Compilation I put together of songs that featured in a few old skate videos, mostly H-Street, Santa Cruz and Blind Video Days (with a fine sprinkling from some others). If you were'nt into skateboarding from 1988 onwards then you'll most likely get no joy out of this post and the music overall won't have much of an effect on you, but if you were, then these tracks should blow you away! So if you know any skate rats from back then, even the balding, top heavy ones and even the ones who've lost that glint in their eye then tell them about this post... or don't, perhaps its best left in the past?

matt hensley... rick howard... my all time favorites!!! and music would always make their video parts even more special...
ReplyDeletethis is the best fucking blog. do you know stuart hammond & brady?
ReplyDeletehecka tight dude. fully vibe to this shit dog!
ReplyDeleteI am 24, sort of maybe starting to bald a little, kind of have a gut and everyday sink into some sort of depression over my broken body and not really being able to shred anymore...
ReplyDeleteThis post made me cry. absolutly amazing
24? crying over this shit, you were'nt even around back then man, and goin bald? dude you shouldnt worry so much! cheers though dog!
ReplyDeleteamen. I'm 36, the hair hasn't fully migrated north...and I never skated, but I listened to all that shit early on. I still get crap from people for liking Firehose. It seems that being a fan of theirs is only slightly less controversial than asserting that Keith Morris was the best Black Flag singer (which I patently believe he was...let the games begin).
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work. Apparently all you need to do is insult people and the comments come a-callin. It'll be interesting to see how long it lasts.
Ah, so harsh. As a serious skatehead, these songs ring true. Sitting around the tape player playing guess that skaters park based on what song was playing. Extra points if you can name the tricks. Brian Lotti, Gurrero, all the classic bay skaters. It's in my veins.
ReplyDeleteI hear that though, it ain't so bad.
Never been a skater...
ReplyDeletebut I have been reminded that how much I like Dinosaur Jr and JFA!
Thanks for that.
Also, it's weird seeing Jason Lee as a skater. I only knew him from Kevin Smith films until a couple of years ago.
and i don't know about you but i liked better the mix of "Girls, Guys & Trains" by Wonderful Broken Thing on the video than on the CD...
ReplyDeleteyeah, the cd with the 'better' Trains version is on scotchtape and threadspools, this version is from lookin for mike lookinland and was recorded in the studio and the other cassette in the kitchen style... someone should buy it and post the 'proper' version here cos i don't want that stinkin shit version, its like having a mentally handicapped child, fucks the compo up man!
ReplyDeletedude thanks for the mix classic stuff perfect for crusin down the street bustin ticks will blast it tomorrow on my skate home from work thanks
ReplyDeletenice mix bitch face,
ReplyDeletewe watched AND NOW vid, with this as the alternate soundtrack , much much better, this'll be on my skate-pod permanent-like
Nice one, thanks.

ReplyDeletewow I'm glad I found this blog! I'm 34 now, back in 87-91 were my skate hey days and H-street was #1 on my alter! Hensley, Sal, Brian Lotti all favorites. My close friend Pat Brennen was a pro for Powell back in 90-91 at the time. Anyhow, I'm on the prowl for most of the songs off the Shackle Me Not video. I found most of the songs/bands on myspace but I can't find jack shit on The Committed (night skating montage and mini-ramp skate montage). Are you able to get a decent copy of these 2 tracks? or even their whole album? I can't find a lick of them on the net, I know Mario Rubalcaba was their drummer. Any help would be awesome.

Hey this Don from Plaid Retina! Yeah I'm a fat old guy now but I'm still skating! I still play drums too (in a FAST hardcore band, no less!). I go to the bowls in the free parks a lot but I've been trying to get parking lots back in my life, skating the parking blocks doing bonlesses & shit like that. Been trying to bring inverts back too but DAMN I'm fat...not giving up though I've been practicing the motions in a swimming pool. Lata!!
ReplyDeleteJesus Don only nearly 10 years later I reply to this! Your band was sick. You got any other tracks still? Thanks very much!
DeleteAgreed, Keith Morris was the shit! I remember the front foot impossible man... it took me all summer on a Natas to finally pull that off. Thanks for the tracks I was looking for Squeaky Wheel and now I got it. I still skate but now I got 2 kids that skate with me it is fucking awsome!!! Sk8r4life
ReplyDeleteis that paulo diaz in that last picture? fuck, what a ruler he was back on the day.
ReplyDeleteYou sir are a legend. I've been putting together a compilation of skate video soundtracks from the late 80's/early 90's for the past 18 months and there's a whole heap on here I've been struggling to find. So glad Google pointed me in this direction during my quest to find Sub Society Sleep Talk
ReplyDeleteWhen I've finished this little project, I'll be sure to ping you the link the final work.
Pretty Awesome! Thanks for this, I've been craving some Handy with Shovels!
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOD!!! This music made me feel like I was 12 again -- used to watch the videos and get amped up before I went to skate. I have been looking for this music for 25 years, especially stuff from Gullwing Inside Out (best skate music of all time, IMHO) and the H-Street videos. Now I can use it to get amped up on my dissertation -- same emotions, different skills now. Thank you so much for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteAnyone new deal skatevideo music availble?!
ReplyDeleteGreat selection. The only song I see missing is Weakness by McRad, which was used on a few Powell/Peralta videos and possibly others.
ReplyDeleteepic ... thanks
ReplyDeleteI need this right now. Everything sucks but this shit takes me back. Thanks man!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure.
