in 2020!

Man I miss the 80s....

The pigeons attacking that old dude @ 12:02 while Rodney is skating in the background... classic! lol

Wasn't even born till 1986 and I used to watch this on VHS when in my early skating days (1998 onward roughly).

“That’s not a skateboard I’m gonna do a little adjusting here now this is a skateboard”

The genesis of modern skating right here. I'm 49. Watching these videos makes me feel like a kid again.

Was so awesome to see videos like these back in the day....rented from skate shops in the city 20 miles away then having to return them the next day...ironically everything was more fun then...maybe because it was more effort to get these videos like you valued it more...but I'm grateful they're on youtube now, so thanks Stacy!..

Everything about skateboarding was better back then. Great times. I skated until I was 53. Still love it, just can't do it anymore. But I am glad that it was a big part of my life experience.

This movie changed my life.

27:27: “The Amazing Mr. Mullen”: 16 years old with a father who actively opposed everything he did, and completely self-taught (apart from seeing pictures of tricks in skateboard mags-infamous in those days for occasionally publishing staged photos-assuming everything he saw in those mags was for real and then figuring out how to reverse-engineer them from the grainy, black-and-white photos and execute them consistently, in a three-car garage on his family farm in a remote part of Florida where “my best friends were hooved”…)

Grew up watching and learning from all the Powell videos. The best memories ever had was born with this.

The soundtrack was awesome "I got the skateboard bluuuuuuuues......"

I haven't watched this video in years, still amazing (2/1/21) WHO ARE THE 8 PEOPLE WHO GAVE THIS A THUMBS DOWN ? WHAT !!!

Still a Classic! This still puts a smile on my face! Now time to go skate with my kids!

Watching this video brings back memories of my youth. Skateboarding at its best.

that footage of Hawk skating del mar is still the best thing ive ever seen even now 35 yrs or so later

Always loved the Bones Brigade videos. I got to see them live at a demo in Annapolis MD back in 1987. I wish I still had the tour t-shirt. That was my favorite shirt for years to come. The years have proven that the Volvo 245 is still a fine set of wheels.

Great,great my childhood who remember the bones brigade in police academy?

19:52 Thank you based Peralta.

I would have been around 10 years old when this came out, and got into skating not long after that. I CANNOT believe that I've never gotten around to watching this until today! One of the best things I've ever seen, one of the good reasons that the Internet was invented. Can't believe Lance has said that he didn't think he was good enough to be in the Bones Brigade! That would have been some seriously hardcore street skating he did at that time! Thanks for having this on KZfaq!!!

That royalty free soundtrack. Lots of synthesizers and Lenny Van Haven on guitar...

i have a powell perelta board. best purchase ever.

Thank you so much for uploading this these are the absolute best times when I was a kid I can't even explain the way it felt to watch these videos even as a kid and then to go out skateboarding super pumped up man I miss that

I think a lot of our problems today started with this decade. The '80s were so incredible in every conceivable way that today and the last 3 decades have collapsed culturally in its shadow. Nothing could compete with the music, the styles, the films, the personalities... What a fine goddamn decade.

I’ve watched this more than any other movie over the last almost 40 years. LEGENDARY.

Oh, man! That very video made me start skateboarding. Haven't stopped since.

Thank you Stacey and company. I would love to send you a copy of the VHS my friends and I created in '85 reenacting many of the scenes in this ICONIC production. It even includes a version of the Blender delayed sound "Hey!....Hey!.... Hey!" bit. You and your team inspired many in so many ways than just one.

Used to hire this at video shop back in 1994, it was old back then 😂, lances part my favourite

Awesome thanks for putting it out there. I know this video word for word. It keep a lot of us alive in the 80's.

lmao best intro ever. nothing like breaking a tv and getting a brand new skate board lol

Classic skate video! Wore my much-loved VHS copy of this and Animal Chin out back in the day!

I miss just skating through town like that. Just pure energy! Just constantly on the go!

I love it alot

Thank you love this

So sick! Thank you!

Great classic.

Lance Mountain is who got me into skateboarding....I watched this vid in the late 80’s and seeing a pro that was sketchy as hell on his board, but didn’t seem to give a fuck was rad to 13 year old me 😂👌🏽

This video gets me stoked!

I'm with you all brothers. 50 years young and still skating some to this day. These videos bring back so many fond memories. Downhill runs. Shredded skin. Twisted ankles (no broken bones thankfully). Best of all, the most radical times skating with buddies all over the city. Thank you for bringing back a huge grin on this face from reliving some awesome times watching these badass dudes. Skate or die!

I have not see this film in 35 years! Used to go into Shannon Surf & skate to watch it when I still lived in Houston as a kid. After watching this and some other suggested videos, I almost feel like all these crazy people were my friends. Lance Mountain, Billy Ruff, Neil Blender and John Gibson, some of my favs. Saw them all at Shut up and skate in 86 and at Tradewinds roller rink that same weekend.

So many great memories of watching these vids. Love the Rodney Mullen part skating in the park where some cool dudes come riding past on a sofa!?!

WOW! This brings back so many memories! Thank you Mr. Peralta!! I'm 50 years young now and still have and ride my old Tony Hawk XT from my old high school days! 🤣😉🤘🏻

Thanks for uploading this to KZfaq!🔥🙏 Brings back some ripping memories!!!😎

Love Lances’ night skate session, that small bit helps me remember those days

Skate&destroy by the faction is great in skate session... It was one of the first videos I saw in 1994 when I started skating. I had it on VHS tape.... Now in 2023 I'm still skating... I have never stopped skating from 1994 until now As always my favorite part of this and all skateboarding videos is where the best skateboarder of all times comes out: RODNEY "THE MUTT" MULLEN..... FOREVER AND EVER!

Thank you very much for uploading the video !

Uncle Lance so raddd 🔥🔥

Never really skated as a young-un, but my older brother was much into it, we had loads of old VHS skating tapes, including this one. This one is probably my favourite, along with the Rodney Mullen vs Daewon Song series.

Thanks !

my dad has this on vhs, i grew up watching it all the time. thanks for the nostalgia!

8:21 Steve Caballero blew my mind away Bammm

Love it! I grew up with films like this and Trashin' :) Thanks

I remember being a little Gromm back when these guys were the kings of skateboarding, I had the Ratbones Powell Peralta board, lol 😂 seems like forever ago now. The search for Animal Chin 🤙🏻

@PowellPeralta , amazing, thank you 👍

Epic! I love these classic Bones Brigade videos. They had the best skating and music.

🔥WOW🔥... Thanks for the memory's 👍👍

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!! not seen this in years and it instantly brings back such great memories!! :-)

I had this on VHS tape almost 40 years ago!!

Since first seeing this in 1983 at the ripe old age of 11 I have been chasing the stoke and cool of Lance Mountain just skating around town. This video was such a huge influence- the outfit, the style, the pure joy of skating around aimlessly, putting stickers wherever you felt like putting them... Basically, Lance was the blueprint for so much. Growing up in LA we went and found most of the spots he rode in this and that was no easy feat in the pre-Internet days. We even figured out where Mountain Manor was and went bananas when we realized it was close to our neighborhood. Lance let us skate one day too! Insane. Thanks, man!

The video that captures the fun of skateboarding.

That opening gives me goosebumps

lance’s parts are my favorite. very relaxing, only you, your board and road.

Faaaak. Haven't seen this in a long while! Thank you!

Wonder if Mountain ever got over his skateboard blues?

Classic! Got this in original video tape.

This video was one of my prize possessions for many years. Thanks for putting it up.

this was amazing to watch. i was born in 86 so yeah i wasnt skateboarding back then and i skate a popsicle shape. early 2000 OG.

I started skateboarding again after 20+ years because my daughter brought her first board. Once I had a quick go and realised that I could still ride, I had to get my own deck! This video reminds me of watching this and others back in the 1990s with mates or by myself in amazement at the skillz of others! Thanks for sharing!

Powell Peralta for life

The ditch scene! I remember seeing this scene back in the day but never saw it again when I would rewatch this video later in life. Thought I was going crazy, lol. Glad to know I wasn't misremembering.

Still my favorite skate video of all time!

Can you pleas do something about getting The Nudes - Mystery uploaded in full???

The best era of skateboarding 80 to 86, the great space in-between booms...

I thought this is a remake. Thanks for uploading this video. Much love🙌

Thanks to this channel for uploading old school videos. I discovered this team from Tony Hawk's biography book titled, "HAWK, OCCUPATION:SKATEBOARDER". MORE POWER TO BONES BRIGADE, POWELL AND PERALTA! 🤘🤘

This was life changing I honestly know me and my friends would watch this before a session usually.Kids today got it so easy that’s part of the reason their so good theirs a skate park in every county sum there’s 2 today is so insane.I totally luv the era I came up in 70s 80s 90s by the millennium I tried it was too sketchy feeling for me.I loved to skate somuch I moved right around the corner from a mini ramp and total steel tennis court style park like 2005.Went straight to mini ramp even pumping felt so weird then I was like eff it dropped sketchy af it was time to let the dream go.

tony be like skate for life

We watched this as kids on vhs, early 80s when we were trying to skate and getting chased by cops. Mullen blew my mind. Here I am now, nearly 50, life has moved on, but Mullen is still a god

Lance’s skating is so aesthetic, he’s amazing!

Bones Brigade is the best ever best skaters everywhere I’ve never seen them before i❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ you

Must have watched this a couple of hundred times over the years. Each time I seri I'm blown away at some of the things pulled even then. The hanplant I the dusty Mini drainage ditch. Hawk at Del mar. I could go on an on. They were all really jst kids. Amazing.

When Skateboarding it was just FUN

Came here after "Until The Wheels Fall Off" about Tony Hawk, what a touching work it is. I never skated like any of the guys who called themselves skaters, but nonetheless skateboarding is a big part of my life. I often hung around skate spots to see people trick and slam, played a crap ton of THPS on my console, Lords of Dogtown is my kinda movie (I rewatch it annually, like clockwork - that's where I discovered and fell in love with Heath Ledger), many of the bands whose tracks are used in skateboarding videos I end up digging a lot (like, still to this day I remember discovering Other Lives through a video by Bragic (Brettt Novak) with Kilian Martin in India). I guess I poured this all out to pay respects to the pioneers of this art form and to say "thank you" to all the people keeping it alive. Cheers!
