#TBT Ricky Oyola EE III
Posted on Thursday, May 5, 2016 by Paul
If you weren’t skating in 1995, Eastern Exposure III might look to you like just another
in a long line of East Coast videos, chock full of dudes keeping it pretty basic. But looks
can be deceiving. Eastern Exposure is THE East Coast video, and it offered a watershed
moment in skateboarding that perfectly encapsuled, for the first time really, the essence
of what East Coast skating could be, an approach that has now spread all over the world.
Dan Wolfe was a pioneer and he put his heart, soul, and a million good ideas into the
creation of the video (like making it black and white for example). Ricky Oyola had last
part with 6 minutes that cemented his place as the most influential and well-loved skater
from the East for all eternity. Somebody should make a documentary about Ricky…as
long as that somebody is Dan Wolfe.
