throwback thursdays: duc and john in rubbish heap
Posted by Paul Zitzer, Thursday, December 25, 2014 8:17 AM
In the new issue of TSM, Daewon Song says that Duc and John’s part from Rubbish Heap inspired him “to just push down the streets and hit whatever was in the way.” That’s a little surprising because Daewon never ended up skating much like Duc and John. I know how you are though, with no link on the page you probably didn’t make it a point to see whose part he was talking about. That’s what we’re here for, finding links.
Rubbish Heap was a video from World Industries that came out in 1989. It included Rodney Mullen’s last real freestyle part, a tre flip on the Beryl school bank by Jeremy Klein, a 10 year old named Chris Branaugh who is famous for quitting skateboarding because Rocco allegedly ruined it for him, and early footage of spots like Venice beach and the Santa Monica Courthouse, plus the only Spike Jonze song I can think of ever hearing. But back to Duc and John, they were not overly cutting edge, but whatever they’re doing in this video was enough for Daewon to notice, so it’s gotta be worth a look. And sorry about the horrible quality of the footage, but hey, that’s VHS.
