#TBT Rodney Mullen: Bones Brigade Video Show
Posted by Paul Zitzer, Thursday, April 16, 2015 1:09 PM
This video part turned out to be perhaps the single most influential pieces of skate
footage ever released. You would not guess it by looking at the gear. It dates back to
1984, when Rodney Mullen was still just known as a freestyler that was noticeably more
tech and exciting than any of the other freestylers. But between all the crazy pogos and
caspers and wacky gear, the seeds of street skating were planted with the first ollie, the
first kickflip, and the first Kevin Romar nollie back 3 ever witnessed.
The Bones Brigade Video Show is considered to be the first modern skate video. It’s also
pretty hilarious. Skateboarding was figuring itself out back then, and if you look back at
it 30 years from now you’ll see that it still is today.
